Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. It is Film & TV Casting Call UK's policy to respect your privacy and comply with any applicable law and regulation regarding any personal information we may collect about you, including across our website, https://www.filmandtvcastings.co.uk, and other sites we own and operate.

Personal information is any information about you which can be used to identify you. This includes information about you as a person (such as name, address, and date of birth), your devices, payment details, and even information about how you use a website or online service.

In the event our site contains links to third-party sites and services, please be aware that those sites and services have their own privacy policies. After following a link to any third-party content, you should read their posted privacy policy information about how they collect and use personal information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any of your activities after you leave our site.

This policy is effective as of 14 January 2022.

Information We Collect

Information we collect falls into one of two categories: 'voluntarily provided' information and 'automatically collected' information.

  • Voluntarily provided information refers to any information you knowingly and actively provide us when using or participating in any of our services, promotions, or purchases.

  • Automatically collected information refers to any information automatically sent by your devices in the course of accessing our products and services.

Personal Information

We may ask for personal information — for example, when you subscribe to our newsletter, purchase a product or service, or contact us — which may include one or more of the following:

  • Name

  • Email

  • Date of birth or age range

  • Phone/mobile number

  • Location by town

  • Payment details (for purchases or paid services)

Sensitive Information

'Sensitive information' or 'special categories of data' is a subset of personal information that is given a higher level of protection. Examples include information relating to your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion, trade union or other professional associations or memberships, philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, sexual practices or sex life, criminal records, health information, or biometric information.

We will not collect sensitive information about you without first obtaining your consent, and we will only use or disclose it as permitted, required, or authorised by law.

Legitimate Reasons for Processing Your Personal Information

We only collect and use your personal information when we have a legitimate reason for doing so. In such cases, we only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary to provide our services to you.

We may collect personal information from you when you:

  • Sign up to receive updates from us via email or social media channels

  • Use a mobile device or web browser to access our content

  • Contact us via email, social media, or similar technologies

  • Mention us on social media

  • Submit details to join our Talent Directory

We may combine voluntarily provided and automatically collected personal information with general information or research data from other trusted sources to improve our site, marketing, and your experience.

When you purchase a product or service through Film & TV Casting Call UK, we collect the necessary personal information to provide and fulfil that service. This may include:

  • Your name, email, phone number, and billing/shipping address

  • Payment information for processing the purchase

  • Any information included in your casting post, including contact details, to be sent to potential candidates

By purchasing a casting post, mailing service, or product:

  • You consent to us using your personal information to process your purchase, fulfill your order, or send your casting information to recipients or potential candidates.

  • Your information will only be shared for the purposes necessary to deliver the service or product you purchased.

  • We will retain this information for as long as necessary to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, or for our record-keeping and accounting purposes.

Security of Your Personal Information

We protect your personal information using commercially acceptable means. However, no electronic method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your passwords and personal information within our services.

How Long We Keep Your Personal Information

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law. When no longer needed, information is deleted or anonymized.

Children’s Privacy

Our website, services, and products are intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Products marketed for children, such as clothing, are intended to be purchased by adults (parents or guardians), and all personal information collected during such transactions is from the adult purchaser, not the child.

International Transfers of Personal Information

Your personal information is stored and/or processed in the United Kingdom or in locations where our partners, affiliates, and third-party providers maintain facilities. Transfers to other countries will comply with applicable laws and protections.

Your Rights and Controlling Your Personal Information

You have rights under data protection laws to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal information. Marketing consent can be withdrawn at any time. Complaints can be made to us directly or to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

Cookies

We use cookies to improve website functionality and understand how visitors use our site. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please see our Cookie Policy for more information.

Performer Materials and Casting Applications

Applications for casting opportunities are generally made directly to the production company, casting director, or organisation listed in the casting notice. We do not collect, store, or process audition materials unless voluntarily submitted via our direct contact channels.

Talent Directory Submissions

Our voluntary Talent Directory allows performers to submit details for promotional purposes via a Google Form. Users must consent to the publication of their information. Information submitted is publicly visible and may be updated or removed upon request. We do not sell or share Talent Directory information beyond the purpose of displaying listings.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in business practices, legal requirements, or regulations. Updates will be posted on this page.
