All Stage Casting is designed to help talent gain visibility for casting opportunities. By creating a talent profile, you understand that profile information may be visible to relevant users of the platform.
This may include approved clients, casting directors, production companies, brands, agencies, advertisers and other industry professionals using All Stage Casting for casting purposes.
When you apply for a casting, the information submitted as part of your application may be shared with the client or casting professional responsible for that opportunity.
You should only upload information, photographs, videos or links that you are comfortable being used for casting and profile visibility purposes.
Where a profile relates to a child or young person under 18, the account must be created and managed by a parent or legal guardian.
Parents and guardians are responsible for providing accurate information, managing the child profile, controlling applications and ensuring that any uploaded images or materials are appropriate.
We may process child talent data for the purposes of profile creation, casting applications, safeguarding, client review, moderation, support and platform operation.
We may remove, restrict or review child-related content where we believe it may be inappropriate, inaccurate, unsafe or contrary to our platform standards.
If you use All Stage Casting as a client, we may collect and process business contact details, casting briefs, project requirements, communication records, billing information and account activity.
Client information is used to manage accounts, verify casting opportunities, publish suitable castings, process enquiries, support bookings and protect the platform from misuse.
Clients must ensure they have the necessary rights and permissions to provide any personal information included within casting briefs or project materials.
Where payments, subscriptions or platform access fees are processed, payment information may be handled by secure third-party payment providers such as Stripe, PayPal or similar providers.
All Stage Casting does not store full debit or credit card details directly on its own servers. Payment providers may process payment details, billing information, transaction records and fraud checks in accordance with their own privacy policies and security standards.
We may retain transaction records, invoices and payment history where required for accounting, legal, tax, fraud prevention and dispute handling purposes.
All Stage Casting may use artificial intelligence, automated systems or third-party technology providers to assist with platform features.
This may include image review, profile checks, casting support, moderation, recommendations, fraud prevention, job posting assistance, customer support and platform administration.
Automated tools are used to support platform efficiency and safety. They do not guarantee selection, casting success, employment, suitability or accuracy.
Where appropriate, automated outputs may be reviewed, amended or overridden by a member of our team.
Some of our service providers may process personal information outside the United Kingdom. This may include countries where hosting, payment, analytics, email, AI or support providers operate.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take steps designed to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, international data transfer agreements or equivalent lawful transfer mechanisms.
We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
| Data Type | Typical Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Account information | For as long as the account remains active, plus a reasonable period afterwards |
| Talent profiles and uploaded content | While the profile is active, unless removed earlier or retained for legitimate reasons |
| Casting applications | For as long as needed for casting administration, disputes, safeguarding or compliance |
| Payment and invoice records | Usually up to 6 years for tax, accounting and legal purposes |
| Customer support messages | Usually up to 3 years, unless needed for disputes or legal reasons |
| Security logs and technical data | For a limited period needed for security, fraud prevention and diagnostics |
| Marketing preferences | Until you unsubscribe or object, with suppression records retained where necessary |
We may retain limited information after account deletion where necessary for legal obligations, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, safeguarding, tax records, security or legitimate business purposes.
