Personal data means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. We may collect, use, store, and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

3. How We Use Your Personal Data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • To assess creative submissions: Reviewing scripts, showreels, or portfolios you have submitted to see if they align with our production slate (Legitimate Interests).

4. How We Share Your Personal Data

As a film production entity, we may share your personal data with internal and external third parties, including:

  • Our directors, producers, and creative heads involved in project development.

  • Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, accountants, and insurers.

  • Co-production partners, financiers, distributors, or completion bond companies, where strictly necessary for the progression or financing of a film project.

  • Third-party service providers (such as cloud storage providers like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365).

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.

5. International Transfers

Because the film industry operates globally, we may occasionally share your data with international partners (e.g., US-based distributors or international film festivals) outside the UK. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring appropriate legal safeguards, such as UK Standard Contractual Clauses, are in place.

6. Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know.

7. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for.

  • Unsolicited Script Submissions / Casting Calls: If we do not move forward with your submission, your data will be securely deleted within 1 year of the project closing, unless you explicitly agree that we can keep it on file for future projects.

  • Successful Contractors / Cast / Crew: Data will be kept longer to comply with UK financial, tax, and intellectual property chain-of-title regulations.
