Talent Privacy Notice

Effective Date: 03/01/2025

Thank you for your participation in the Talent-Checks Report process. This notice explains how we protect your data, how we prepare Talent‑Checks Reports, and our commitment to comply with federal and state privacy laws across the United States.

1. What Information We Collect

• Personal Details:
  Your name, contact information, and any other details provided by you to the production company.

• Background Data:
  Information gathered from public records, publicly available social media sources, and third-party state and federal government databases to assess your suitability for on-camera or on-set roles.

• Identity Verification:
  We review your Driver’s License or an equivalent document to confirm your identity.

Note: Talent‑Checks is a Registered Trademark, as filed with and granted by the USPTO.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Purpose:
  We prepare a tailored, bespoke Talent‑Checks Report—our Registered Trademark that combines a background check and a social media scan—specifically designed to inform the casting process for commercial productions. This report is one component of the overall decision-making process and is used alongside other subjective factors when evaluating talent.

• Selection Process:
  The production stakeholders may use the Talent‑Checks Report along with additional criteria in the hiring process. The Talent-Checks report itself does not determine the selection.

• No Credit Influence:
  Our process does not involve reviewing or influencing your credit rating or credit worthiness.

3. Data Security

• Encryption:
  All data is encrypted during transmission and while stored, ensuring your personal information is protected.

• Data Destruction:
  Your data is securely destroyed within six months—or sooner—after the Talent‑Checks Report is issued.

• No Third-Party Sales:
  We never sell your personal data to any third parties after the report is generated.

4. Sharing Your Information

• Report Distribution:
  The finalized Talent‑Checks Report is provided directly to the production company that commissioned the service. Your personal information is shared only as necessary to support the casting process and in compliance with all applicable laws.

• Limited Sharing:
  We do not share your data with any external entities beyond what is required for the preparation and delivery of your Talent‑Checks Report.

• Confidentiality:
  While the Talent‑Checks Report is fully transparent to you, details regarding the production companies we work with are protected under strict non-disclosure agreements and cannot be disclosed.

5. Your Rights

• Access and Correction:
  You have the right to request access to the personal information we have collected about you and to ask for corrections if you believe any details are inaccurate.

• Dispute Resolution:
  If you believe that your Talent‑Checks Report contains errors or inaccuracies, please contact us so that we can review and address any issues.

6. Federal and State Compliance

• Federal Laws:
  We adhere to all applicable federal laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), ensuring transparency, accuracy, and the right to dispute any information included in your Talent‑Checks Report.

• State Requirements:
  Our practices meet or exceed the privacy and data protection requirements of all U.S. states. This includes compliance with state-specific laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other privacy regulations in Texas, Delaware, New York, and every other state where we operate or where our clients are located.

7. Our Commitment to Inclusivity

At Talent‑Checks, we are dedicated to creating safer, more welcoming experiences throughout the production process for Film, Television, and Commercial Media. We believe in supporting an inclusive work environment where all individuals are respected, regardless of age, gender, religion, or any other personal characteristic. Our approach is forward-thinking. We partner with production companies that recognize the value of a diverse and representative workforce, helping ensure that casting decisions are informed by a broad range of factors that contribute to a creative and respectful working environment.
