We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration.
We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of minors under 16.
We do not share personal information with third-party marketers for their own direct marketing purposes.
Depending on how our website is configured, certain analytics, advertising, cookie, pixel, or tracking technologies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under California law, even if no money is exchanged. If we engage in any activity that constitutes a “sale” or “sharing” under applicable law, we will provide required notices and opt-out mechanisms, including a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link or other required method.
COOKIES AND WEBSITE INFORMATION
Our website may use cookies, pixels, web beacons, analytics tools, log files, and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, analyze traffic, improve performance, understand usage, and support security.
Cookies are small files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. You may be able to disable cookies through your browser settings, but some website features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
We may use third-party analytics services and similar tools to help us understand website usage. These providers may collect information about your device, browser, IP address, pages viewed, and interactions with the website. We may also use website tools that help us understand the effectiveness of communications, forms, website content, or advertising.
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. There is not currently a uniform industry standard for responding to all Do Not Track signals. Where required by applicable law and applicable to our website practices, we will take reasonable steps to honor valid browser-based opt-out preference signals.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND PAYMENTS
To provide certain services, including collecting commissions and remitting compensation from bookings, we may collect or process financial information, including bank account information, check authorization information, tax forms, payment information, and related accounting records.
We may disclose financial information to payment processors, banks, payroll companies, accounting providers, tax professionals, auditors, and other service providers or professional advisers as reasonably necessary to process payments, collect commissions, remit compensation, comply with tax obligations, or administer our business.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect financial information. However, no transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
MINORS’ PRIVACY
Because CTC may represent minors, we may collect personal information about minors in connection with representation, submissions, auditions, bookings, work permits, parental or guardian authorizations, school-related documentation, payroll, legal compliance, and related services.
For minor clients, we collect, use, and disclose personal information with the involvement or authorization of a parent or legal guardian, as required by law and industry practice.
We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of minors under 16.

If a parent or guardian believes that a minor has provided personal information to us without appropriate authorization, please contact us at privacy@ctctalent.com.
THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND PLATFORMS
Our website, communications, or services may link to or interact with websites, platforms, casting databases, social media services, payment providers, payroll providers, or other third-party services that we do not control.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third parties. You should review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use.
RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, provide our services, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, protect rights and safety, and satisfy accounting, tax, audit, union, guild, employment, or regulatory requirements.
The length of time we retain information depends on the category of information, the nature of our relationship with you, the purpose for which the information was collected, legal and contractual requirements, and whether the information is needed for legitimate business or legal purposes.
Client and talent records may be retained while representation is active and for a reasonable period afterward for business, legal, accounting, tax, commission, residual, reuse, contract, and dispute-resolution purposes.
Booking, contract, commission, accounting, tax, and payroll records may be retained for the period required by law and for a reasonable period afterward.
Minor client records may be retained as needed to comply with legal obligations, protect rights, document authorization, and administer bookings, payments, and representation.
Website analytics information may be retained for a shorter period unless needed for security, troubleshooting, analytics, or legal purposes.
Applicant and employment-related records may be retained as required or permitted by law.
When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, de-identify, aggregate, or archive it in accordance with applicable law and our business practices.
SECURITY
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information in our custody or control. These safeguards may include limiting access to personal information to personnel and service providers with a business need to access it, using secure systems and vendors where appropriate, maintaining internal procedures, and taking steps designed to protect against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
No system, website, email communication, or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
