Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing, we rely on the basis appropriate to the circumstances, which may include your consent, steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, or legitimate business interests.
How information is stored and shared
Showciety uses third-party technology and service providers to operate its website, manage enquiries and maintain business records.
These providers may include Zoho for customer relationship management and form processing, and Hostinger for website hosting and related infrastructure.
We may also share relevant information with professional advisers, contractors, production partners or service providers where reasonably necessary to deliver a requested service or operate our business.
We do not sell personal information.
Where service providers process information in other countries, personal information may be transferred internationally. Where required by applicable law, we take appropriate steps to protect personal information in connection with such transfers.
Artist applications
Information submitted through our artist or career application form is used for professional casting, recruitment and project consideration.
Submitting an application does not guarantee employment, engagement, representation, casting or participation in a Showciety project.
We may retain an applicant’s professional profile so that we can consider the applicant for suitable future projects unless the applicant asks us to delete the information, subject to any information we are required or permitted to retain by law.
Our artist application is intended for persons aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly request career applications from children through this form.
How long we keep information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including managing enquiries, ongoing business relationships, artist consideration, contractual matters, dispute resolution and applicable legal or accounting requirements.
Retention periods may therefore vary depending on the type of information and the reason it is being processed.
Security
We take reasonable organisational and technical measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you are located and the law that applies, you may have rights concerning your personal information.
These may include the right to:
- Request information about how your personal information is processed
- Request access to personal information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
- Request deletion of information where applicable
- Restrict or object to certain processing where applicable
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Request portability of information where applicable
