Protecting your privacy is a top priority for us. If we request personal information, rest assured it will be handled in accordance with this policy.

LAWFUL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA
Clients & Suppliers
For business-to-business clients and contacts, we typically process your personal data based on our legitimate interests. This means we may use your information when we have a genuine and lawful business reason to do so, provided it does not override your rights or interests. Once a formal agreement is in place, our legal basis for processing shifts to contractual obligation, which also covers any steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract.
Talents & Employees
For business-to-consumer relationships, such as with represented talent and employees, our primary lawful basis for processing your personal data is contractual obligation. This applies when delivering services you’ve requested, managing your representation, or fulfilling employment terms and conditions. It also includes actions taken at your request prior to entering into a contract.
HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Clients
We collect your information to better understand your needs and provide a high standard of service. Specifically, we use your data to:
Deliver ongoing client support and maintain internal records, including for accounting purposes
Communicate with you via email or phone regarding your enquiry
Send occasional email updates about new talent or other relevant information. You can opt out of these emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in each message

Employees and Freelancers
We use your information to fulfil the requirements of your employment or freelance contract and manage our working relationship accordingly
DATA RETENTION
We retain documents, contracts, and related information for the duration of the contract and, where necessary, for up to seven years after it ends. The specific retention period will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, considering the individual circumstances and the need to meet our contractual and legal obligations. Personal data used for marketing purposes will be stored until you inform us that you no longer wish to receive such communications.
SECURITY BREACHES
While we have implemented robust measures to uphold key GDPR principles and protect personal data, the risk of a data breach can never be completely eliminated. In the unlikely event that a breach does occur, we will notify all affected individuals without undue delay. Where necessary, we will also report the breach to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) within 72 hours of becoming aware of it. Any data breaches should be reported to the designated contact listed at the end of this policy, who can be reached by email at any time.
HOW WE USE COOKIES
Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help analyse web traffic and recognise when you visit specific websites. They allow web applications to respond to you as an individual by gathering and remembering your preferences, enabling a more personalised browsing experience.
We use a few unobtrusive cookies to monitor which pages are being visited. This data helps us better understand website usage patterns, allowing us to improve functionality and tailor our content to better meet client needs. The information collected is used solely for statistical analysis and is removed from our system once processed.
Cookies play an important role in helping us deliver a more effective website experience by showing us which content is useful, and which isn’t. These cookies do not grant us access to your computer or any personal data beyond what you choose to share with us.
You have the option to accept or decline cookies. While most browsers accept them by default, you can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies if you prefer. Please note, however, that doing so may limit your ability to fully enjoy all features of the website. For more information on cookies, visit the All About Cookies website.
THIRD-PARTY PROCESSING
In some cases, delivering our services may involve sharing your personal information with trusted third-party providers. When doing so, we take appropriate steps to ensure these parties have robust data protection measures in place, consistent with the standards outlined in this policy, to safeguard your privacy rights.
We only share the information necessary to carry out our services and never permit third parties to use your personal data for marketing, market research, or any unrelated commercial activities. In line with GDPR requirements, we may also need to disclose your data to comply with legal obligations, to protect your vital interests or those of another person, or when required for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims—whether in legal proceedings or other formal processes.
