PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: January 1, 2025

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy describes what data we collect from you, why we collect it, how we use it, how we share and manage your Personal Data, and your rights associated with that data. This Privacy Policy applies to www.nycmodelcastings.com (the “Site”) and any related applications or services operated by NYC Model Castings (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using NYC Model Castings, you acknowledge your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. Please also review our Terms of Service, which govern your use of the platform. Note that NYC Model Castings is not a talent agency and does not guarantee employment or representation. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy or our Terms, please discontinue use of NYC Model Castings immediately.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND USE
Personal Data You Provide: We collect Personal Data you voluntarily provide when registering, creating a talent profile, or subscribing to email newsletters. This may include your name, email address, contact information, location, and other details you choose to provide. We also collect billing information for payments. Identification & Age Verification: We may require images or scans of identification (e.g., driver’s license) to verify identity and/or age (especially for users under 18). This may be done to comply with relevant child-protection laws (e.g., COPPA, CCPA, GDPR). Third-Party Verification: We may use third-party vendors to check your information against various sources, including watch lists or criminal databases, to maintain a safe platform. Site Usage Data: We log your visits, searches, clicks, and communications on the Site using cookies, IP addresses, device information, and similar technologies. Cookies help personalize your experience and gather usage data. You may adjust your browser settings to manage cookie preferences. Third-Party Embeds: Our Site may embed tools or widgets (e.g., Calendly) with their own data collection practices. We are not responsible for third-party privacy policies or actions.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR DATA
Account Management: To create and manage your account on NYC Model Castings. Personalization & Communication: To personalize content, respond to your inquiries, send account updates or marketing communications, and measure advertisement performance. Service Improvement & Security: To analyze usage, improve our services, and enhance platform safety. Business Transactions & Legal Compliance: We may disclose your data if required by law, as part of a business transaction (e.g., merger or sale), or to protect our legal rights or comply with legal obligations. Content Monitoring: We reserve the right to remove or monitor data you post if we determine it violates our policies or is necessary for legal or security reasons. Important: While our platform is intended for portfolio-building and networking, we do not represent users or guarantee any work or representation opportunities.

3. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION
We engage service providers and data processors (e.g., hosting, analytics, marketing, identity verification) to help operate and improve NYC Model Castings. These third parties access your data under strict confidentiality obligations and only as necessary to perform their functions. Your information may be transferred to the United States or other countries with different data protection laws, but we will protect your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable regulations wherever it is processed.

4. CHILDREN AND MINORS
Under 16: We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 without parental or guardian consent. Only a parent or guardian may create an account for a child under 16. We may require proof of identity (e.g., a scanned ID) to confirm the parent or guardian’s age and authority. If you believe we have collected data from a child under 16 in error, please contact us so we can remove it. Under 18: Consistent with our Terms of Service, if you are under 18, your parent or legal guardian must review and accept the Terms on your behalf. We may request additional verification to ensure compliance with relevant child-protection laws. If we learn someone under 18 is using the Site without appropriate consent, we may delete associated data or terminate the account.

5. DATA RETENTION
We retain Personal Data for as long as necessary for legitimate business purposes or to comply with legal obligations. You may request access to or deletion of your data at any time. However, some data may be retained to meet legal requirements, protect our interests (e.g., fraud prevention), or as otherwise permitted by law.

6. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS FOR EEA RESIDENTS
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you may have certain rights under the GDPR, including the right to access, correct, or delete your Personal Data, and the right to object to or restrict certain data processing. You may withdraw consent for cookies at any time by clearing them from your browser or adjusting your cookie settings. Users under 16 in the EEA may only use the Site if a parent or guardian creates and manages the account on their behalf.

7. LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
Our Site may contain links to external websites or services that we do not operate. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies for information on how they collect and use data.

8. YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
California residents may request information regarding our disclosure of certain Personal Data to third parties for direct marketing or exercise rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), such as requesting deletion or access to data. We do not discriminate against users who exercise their CCPA rights.

9. SECURITY OF YOUR DATA
We use industry-standard security measures to protect Personal Data. However, no electronic transmission or storage method can be guaranteed 100% secure, and you provide information at your own risk. Should we become aware of a data breach impacting your Personal Data, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
