Privacy Policy

---

Kit Talent ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information when you visit our website, contact us, or submit information to us in connection with representation enquiries or applications for young performers.

Please read this policy carefully. 

By using our website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Kit Talent is a talent agency representing young performers.

For the purposes of UK data protection law, Kit Talent is the data controller of the personal information you provide to us through our website and application forms.

We may collect and process the following types of personal information:

Information you provide directly

When you complete a contact form, application form, or otherwise get in touch with us, we may collect:

• name of the young performer; 
• date of birth or age; 
• parent or guardian name; 
• email address; 
• telephone number; 
• postal address; 
• details about performance experience, training, interests, and skills; 
• photographs, showreels, spotlight details, CVs, or other materials submitted as part of an application; 
• school year or education-related information where relevant to representation; 
• any other information you choose to provide in your enquiry or application. 

Information you provide automatically

When you use our website, we may automatically collect certain technical information such as:

• IP address; 
• browser type and version; 
• device information; 
• pages visited and time spent on the website; 
• referring website addresses; 
• general usage and analytics data.

As Kit Talent works with young performers, some of the personal information we collect may relate to children.

Where personal information is submitted in relation to a young performer, we expect that this will usually be provided by a parent or guardian, or with their knowledge and involvement. We take appropriate care when handling children’s personal data and aim to use it only where necessary, fairly, and transparently. The ICO makes clear that children’s personal data can be processed under the UK GDPR, but organisations must choose an appropriate lawful basis and take care to protect children’s interests. 

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in a way that is inappropriate or without proper authority. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information without appropriate parental or guardian involvement, please contact us and we will review the information and, where appropriate, delete it.

We may use your personal information to:

• respond to enquiries; 
• assess applications for representation; 
• contact applicants and parents or guardians about auditions, representation opportunities, and next steps; 
• manage our relationship with performers and their families; 
• maintain our records; 
• operate, improve, and secure our website; 
• comply with legal, regulatory, and safeguarding responsibilities; 
• send relevant updates or marketing communications, where lawful.

Under the UK GDPR, organisations must identify a lawful basis for processing personal data and explain it in their privacy notice. 

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on the following lawful bases:

• Legitimate interests: to review applications, respond to enquiries, run and improve our services, and manage representation opportunities in a way that is reasonable and expected. 
• Contract: where processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into an agreement, or to perform a contract with you. 
• Consent: where you have clearly agreed to us using your information for a specific purpose, such as certain marketing communications or the submission of optional materials. 
• Legal obligation: where we need to use or retain information to comply with the law. 
• Vital interests / safeguarding-related reasons: in limited circumstances, where necessary to help protect a child or another person from harm. 

Where we rely on consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time. 

If you submit an application or expression of interest for representation with Kit Talent, we may use the information provided to:

• review the young performer’s suitability for representation; 
• communicate with the parent, guardian, or applicant about the application; 
• arrange auditions, meetings, recalls, or follow-up steps; 
• keep an internal record of applications received; 
• consider future opportunities, where appropriate. 

Submitting an application does not guarantee representation.

We ask that any information submitted as part of an application is accurate and provided with the knowledge and authority of the parent or guardian where the applicant is under 18.

In some cases, application forms or communications may include more sensitive information, for example health information, access needs, disability information, or other details relevant to auditions, castings, training, or safeguarding.

We will only collect and use this type of information where it is genuinely necessary and where we have a lawful basis and, where required, an additional condition for doing so under data protection law. The ICO notes that special category data requires both a lawful basis and an additional condition for processing.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share personal information where appropriate with:

• trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our website or manage forms, email, storage, or administration; 
• professional advisers; 
• casting platforms or industry services, where relevant and appropriate; 
• legal or regulatory authorities where required by law; 
• safeguarding bodies or other appropriate organisations where necessary to protect a child or individual from harm. 

Where we share personal information, we will do so only where there is an appropriate lawful basis. The ICO states that organisations must identify a lawful basis before sharing personal data. 

We will keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, including to deal with enquiries, assess applications, manage ongoing relationships, meet legal obligations, and resolve disputes.

If an application is unsuccessful, we may retain the information for a limited period in case a suitable future opportunity arises or for administrative purposes, unless you ask us to delete it sooner and we do not need to keep it for a lawful reason.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures to help protect the personal information we hold. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted on the internet.

Under UK data protection law, individuals have rights over their personal information, and children have the same data protection rights as adults. 

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:

• request access to personal information we hold about you; 
• request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information; 
• request deletion of your information; 
• request restriction of processing; 
• object to certain processing; 
• request transfer of your information in some circumstances; 
• withdraw consent where we rely on consent. 

The ICO also explains that the right of access allows individuals to obtain a copy of their personal data and understand how and why it is being used. 

If the information relates to a young performer, a parent or guardian may sometimes exercise rights on their behalf, although this can depend on the child’s age, understanding, and the circumstances. ICO guidance notes that children and parents may both be relevant in rights requests, and that older children’s own wishes may need to be considered. 

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.

If you have any concerns about how we use your personal information, please contact us first and we will try to resolve the issue.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK regulator for data protection. ICO guidance says privacy notices should tell people about their rights and how they can complain. 

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices, legal requirements, or operational needs. Any updated version will be posted on this page with the revised effective date.
