Notice About Minors
The Services are directed to a general audience; they are not directed to children under the age of 13. We restrict registration for all our Services to individuals age 18 and above (or the age of majority, as determined by the laws of the state in which you reside, whichever is older). If you are under 18 years old (“Minor”), you must have an Authorized Representative register on your behalf. Only Authorized Representatives may create accounts, maintain Account Profiles, and utilize the Services on behalf of Minors. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18 years of age. If you become aware that anyone under 18 has provided us with personal information, please contact us as set forth in Section 9, Contacting Us. If we obtain actual knowledge that we have received information from someone under 18, we will take steps to block that child from accessing our Services and remove that user’s personal information from our systems. Under applicable European Data Privacy Laws, children ages 13 to 16 may provide valid consent to process their personal information. Where consent is required under such European Data Privacy Laws, you have the obligation to provide to us evidence of such consent or, as required under the European Data Privacy Laws, the authorization of the holder of parental responsibility for the child. We may refuse to process, or to continue to process, the child’s personal information until we receive this evidence of consent or authorization.
Notice to Authorized Representatives
Each agency, management company and/or individual agent and/or manager engaged by the agency or management company to act on behalf of the Talent (“Talent Representative”), and parents or legal guardians of Minors (collectively referred to as “Authorized Representative”), represent that the Authorized Representative is legally authorized to represent the Talent in connection with the Services, have obtained any required consent from the Talent, and will utilize all aspects of the applicable Services on behalf of the Talent in accordance this Privacy Policy. Authorized Representatives agree to stop using the Services immediately when such authority or consent from Talent is no longer effective.
We are not obligated but reserve the right at any time to require evidence of an Authorized Representative’s authority to enter into this Privacy Policy and act on behalf of Talent in connection with the applicable Services, including consent of Talent to share personal information on their behalf. If we become aware that someone other than an Authorized Representative has established, edited or otherwise modified in any way an Account Profile or Profile of a Talent, we will take steps to terminate the account and remove any corresponding information within our control. Authorized Representatives are solely responsible for their acts or omissions in connection with the Services and indemnify CN for any claims or liabilities of any kind for their unauthorized or unlawful acts.

We and our third-party analytics providers may use a variety of tracking technologies that automatically or passively collect certain information described in this Privacy Policy from your computer, mobile, or other access device whenever you visit or interact with the Services or our advertising (“Usage Data”). Usage Data may be collected from the devices you use to access our Services for a variety of reasons including system administration, to prevent fraudulent activity or improve security, to assess the performance of our Services, and to tell us, for example, the website you were visiting before you came to the Services and the website you visit after you leave the Services, whether you have visited the Services before or if you are a new visitor and to help us identify the features in which you may have the greatest interest. Keep in mind that certain features of our Services are available only through the use of tracking technologies, and disabling them may impact the functionality of our Services.

EXAMPLES OF TRACKING TOOLS
Cookies
A cookie is a data file placed on a device when the device is used to visit the Services. We use cookies to collect information for record-keeping purposes and to make it easier to navigate the Services. Cookies are stored on users’ hard drives. We use both “session ID cookies” and “persistent cookies.” Session ID cookies are used to store information while a user is logged into the Services and expire when the user closes his/her browser. Persistent cookies are used to make tasks like logging into the Services easier for returning users by remembering a user’s login information. Persistent cookies stay on a user’s hard drive from one session to the next. Cookies may be used for many purposes including, without limitation, remembering you and your preferences and tracking your visits to our web pages. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a persistent or session ID cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off such cookies through your browser settings. Every browser is a little different, so refer to your browser’s Help menu for the correct way to modify your cookies. However, cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash cookies. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies, please click here. If you choose to disable cookies on your device, some features of the Services may not function properly.
Web Beacons/GIFS
Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as “1×1 GIFs” or “clear GIFs”) may be included in our web pages and messages. Web beacons may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a web page or e-mail can act as a web beacon. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes including, without limitation, to count visitors to our Services, to monitor how users navigate the Services, to count how many sent emails were actually opened, or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.
Embedded Scripts
An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Services, such as the links you click on. The code downloads temporarily onto the device you use to access Services from our web server or third-party service provider. It is active only while you are connected to the Services, and is deactivated or deleted after that.
HTML5
We may use HTML5 in some of our Services, including in our mobile website. HTML5 has browser web storage that does not rely on traditional browser cookies. Like Flash cookies, HTML5 cookies are not stored in a browser “cookies” file and, like Flash cookies, can be used to track users across websites. To our knowledge, there is currently no known way for a user of a mobile device to remove HTML5 tracking and storage.
E-tags, Cache Browsers, and Web Logs
Like most standard website servers, we log IP addresses (a unique number assigned to every computer on the Internet) and device identifier to improve security, analyze trends, and administer the Services. We may track your movement within the Services, the pages from which you were referred, access times, and browser types. This information may include the browser you are using, the Internet address from which you linked to our Services, the operating system of your computer, the unique IP address of the computer or device identifier of the mobile device that you used to access our Services, and usage and browsing habits. We use this information in the aggregate to gauge the effectiveness, usage, and popularity of our Services, track information for statistical purposes, help diagnose and troubleshoot server malfunctions, analyze trends, track user movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information. We may also use individual information we collect through web logs to send you targeted offers and other communications.
5. HOW WE USE AND SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
How We Process Database Information About You
The Services are designed for networking, which enables Industry Professionals to search for you, view your Profile, and contact you or your Authorized Representative. For example, personal information on your Profile may be visible to casting directors who are searching the database for new Talent or Talent Representatives who are searching for their own Talent accounts. Please remember that any information you disclose on your Profile may be accessed, used, and stored by Industry Professionals, and redistributed to others in any manner. We attempt to limit access to our searchable database to legitimate Industry Professionals, but we do not do background checks of our members and cannot guarantee who might gain access to the Services. Nor do we have control over how those users may use your personal information. Therefore, there is no expectation of privacy when posting, or otherwise participating in the Services. You expressly and voluntarily accept and agree to the processing of the information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If at any time you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, you must cancel your account by following the instructions in Section 7, Choice and Opt-outs. We have the right, but not the obligation, to monitor any activity and content associated with the database or other Services. We reserve the right to take action in connection with any content or action we deem to be inappropriate. Please review our Terms for more information regarding your appropriate use of the Services. We use your personal information for the following key purposes:
- To contact you: Subject to applicable law, we or our third-party service and business providers may send you communications. Such communications are designed to make your experience of our Services more efficient and may include, but are not limited to notifications about our Services and other communications (including important news that could affect your relationship with us) and communications about promotions and our mobile application features. Where required under applicable data privacy laws, we will not send you marketing communications without your prior consent.
- For legal purposes: We may use and share personal information for legal purposes, including financial, regulatory, tax and other legal obligations, and to respond to governmental or regulatory requests or subpoenas or for litigation purposes.
- For our legitimate business interests and those of a third party: We may use your personal information to manage our legal, regulatory, financial and business requirements, including obtaining legal advice, in the course of disputes and litigation, internal and/or regulatory investigations.
- For our business purposes: We may use your personal information to help us efficiently operate the Services, to count and recognize visitors to the website, to enable certain features on the website and for other purposes related to managing our business.
- For other purposes: Subject to applicable law, we may use your personal information for additional purposes in connection with the Services, where you have provided your prior consent.
Information Posted Through the Services
The Services offer you the opportunity to communicate with Industry Professionals for you and Industry Professionals to share Profiles and other content. For example, if an Industry Professional posts an audition video in which you appear on the Services, it may be viewed by users of the Services and forwarded to others outside the Services. We have no control over what others may post or how those users may use the information. Therefore, you should exercise caution and discretion when using our Services or allowing your Authorized Representative to participate on your behalf.
Personalized URL Link to Your Online Profile
Your online Profile is accessible by members and third parties outside of the Services with whom you have shared the link and web search engines, which are outside of our control.
Talent Scout®
You may opt-in to make your Profile visible to agents and managers searching the CN database for Talent to represent (this functionality is known as “Talent Scout®”). Talent Scout® is not available on accounts already linked to a talent agency. To opt-in to Talent Scout®, click on “Representation” under your Profile preferences and select the type(s) of representation you are seeking. To opt-out of Talent Scout®, change your Talent Scout® preference to “Not Seeking Representation.” CN has no control over how those with access to your Profile use your information. This feature’s availability may be dependent upon your subscription plan.
Casting Billboard®
If you sign up for Casting Billboard®, you will be able to submit your Profile to a wide variety of entertainment industry jobs. CN has no control over how those with access to your Profile or other information you post use your information. If you sign up for Casting Billboard®, you agree and opt-in to receive various communications including email notices and telephone calls from members who post on Casting Billboard® and access the information you submit on the roles you are interested in. This feature’s availability may be dependent upon your subscription plan.
Track submissions
Users can track submissions within the ‘Your Auditions’ feature. This allows you to monitor projects and media requests completed. This feature’s availability may be dependent upon your subscription plan.
Authorized Service Providers
We may share your information with authorized third parties such as our vendors who help with our business operations, including the storage and processing of information for the uses listed in this Privacy Policy and providing customer service (“Authorized Service Providers”). For example, financial information you provide will be disclosed to our payment processor to process credit card transactions. In this case, established third-party bank processing agents and distribution institutions handle these transactions. They receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information to process your order. We may disclose information to third parties to verify the authenticity of any financial transaction involving our company or its affiliates or subsidiaries or to update your billing information. We do not store any credit, debit card or financial or bank account information we receive from our payment processor, except for the last four digits of your credit card, card type and billing address for verification purposes.
Co-branded Areas
Certain areas of our Services may be provided to you in association with third parties who provide us specialized content or offer products or services (“Co-Branded Areas”), which identify the third party. If you elect to interact with or register for the products and/or services provided in these Co-Branded Areas, you either will be providing the information you share to us and/or the third party, or we might be providing your personal information directly to the third party. Therefore, your personal information will be subject to this Privacy Policy as well as the privacy policy and practices of such third party. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we suggest you review the respective privacy policies of those third parties to learn more about their privacy practices.
Sharing with Affiliates and Marketing Partners
We will use your personal information for marketing communications with your consent or where we otherwise have legitimate interests to send you these marketing communications. We may share your personal information and other information we collect from you with our affiliated companies and marketing partners to send you messages about new products, enhancements, special offers and other promotional messages. You may opt-out of receiving any promotional messages from our marketing partners or us by following the instructions in Section 7, Choice and Opt-Outs.
Connecting with Social Networks
When using our Services in connection with third-party social networking services such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Google+ (each and collectively, a “Social Network”), you may have the option to connect your Account or activity on our Services with your Social Network information and activity. If you choose to do this, we may import information from your Social Network account to your Account Profile on our Services. We only import the information you allow to be exported from the Social Network, which is controlled by your privacy settings on that Social Network (“Permitted Social Network Content”). The authentication of your Social Network login credentials is conducted solely by your Social Network. By connecting your Social Network account with our Services and authorizing us to have access to the information, you agree that we may collect, use, and store Permitted Social Network Content across all our Services and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Any information or content you or other users post when participating in social networks, plug-ins or other services that link to our Services becomes public information and is subject to redistribution by third parties or us. Our Services may also provide the ability for you to make announcements regarding auditions or jobs, or invite people to join the Services via email, SMS, or social media platforms. Many of those communications will list your name and email address in the header of the message. Once you have connected with an individual, your contact information will be shared with that individual.
Aggregate and Analyze Information
We use aggregate information about our users and other non-personal information to analyze the Services and user behavior. We may combine or supplement the information you give us with information we collect from other sources and use it for any purpose disclosed in this Privacy Policy. For example, as permitted by law, we may collect demographic and other information that is publicly available. We also use this information to prepare aggregated reports, which we share with third parties.

Your European Privacy Rights
The European Data Privacy Laws give you certain additional rights regarding information held about you. Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with the European Data Privacy Laws. If you would like to request a copy of your personal information being held by us, or request that it be deleted or to update and/or correct your personal information or request that we provide a copy to another data controller of your personal information that you have provided to us, please contact us. We will need enough information to ascertain your identity as well as the nature of your request. We will aim to respond to your request within one calendar month of receipt of the request.

Storage and Retention
Personally identifiable and other information that you provide to us in the course of participating in the Services may be gathered and stored in one or more of our corporate databases. We may retain information from canceled accounts to comply with law, prevent fraud, assist with investigations, resolve disputes, analyze or troubleshoot programs, enforce our Terms, or take other actions permitted by law. We may also retain information to prevent re- registration in the event that your account has been suspended or terminated or to create an archival copy of your information, which might be used by us for recordkeeping and internal purposes. We will retain your information for the period of time necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is permitted or required by law. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and applicable legal requirements.
Jurisdiction and Cross-Border Issues
Our Services are available in the United States and intended for use by account holders located in the United States only.

We may limit access to our Services, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction we choose, at any time and in our sole discretion. By using our Services and submitting any personal information, you consent to the transfer of personal information to other countries, which may provide a level of data security different from your country of residence. You are also consenting to the application of United States law in all matters concerning the Services. In accordance with the European Data Privacy Laws, the personal information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the UK/European Economic Area (“EEA”) and processed by our staff or suppliers operating in the United States and India, both of which have less stringent data protection laws compared to the UK/EEA. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfillment of your order, the processing of your payment details, and the provision of support services including photo processing. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing of your personal information. Where appropriate, we use the standard contractual clauses in the form approved by the European Commission to protect your personal information when it is transferred outside the UK/EEA.
No Rights of Third Parties
This Privacy Policy does not create rights enforceable by third parties or require disclosure of any personal information relating to users of the Services.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a persistent or session ID cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off such cookies through your browser settings. Every browser is a little different, so refer to your browser’s Help menu for the correct way to modify your cookies.

Web Beacons/GIFS
Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as “1×1 GIFs” or “clear GIFs”) may be included in our web pages and messages. Web beacons may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a web page or e-mail can act as a web beacon. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes including, without limitation, to count visitors to our Services, to monitor how users navigate the Services, to count how many sent emails were actually opened, or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.
Embedded Scripts
An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Services, such as the links you click on. The code downloads temporarily onto the device you use to access Services from our web server or third-party service provider. It is active only while you are connected to the Services, and is deactivated or deleted after that.
HTML5
We may use HTML5 in some of our Services, including in our mobile website. HTML5 has browser web storage that does not rely on traditional browser cookies. Like Flash cookies, HTML5 cookies are not stored in a browser “cookies” file and, like Flash cookies, can be used to track users across websites. To our knowledge, there is currently no known way for a user of a mobile device to remove HTML5 tracking and storage.
E-tags, Cache Browsers, and Web Logs
Like most standard website servers, we log IP addresses (a unique number assigned to every computer on the Internet) and device identifier to improve security, analyze trends, and administer the Services. We may track your movement within the Services, the pages from which you were referred, access times, and browser types. This information may include the browser you are using, the Internet address from which you linked to our Services, the operating system of your computer, the unique IP address of the computer or device identifier of the mobile device that you used to access our Services, and usage and browsing habits. We use this information in the aggregate to gauge the effectiveness, usage, and popularity of our Services, track information for statistical purposes, help diagnose and troubleshoot server malfunctions, analyze trends, track user movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information. We may also use individual information we collect through web logs to send you targeted offers and other communications.
5. HOW WE USE AND SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
How We Process Database Information About You
The Services are designed for networking, which enables Industry Professionals to search for you, view your Profile, and contact you or your Authorized Representative. For example, personal information on your Profile may be visible to casting directors who are searching the database for new Talent or Talent Representatives who are searching for their own Talent accounts. Please remember that any information you disclose on your Profile may be accessed, used, and stored by Industry Professionals, and redistributed to others in any manner. We attempt to limit access to our searchable database to legitimate Industry Professionals, but we do not do background checks of our members and cannot guarantee who might gain access to the Services. Nor do we have control over how those users may use your personal information. Therefore, there is no expectation of privacy when posting, or otherwise participating in the Services. You expressly and voluntarily accept and agree to the processing of the information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If at any time you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, you must cancel your account by following the instructions in Section 7, Choice and Opt-outs. We have the right, but not the obligation, to monitor any activity and content associated with the database or other Services. We reserve the right to take action in connection with any content or action we deem to be inappropriate. Please review our Terms for more information regarding your appropriate use of the Services. We use your personal information for the following key purposes:
- To contact you: Subject to applicable law, we or our third-party service and business providers may send you communications. Such communications are designed to make your experience of our Services more efficient and may include, but are not limited to notifications about our Services and other communications (including important news that could affect your relationship with us) and communications about promotions and our mobile application features. Where required under applicable data privacy laws, we will not send you marketing communications without your prior consent.
- For legal purposes: We may use and share personal information for legal purposes, including financial, regulatory, tax and other legal obligations, and to respond to governmental or regulatory requests or subpoenas or for litigation purposes.
- For our legitimate business interests and those of a third party: We may use your personal information to manage our legal, regulatory, financial and business requirements, including obtaining legal advice, in the course of disputes and litigation, internal and/or regulatory investigations.
- For our business purposes: We may use your personal information to help us efficiently operate the Services, to count and recognize visitors to the website, to enable certain features on the website and for other purposes related to managing our business.
- For other purposes: Subject to applicable law, we may use your personal information for additional purposes in connection with the Services, where you have provided your prior consent.
Information Posted Through the Services
The Services offer you the opportunity to communicate with Industry Professionals for you and Industry Professionals to share Profiles and other content. For example, if an Industry Professional posts an audition video in which you appear on the Services, it may be viewed by users of the Services and forwarded to others outside the Services. We have no control over what others may post or how those users may use the information. Therefore, you should exercise caution and discretion when using our Services or allowing your Authorized Representative to participate on your behalf.
Personalized URL Link to Your Online Profile
Your online Profile is accessible by members and third parties outside of the Services with whom you have shared the link and web search engines, which are outside of our control.
Talent Scout®
You may opt-in to make your Profile visible to agents and managers searching the CN database for Talent to represent (this functionality is known as “Talent Scout®”). Talent Scout® is not available on accounts already linked to a talent agency. To opt-in to Talent Scout®, click on “Representation” under your Profile preferences and select the type(s) of representation you are seeking. To opt-out of Talent Scout®, change your Talent Scout® preference to “Not Seeking Representation.” CN has no control over how those with access to your Profile use your information. This feature’s availability may be dependent upon your subscription plan.
Casting Billboard®
If you sign up for Casting Billboard®, you will be able to submit your Profile to a wide variety of entertainment industry jobs. CN has no control over how those with access to your Profile or other information you post use your information.

Authorized Service Providers
We may share your information with authorized third parties such as our vendors who help with our business operations, including the storage and processing of information for the uses listed in this Privacy Policy and providing customer service (“Authorized Service Providers”). For example, financial information you provide will be disclosed to our payment processor to process credit card transactions. In this case, established third-party bank processing agents and distribution institutions handle these transactions. They receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information to process your order. We may disclose information to third parties to verify the authenticity of any financial transaction involving our company or its affiliates or subsidiaries or to update your billing information. We do not store any credit, debit card or financial or bank account information we receive from our payment processor, except for the last four digits of your credit card, card type and billing address for verification purposes.
Co-branded Areas
Certain areas of our Services may be provided to you in association with third parties who provide us specialized content or offer products or services (“Co-Branded Areas”), which identify the third party. If you elect to interact with or register for the products and/or services provided in these Co-Branded Areas, you either will be providing the information you share to us and/or the third party, or we might be providing your personal information directly to the third party. Therefore, your personal information will be subject to this Privacy Policy as well as the privacy policy and practices of such third party. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we suggest you review the respective privacy policies of those third parties to learn more about their privacy practices.
Sharing with Affiliates and Marketing Partners

We may share your personal information and other information we collect from you with our affiliated companies and marketing partners to send you messages about new products, enhancements, special offers and other promotional messages. You may opt-out of receiving any promotional messages from our marketing partners or us by following the instructions in Section 7, Choice and Opt-Outs.
Connecting with Social Networks
When using our Services in connection with third-party social networking services such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Google+ (each and collectively, a “Social Network”), you may have the option to connect your Account or activity on our Services with your Social Network information and activity. If you choose to do this, we may import information from your Social Network account to your Account Profile on our Services. We only import the information you allow to be exported from the Social Network, which is controlled by your privacy settings on that Social Network (“Permitted Social Network Content”). The authentication of your Social Network login credentials is conducted solely by your Social Network. By connecting your Social Network account with our Services and authorizing us to have access to the information, you agree that we may collect, use, and store Permitted Social Network Content across all our Services and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Any information or content you or other users post when participating in social networks, plug-ins or other services that link to our Services becomes public information and is subject to redistribution by third parties or us. Our Services may also provide the ability for you to make announcements regarding auditions or jobs, or invite people to join the Services via email, SMS, or social media platforms. Many of those communications will list your name and email address in the header of the message. Once you have connected with an individual, your contact information will be shared with that individual.
Aggregate and Analyze Information
We use aggregate information about our users and other non-personal information to analyze the Services and user behavior. We may combine or supplement the information you give us with information we collect from other sources and use it for any purpose disclosed in this Privacy Policy. For example, as permitted by law, we may collect demographic and other information that is publicly available. We also use this information to prepare aggregated reports, which we share with third parties. To learn about our third-party analytics providers’ privacy practices and opt-out options, if any, see Section 4, above.
Transactional Communications with You and Permitted Third Parties
We use your information to contact you and third parties on your behalf per your request or as otherwise permitted in this Privacy Policy, to send you information about your account or the Services, to respond to you, to provide Services requested by you, for the reasons we disclose to you at the time when we collect your information, or to contact you for purposes authorized or required by law. We may from time to time send you information via text or SMS messages about the Services to the phone number you provide. We do not send promotional messages via text or SMS without your express written consent.
Call recordings for training and quality purposes
When communicating with you via telephone, calls may be recorded for training and quality purposes and stored in accordance with our retention policy. We will inform you when a call is being recorded for these purposes.

For example, we may use location information to provide you with location-based services, such as locally based search results, the ability to connect with users of our Services in your area and other personalized content.
Push Notifications
Our application Services may include a function that allows us to use push notifications to send you updates, communications, and other messages about the Services. We do not send promotional messages about other products or services through these push notifications. Typically, you can control push notifications through the settings and/or privacy functions on your mobile device.
Legal Matters; Safety
We may, without your consent, access and disclose your information, any communications sent or received by you, and any other information that we may have about you or your account as may be permitted or required by law or by any government regulatory authority, or to prevent or investigate suspected fraud, violations of our Terms, or activity that appears to us to be illegal or may expose us to legal liability. Any disputes under this Privacy Policy will be resolved in accordance with the binding arbitration process outlined in the Terms. Additionally, we may disclose your information in situations that we believe may involve potential threats to the physical safety of any person or property.

7. CHOICE AND OPT-OUTS

8. IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
Security
CN uses a third party to process its credit card payment transactions. When you place an order for a paid service at CN, your credit card information is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) protocol. We also implement security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. However, no security system is 100% secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of any information provided to us in connection with the information that we collect.

Your European Privacy Rights
The European Data Privacy Laws give you certain additional rights regarding information held about you. Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with the European Data Privacy Laws. If you would like to request a copy of your personal information being held by us, or request that it be deleted or to update and/or correct your personal information or request that we provide a copy to another data controller of your personal information that you have provided to us, please contact us. We will need enough information to ascertain your identity as well as the nature of your request. We will aim to respond to your request within one calendar month of receipt of the request.

Storage and Retention
Personally identifiable and other information that you provide to us in the course of participating in the Services may be gathered and stored in one or more of our corporate databases. We may retain information from canceled accounts to comply with law, prevent fraud, assist with investigations, resolve disputes, analyze or troubleshoot programs, enforce our Terms, or take other actions permitted by law. We may also retain information to prevent re- registration in the event that your account has been suspended or terminated or to create an archival copy of your information, which might be used by us for recordkeeping and internal purposes. We will retain your information for the period of time necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is permitted or required by law. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and applicable legal requirements.
Jurisdiction and Cross-Border Issues
Our Services are available in the United States and intended for use by account holders located in the United States only. We do not represent or warrant that our Services are appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction. Those who choose to access the Services do so on their own initiative and at their own risk, and are responsible for complying with all local laws, rules and regulations. We may limit access to our Services, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction we choose, at any time and in our sole discretion. By using our Services and submitting any personal information, you consent to the transfer of personal information to other countries, which may provide a level of data security different from your country of residence. You are also consenting to the application of United States law in all matters concerning the Services. In accordance with the European Data Privacy Laws, the personal information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the UK/European Economic Area (“EEA”) and processed by our staff or suppliers operating in the United States and India, both of which have less stringent data protection laws compared to the UK/EEA. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfillment of your order, the processing of your payment details, and the provision of support services including photo processing. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing of your personal information. Where appropriate, we use the standard contractual clauses in the form approved by the European Commission to protect your personal information when it is transferred outside the UK/EEA.
No Rights of Third Parties
This Privacy Policy does not create rights enforceable by third parties or require disclosure of any personal information relating to users of the Services.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time.

IF AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE NO LONGER HAS THE AUTHORITY TO ACT ON YOUR BEHALF, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY US TO UNLINK YOUR ACCOUNT AND/OR LINK YOUR ACCOUNT TO ANOTHER AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT TAKE STEPS TO CONFIRM IN ANY WAY THAT AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE HAS OBTAINED YOUR PERMISSION PRIOR TO USING OUR SERVICES. CN HAS NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF TALENT’S AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OR PURPORTED AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE.
Notice About Minors
The Services are directed to a general audience; they are not directed to children under the age of 13. We restrict registration for all our Services to individuals age 18 and above (or the age of majority, as determined by the laws of the state in which you reside, whichever is older). If you are under 18 years old (“Minor”), you must have an Authorized Representative register on your behalf. Only Authorized Representatives may create accounts, maintain Account Profiles, and utilize the Services on behalf of Minors. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18 years of age. If you become aware that anyone under 18 has provided us with personal information, please contact us as set forth in Section 9, Contacting Us. If we obtain actual knowledge that we have received information from someone under 18, we will take steps to block that child from accessing our Services and remove that user’s personal information from our systems. Under applicable European Data Privacy Laws, children ages 13 to 16 may provide valid consent to process their personal information. Where consent is required under such European Data Privacy Laws, you have the obligation to provide to us evidence of such consent or, as required under the European Data Privacy Laws, the authorization of the holder of parental responsibility for the child. We may refuse to process, or to continue to process, the child’s personal information until we receive this evidence of consent or authorization.
Notice to Authorized Representatives
Each agency, management company and/or individual agent and/or manager engaged by the agency or management company to act on behalf of the Talent (“Talent Representative”), and parents or legal guardians of Minors (collectively referred to as “Authorized Representative”), represent that the Authorized Representative is legally authorized to represent the Talent in connection with the Services, have obtained any required consent from the Talent, and will utilize all aspects of the applicable Services on behalf of the Talent in accordance this Privacy Policy. Authorized Representatives agree to stop using the Services immediately when such authority or consent from Talent is no longer effective.
We are not obligated but reserve the right at any time to require evidence of an Authorized Representative’s authority to enter into this Privacy Policy and act on behalf of Talent in connection with the applicable Services, including consent of Talent to share personal information on their behalf. If we become aware that someone other than an Authorized Representative has established, edited or otherwise modified in any way an Account Profile or Profile of a Talent, we will take steps to terminate the account and remove any corresponding information within our control. Authorized Representatives are solely responsible for their acts or omissions in connection with the Services and indemnify CN for any claims or liabilities of any kind for their unauthorized or unlawful acts.

Certain Account Profile information, including some that is required, is automatically pulled from and displayed in your online Profile. Please do not include information on your Profile that you do not wish others to see. Keep in mind that providing additional information to your Account Profile or Profile can create a better user experience because Industry Professionals have more information about you when casting, searching for talent, etc. Please be aware that the information in your Account Profile may be accessed and modified by you and your Authorized Representative.

We may use this data internally or in conjunction with our third-party service providers or platforms to customize your experience and provide offers that may be relevant to you. Depending on the platform you use to access our Services (e.g., iOS, Android, or Windows Phone), you may be able to control whether we collect location data by adjusting the privacy settings on your wireless device.

4. INFORMATION COLLECTED THROUGH TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
Third-Party Tracking and Usage Data
We and our third-party analytics providers may use a variety of tracking technologies that automatically or passively collect certain information described in this Privacy Policy from your computer, mobile, or other access device whenever you visit or interact with the Services or our advertising (“Usage Data”). Usage Data may be collected from the devices you use to access our Services for a variety of reasons including system administration, to prevent fraudulent activity or improve security, to assess the performance of our Services, and to tell us, for example, the website you were visiting before you came to the Services and the website you visit after you leave the Services, whether you have visited the Services before or if you are a new visitor and to help us identify the features in which you may have the greatest interest. Keep in mind that certain features of our Services are available only through the use of tracking technologies, and disabling them may impact the functionality of our Services. We may combine the information collected from you with other information collected through tracking technology. If you are concerned about having cookies on your computer, you can typically set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being set, allowing you to decide whether to accept it. You can also delete cookies from your computer. However, if you choose to block or delete cookies, certain features of our Site may not operate correctly. For more information, see www.allaboutcookies.org.

Interacting with or Viewing Third-Party Content or Advertisements
Our Services may also contain third-party advertising, links, widgets, or similar code linking to external third-party websites, services or products that we do not control. Therefore, they are not subject to this Privacy Policy. We recommend that you check the privacy policies of those third-party sites or services to determine how the proprietors will use your personal information. For example, when you load a page on our Services that has a social plug-in from a third-party site or service such as a Like or Send button, or interact with a third-party ad or link on our Services, you are also loading content from that third-party site. That site may request cookies or use tracking technology. These third parties may use personal information collected from your device to serve you targeted advertising or content. These interactions are subject to the privacy policy of the third-party advertiser. If you would like information about targeted interest-based advertising and your choices not to accept cookies used to track your activities, go to www.optout.aboutads.info or www.networkadvertising.org/choices.

EXAMPLES OF TRACKING TOOLS
Cookies
A cookie is a data file placed on a device when the device is used to visit the Services. We use cookies to collect information for record-keeping purposes and to make it easier to navigate the Services. Cookies are stored on users’ hard drives. We use both “session ID cookies” and “persistent cookies.” Session ID cookies are used to store information while a user is logged into the Services and expire when the user closes his/her browser. Persistent cookies are used to make tasks like logging into the Services easier for returning users by remembering a user’s login information. Persistent cookies stay on a user’s hard drive from one session to the next. Cookies may be used for many purposes including, without limitation, remembering you and your preferences and tracking your visits to our web pages. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a persistent or session ID cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off such cookies through your browser settings. Every browser is a little different, so refer to your browser’s Help menu for the correct way to modify your cookies. However, cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash cookies. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies, please click here. If you choose to disable cookies on your device, some features of the Services may not function properly.
Web Beacons/GIFS
Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as “1×1 GIFs” or “clear GIFs”) may be included in our web pages and messages. Web beacons may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a web page or e-mail can act as a web beacon. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes including, without limitation, to count visitors to our Services, to monitor how users navigate the Services, to count how many sent emails were actually opened, or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.
Embedded Scripts
An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Services, such as the links you click on. The code downloads temporarily onto the device you use to access Services from our web server or third-party service provider. It is active only while you are connected to the Services, and is deactivated or deleted after that.
HTML5
We may use HTML5 in some of our Services, including in our mobile website. HTML5 has browser web storage that does not rely on traditional browser cookies. Like Flash cookies, HTML5 cookies are not stored in a browser “cookies” file and, like Flash cookies, can be used to track users across websites. To our knowledge, there is currently no known way for a user of a mobile device to remove HTML5 tracking and storage.
E-tags, Cache Browsers, and Web Logs
Like most standard website servers, we log IP addresses (a unique number assigned to every computer on the Internet) and device identifier to improve security, analyze trends, and administer the Services. We may track your movement within the Services, the pages from which you were referred, access times, and browser types. This information may include the browser you are using, the Internet address from which you linked to our Services, the operating system of your computer, the unique IP address of the computer or device identifier of the mobile device that you used to access our Services, and usage and browsing habits. We use this information in the aggregate to gauge the effectiveness, usage, and popularity of our Services, track information for statistical purposes, help diagnose and troubleshoot server malfunctions, analyze trends, track user movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information. We may also use individual information we collect through web logs to send you targeted offers and other communications.
5. HOW WE USE AND SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
How We Process Database Information About You
The Services are designed for networking, which enables Industry Professionals to search for you, view your Profile, and contact you or your Authorized Representative. For example, personal information on your Profile may be visible to casting directors who are searching the database for new Talent or Talent Representatives who are searching for their own Talent accounts. Please remember that any information you disclose on your Profile may be accessed, used, and stored by Industry Professionals, and redistributed to others in any manner. We attempt to limit access to our searchable database to legitimate Industry Professionals, but we do not do background checks of our members and cannot guarantee who might gain access to the Services. Nor do we have control over how those users may use your personal information. Therefore, there is no expectation of privacy when posting, or otherwise participating in the Services. You expressly and voluntarily accept and agree to the processing of the information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If at any time you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, you must cancel your account by following the instructions in Section 7, Choice and Opt-outs. We have the right, but not the obligation, to monitor any activity and content associated with the database or other Services. We reserve the right to take action in connection with any content or action we deem to be inappropriate. Please review our Terms for more information regarding your appropriate use of the Services. We use your personal information for the following key purposes:
- To contact you: Subject to applicable law, we or our third-party service and business providers may send you communications. Such communications are designed to make your experience of our Services more efficient and may include, but are not limited to notifications about our Services and other communications (including important news that could affect your relationship with us) and communications about promotions and our mobile application features. Where required under applicable data privacy laws, we will not send you marketing communications without your prior consent.
- For legal purposes: We may use and share personal information for legal purposes, including financial, regulatory, tax and other legal obligations, and to respond to governmental or regulatory requests or subpoenas or for litigation purposes.
- For our legitimate business interests and those of a third party: We may use your personal information to manage our legal, regulatory, financial and business requirements, including obtaining legal advice, in the course of disputes and litigation, internal and/or regulatory investigations.
- For our business purposes: We may use your personal information to help us efficiently operate the Services, to count and recognize visitors to the website, to enable certain features on the website and for other purposes related to managing our business.
- For other purposes: Subject to applicable law, we may use your personal information for additional purposes in connection with the Services, where you have provided your prior consent.
Information Posted Through the Services
The Services offer you the opportunity to communicate with Industry Professionals for you and Industry Professionals to share Profiles and other content. For example, if an Industry Professional posts an audition video in which you appear on the Services, it may be viewed by users of the Services and forwarded to others outside the Services. We have no control over what others may post or how those users may use the information. Therefore, you should exercise caution and discretion when using our Services or allowing your Authorized Representative to participate on your behalf.
Personalized URL Link to Your Online Profile
Your online Profile is accessible by members and third parties outside of the Services with whom you have shared the link and web search engines, which are outside of our control.
Talent Scout®
You may opt-in to make your Profile visible to agents and managers searching the CN database for Talent to represent (this functionality is known as “Talent Scout®”). Talent Scout® is not available on accounts already linked to a talent agency. To opt-in to Talent Scout®, click on “Representation” under your Profile preferences and select the type(s) of representation you are seeking. To opt-out of Talent Scout®, change your Talent Scout® preference to “Not Seeking Representation.” CN has no control over how those with access to your Profile use your information. This feature’s availability may be dependent upon your subscription plan.
Casting Billboard®
If you sign up for Casting Billboard®, you will be able to submit your Profile to a wide variety of entertainment industry jobs.

Authorized Service Providers
We may share your information with authorized third parties such as our vendors who help with our business operations, including the storage and processing of information for the uses listed in this Privacy Policy and providing customer service (“Authorized Service Providers”). For example, financial information you provide will be disclosed to our payment processor to process credit card transactions. In this case, established third-party bank processing agents and distribution institutions handle these transactions. They receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information to process your order. We may disclose information to third parties to verify the authenticity of any financial transaction involving our company or its affiliates or subsidiaries or to update your billing information. We do not store any credit, debit card or financial or bank account information we receive from our payment processor, except for the last four digits of your credit card, card type and billing address for verification purposes.
Co-branded Areas
Certain areas of our Services may be provided to you in association with third parties who provide us specialized content or offer products or services (“Co-Branded Areas”), which identify the third party. If you elect to interact with or register for the products and/or services provided in these Co-Branded Areas, you either will be providing the information you share to us and/or the third party, or we might be providing your personal information directly to the third party. Therefore, your personal information will be subject to this Privacy Policy as well as the privacy policy and practices of such third party. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we suggest you review the respective privacy policies of those third parties to learn more about their privacy practices.
Sharing with Affiliates and Marketing Partners

You may opt-out of receiving any promotional messages from our marketing partners or us by following the instructions in Section 7, Choice and Opt-Outs.
Connecting with Social Networks
When using our Services in connection with third-party social networking services such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Google+ (each and collectively, a “Social Network”), you may have the option to connect your Account or activity on our Services with your Social Network information and activity. If you choose to do this, we may import information from your Social Network account to your Account Profile on our Services. We only import the information you allow to be exported from the Social Network, which is controlled by your privacy settings on that Social Network (“Permitted Social Network Content”). The authentication of your Social Network login credentials is conducted solely by your Social Network. By connecting your Social Network account with our Services and authorizing us to have access to the information, you agree that we may collect, use, and store Permitted Social Network Content across all our Services and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Any information or content you or other users post when participating in social networks, plug-ins or other services that link to our Services becomes public information and is subject to redistribution by third parties or us. Our Services may also provide the ability for you to make announcements regarding auditions or jobs, or invite people to join the Services via email, SMS, or social media platforms. Many of those communications will list your name and email address in the header of the message. Once you have connected with an individual, your contact information will be shared with that individual.
Aggregate and Analyze Information
We use aggregate information about our users and other non-personal information to analyze the Services and user behavior. We may combine or supplement the information you give us with information we collect from other sources and use it for any purpose disclosed in this Privacy Policy. For example, as permitted by law, we may collect demographic and other information that is publicly available. We also use this information to prepare aggregated reports, which we share with third parties. To learn about our third-party analytics providers’ privacy practices and opt-out options, if any, see Section 4, above.
Transactional Communications with You and Permitted Third Parties
We use your information to contact you and third parties on your behalf per your request or as otherwise permitted in this Privacy Policy, to send you information about your account or the Services, to respond to you, to provide Services requested by you, for the reasons we disclose to you at the time when we collect your information, or to contact you for purposes authorized or required by law. We may from time to time send you information via text or SMS messages about the Services to the phone number you provide. We do not send promotional messages via text or SMS without your express written consent.
Call recordings for training and quality purposes
When communicating with you via telephone, calls may be recorded for training and quality purposes and stored in accordance with our retention policy. We will inform you when a call is being recorded for these purposes.

For example, we may use location information to provide you with location-based services, such as locally based search results, the ability to connect with users of our Services in your area and other personalized content.
Push Notifications
Our application Services may include a function that allows us to use push notifications to send you updates, communications, and other messages about the Services. We do not send promotional messages about other products or services through these push notifications. Typically, you can control push notifications through the settings and/or privacy functions on your mobile device.
Legal Matters; Safety
We may, without your consent, access and disclose your information, any communications sent or received by you, and any other information that we may have about you or your account as may be permitted or required by law or by any government regulatory authority, or to prevent or investigate suspected fraud, violations of our Terms, or activity that appears to us to be illegal or may expose us to legal liability. Any disputes under this Privacy Policy will be resolved in accordance with the binding arbitration process outlined in the Terms. Additionally, we may disclose your information in situations that we believe may involve potential threats to the physical safety of any person or property.

Our users’ personal information may be one of the assets sold, transferred, or merged if CN or an affiliated company, brand or business is sold or disposed of as a going concern, whether by merger, sale of assets or otherwise, or in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership. We may also disclose information about our users in connection with a commercial transaction where we, or any one of our businesses, is seeking financing, investment, support or funding.

7. CHOICE AND OPT-OUTS

8. IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
Security
CN uses a third party to process its credit card payment transactions. When you place an order for a paid service at CN, your credit card information is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) protocol. We also implement security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. However, no security system is 100% secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of any information provided to us in connection with the information that we collect.
Your California Privacy Rights

Storage and Retention
Personally identifiable and other information that you provide to us in the course of participating in the Services may be gathered and stored in one or more of our corporate databases. We may retain information from canceled accounts to comply with law, prevent fraud, assist with investigations, resolve disputes, analyze or troubleshoot programs, enforce our Terms, or take other actions permitted by law. We may also retain information to prevent re- registration in the event that your account has been suspended or terminated or to create an archival copy of your information, which might be used by us for recordkeeping and internal purposes. We will retain your information for the period of time necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is permitted or required by law. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and applicable legal requirements.
Jurisdiction and Cross-Border Issues

The Services are directed to a general audience; they are not directed to children under the age of 13. We restrict registration for all our Services to individuals age 18 and above (or the age of majority, as determined by the laws of the state in which you reside, whichever is older). If you are under 18 years old (“Minor”), you must have an Authorized Representative register on your behalf. Only Authorized Representatives may create accounts, maintain Account Profiles, and utilize the Services on behalf of Minors. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18 years of age. If you become aware that anyone under 18 has provided us with personal information, please contact us as set forth in Section 9, Contacting Us. If we obtain actual knowledge that we have received information from someone under 18, we will take steps to block that child from accessing our Services and remove that user’s personal information from our systems. Under applicable European Data Privacy Laws, children ages 13 to 16 may provide valid consent to process their personal information. Where consent is required under such European Data Privacy Laws, you have the obligation to provide to us evidence of such consent or, as required under the European Data Privacy Laws, the authorization of the holder of parental responsibility for the child. We may refuse to process, or to continue to process, the child’s personal information until we receive this evidence of consent or authorization.
Notice to Authorized Representatives
Each agency, management company and/or individual agent and/or manager engaged by the agency or management company to act on behalf of the Talent (“Talent Representative”), and parents or legal guardians of Minors (collectively referred to as “Authorized Representative”), represent that the Authorized Representative is legally authorized to represent the Talent in connection with the Services, have obtained any required consent from the Talent, and will utilize all aspects of the applicable Services on behalf of the Talent in accordance this Privacy Policy. Authorized Representatives agree to stop using the Services immediately when such authority or consent from Talent is no longer effective.
We are not obligated but reserve the right at any time to require evidence of an Authorized Representative’s authority to enter into this Privacy Policy and act on behalf of Talent in connection with the applicable Services, including consent of Talent to share personal information on their behalf. If we become aware that someone other than an Authorized Representative has established, edited or otherwise modified in any way an Account Profile or Profile of a Talent, we will take steps to terminate the account and remove any corresponding information within our control. Authorized Representatives are solely responsible for their acts or omissions in connection with the Services and indemnify CN for any claims or liabilities of any kind for their unauthorized or unlawful acts.

EXAMPLES OF TRACKING TOOLS
Cookies
A cookie is a data file placed on a device when the device is used to visit the Services. We use cookies to collect information for record-keeping purposes and to make it easier to navigate the Services. Cookies are stored on users’ hard drives. We use both “session ID cookies” and “persistent cookies.” Session ID cookies are used to store information while a user is logged into the Services and expire when the user closes his/her browser. Persistent cookies are used to make tasks like logging into the Services easier for returning users by remembering a user’s login information. Persistent cookies stay on a user’s hard drive from one session to the next. Cookies may be used for many purposes including, without limitation, remembering you and your preferences and tracking your visits to our web pages. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a persistent or session ID cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off such cookies through your browser settings. Every browser is a little different, so refer to your browser’s Help menu for the correct way to modify your cookies. However, cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash cookies. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies, please click here. If you choose to disable cookies on your device, some features of the Services may not function properly.
Web Beacons/GIFS
Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as “1×1 GIFs” or “clear GIFs”) may be included in our web pages and messages. Web beacons may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a web page or e-mail can act as a web beacon. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes including, without limitation, to count visitors to our Services, to monitor how users navigate the Services, to count how many sent emails were actually opened, or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.
Embedded Scripts
An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Services, such as the links you click on. The code downloads temporarily onto the device you use to access Services from our web server or third-party service provider. It is active only while you are connected to the Services, and is deactivated or deleted after that.
HTML5
We may use HTML5 in some of our Services, including in our mobile website. HTML5 has browser web storage that does not rely on traditional browser cookies. Like Flash cookies, HTML5 cookies are not stored in a browser “cookies” file and, like Flash cookies, can be used to track users across websites. To our knowledge, there is currently no known way for a user of a mobile device to remove HTML5 tracking and storage.
E-tags, Cache Browsers, and Web Logs
Like most standard website servers, we log IP addresses (a unique number assigned to every computer on the Internet) and device identifier to improve security, analyze trends, and administer the Services. We may track your movement within the Services, the pages from which you were referred, access times, and browser types. This information may include the browser you are using, the Internet address from which you linked to our Services, the operating system of your computer, the unique IP address of the computer or device identifier of the mobile device that you used to access our Services, and usage and browsing habits. We use this information in the aggregate to gauge the effectiveness, usage, and popularity of our Services, track information for statistical purposes, help diagnose and troubleshoot server malfunctions, analyze trends, track user movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information. We may also use individual information we collect through web logs to send you targeted offers and other communications.
5. HOW WE USE AND SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
How We Process Database Information About You
The Services are designed for networking, which enables Industry Professionals to search for you, view your Profile, and contact you or your Authorized Representative. For example, personal information on your Profile may be visible to casting directors who are searching the database for new Talent or Talent Representatives who are searching for their own Talent accounts. Please remember that any information you disclose on your Profile may be accessed, used, and stored by Industry Professionals, and redistributed to others in any manner. We attempt to limit access to our searchable database to legitimate Industry Professionals, but we do not do background checks of our members and cannot guarantee who might gain access to the Services. Nor do we have control over how those users may use your personal information. Therefore, there is no expectation of privacy when posting, or otherwise participating in the Services. You expressly and voluntarily accept and agree to the processing of the information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If at any time you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, you must cancel your account by following the instructions in Section 7, Choice and Opt-outs. We have the right, but not the obligation, to monitor any activity and content associated with the database or other Services. We reserve the right to take action in connection with any content or action we deem to be inappropriate. Please review our Terms for more information regarding your appropriate use of the Services. We use your personal information for the following key purposes:
- To contact you: Subject to applicable law, we or our third-party service and business providers may send you communications. Such communications are designed to make your experience of our Services more efficient and may include, but are not limited to notifications about our Services and other communications (including important news that could affect your relationship with us) and communications about promotions and our mobile application features. Where required under applicable data privacy laws, we will not send you marketing communications without your prior consent.
- For legal purposes: We may use and share personal information for legal purposes, including financial, regulatory, tax and other legal obligations, and to respond to governmental or regulatory requests or subpoenas or for litigation purposes.
- For our legitimate business interests and those of a third party: We may use your personal information to manage our legal, regulatory, financial and business requirements, including obtaining legal advice, in the course of disputes and litigation, internal and/or regulatory investigations.
- For our business purposes: We may use your personal information to help us efficiently operate the Services, to count and recognize visitors to the website, to enable certain features on the website and for other purposes related to managing our business.
- For other purposes: Subject to applicable law, we may use your personal information for additional purposes in connection with the Services, where you have provided your prior consent.
Information Posted Through the Services
The Services offer you the opportunity to communicate with Industry Professionals for you and Industry Professionals to share Profiles and other content. For example, if an Industry Professional posts an audition video in which you appear on the Services, it may be viewed by users of the Services and forwarded to others outside the Services. We have no control over what others may post or how those users may use the information. Therefore, you should exercise caution and discretion when using our Services or allowing your Authorized Representative to participate on your behalf.
Personalized URL Link to Your Online Profile
Your online Profile is accessible by members and third parties outside of the Services with whom you have shared the link and web search engines, which are outside of our control.
Talent Scout®
You may opt-in to make your Profile visible to agents and managers searching the CN database for Talent to represent (this functionality is known as “Talent Scout®”). Talent Scout® is not available on accounts already linked to a talent agency. To opt-in to Talent Scout®, click on “Representation” under your Profile preferences and select the type(s) of representation you are seeking. To opt-out of Talent Scout®, change your Talent Scout® preference to “Not Seeking Representation.” CN has no control over how those with access to your Profile use your information. This feature’s availability may be dependent upon your subscription plan.
Casting Billboard®
If you sign up for Casting Billboard®, you will be able to submit your Profile to a wide variety of entertainment industry jobs. CN has no control over how those with access to your Profile or other information you post use your information.

This feature’s availability may be dependent upon your subscription plan.
Track submissions
Users can track submissions within the ‘Your Auditions’ feature. This allows you to monitor projects and media requests completed. This feature’s availability may be dependent upon your subscription plan.
Authorized Service Providers
We may share your information with authorized third parties such as our vendors who help with our business operations, including the storage and processing of information for the uses listed in this Privacy Policy and providing customer service (“Authorized Service Providers”). For example, financial information you provide will be disclosed to our payment processor to process credit card transactions. In this case, established third-party bank processing agents and distribution institutions handle these transactions. They receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information to process your order. We may disclose information to third parties to verify the authenticity of any financial transaction involving our company or its affiliates or subsidiaries or to update your billing information. We do not store any credit, debit card or financial or bank account information we receive from our payment processor, except for the last four digits of your credit card, card type and billing address for verification purposes.
Co-branded Areas
Certain areas of our Services may be provided to you in association with third parties who provide us specialized content or offer products or services (“Co-Branded Areas”), which identify the third party. If you elect to interact with or register for the products and/or services provided in these Co-Branded Areas, you either will be providing the information you share to us and/or the third party, or we might be providing your personal information directly to the third party. Therefore, your personal information will be subject to this Privacy Policy as well as the privacy policy and practices of such third party. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we suggest you review the respective privacy policies of those third parties to learn more about their privacy practices.
Sharing with Affiliates and Marketing Partners
We will use your personal information for marketing communications with your consent or where we otherwise have legitimate interests to send you these marketing communications. We may share your personal information and other information we collect from you with our affiliated companies and marketing partners to send you messages about new products, enhancements, special offers and other promotional messages. You may opt-out of receiving any promotional messages from our marketing partners or us by following the instructions in Section 7, Choice and Opt-Outs.
Connecting with Social Networks
When using our Services in connection with third-party social networking services such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Google+ (each and collectively, a “Social Network”), you may have the option to connect your Account or activity on our Services with your Social Network information and activity. If you choose to do this, we may import information from your Social Network account to your Account Profile on our Services. We only import the information you allow to be exported from the Social Network, which is controlled by your privacy settings on that Social Network (“Permitted Social Network Content”). The authentication of your Social Network login credentials is conducted solely by your Social Network. By connecting your Social Network account with our Services and authorizing us to have access to the information, you agree that we may collect, use, and store Permitted Social Network Content across all our Services and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Any information or content you or other users post when participating in social networks, plug-ins or other services that link to our Services becomes public information and is subject to redistribution by third parties or us. Our Services may also provide the ability for you to make announcements regarding auditions or jobs, or invite people to join the Services via email, SMS, or social media platforms. Many of those communications will list your name and email address in the header of the message. Once you have connected with an individual, your contact information will be shared with that individual.
Aggregate and Analyze Information
We use aggregate information about our users and other non-personal information to analyze the Services and user behavior. We may combine or supplement the information you give us with information we collect from other sources and use it for any purpose disclosed in this Privacy Policy. For example, as permitted by law, we may collect demographic and other information that is publicly available. We also use this information to prepare aggregated reports, which we share with third parties. To learn about our third-party analytics providers’ privacy practices and opt-out options, if any, see Section 4, above.

We use your information to contact you and third parties on your behalf per your request or as otherwise permitted in this Privacy Policy, to send you information about your account or the Services, to respond to you, to provide Services requested by you, for the reasons we disclose to you at the time when we collect your information, or to contact you for purposes authorized or required by law. We may from time to time send you information via text or SMS messages about the Services to the phone number you provide. We do not send promotional messages via text or SMS without your express written consent.

CN uses a third party to process its credit card payment transactions.

Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of any information provided to us in connection with the information that we collect.

Storage and Retention
Personally identifiable and other information that you provide to us in the course of participating in the Services may be gathered and stored in one or more of our corporate databases. We may retain information from canceled accounts to comply with law, prevent fraud, assist with investigations, resolve disputes, analyze or troubleshoot programs, enforce our Terms, or take other actions permitted by law. We may also retain information to prevent re- registration in the event that your account has been suspended or terminated or to create an archival copy of your information, which might be used by us for recordkeeping and internal purposes. We will retain your information for the period of time necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is permitted or required by law. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and applicable legal requirements.
Jurisdiction and Cross-Border Issues
Our Services are available in the United States and intended for use by account holders located in the United States only.

We may limit access to our Services, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction we choose, at any time and in our sole discretion.

In accordance with the European Data Privacy Laws, the personal information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the UK/European Economic Area (“EEA”) and processed by our staff or suppliers operating in the United States and India, both of which have less stringent data protection laws compared to the UK/EEA. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfillment of your order, the processing of your payment details, and the provision of support services including photo processing. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing of your personal information. Where appropriate, we use the standard contractual clauses in the form approved by the European Commission to protect your personal information when it is transferred outside the UK/EEA.
No Rights of Third Parties
This Privacy Policy does not create rights enforceable by third parties or require disclosure of any personal information relating to users of the Services.

Los Datos de Uso pueden ser recopilados de los dispositivos que usted utiliza para acceder a nuestros Servicios por una variedad de razones, incluyendo la administración del sistema, para prevenir la actividad fraudulenta o mejorar la seguridad, para evaluar el rendimiento de nuestros Servicios, y para decirnos, por ejemplo, el sitio web que usted estaba visitando antes de llegar a los Servicios y el sitio web que usted visita después de salir de los Servicios, si usted ha visitado los Servicios antes o si usted es un nuevo visitante y para ayudarnos a identificar las características en las que usted puede tener el mayor interés. Tenga en cuenta que algunas funciones de nuestros Servicios sólo están disponibles mediante el uso de tecnologías de seguimiento, y su desactivación puede afectar a la funcionalidad de nuestros Servicios. Es posible que combinemos la información recopilada de usted con otra información recopilada a través de la tecnología de seguimiento. Si le preocupa tener cookies en su ordenador, normalmente puede configurar su navegador para que rechace todas las cookies o para que le indique cuándo se está instalando una cookie, permitiéndole decidir si la acepta.

Interacción o visualización de contenidos o anuncios de terceros
Nuestros Servicios también pueden contener publicidad de terceros, enlaces, widgets o códigos similares con vínculos a sitios web, servicios o productos externos de terceros que no controlamos. Por lo tanto, no están sujetos a esta Política de Privacidad. Le recomendamos que verifique las políticas de privacidad de esos sitios o servicios de terceros para determinar cómo utilizarán los propietarios su información personal. Por ejemplo, cuando usted carga una página en nuestros Servicios que tiene un complemento social de un sitio o servicio de terceros, como un botón de “Me gusta” o “Enviar”, o interactúa con un anuncio o enlace de terceros en nuestros Servicios, también está cargando contenido de ese sitio de terceros. Ese sitio puede solicitar cookies o utilizar tecnología de seguimiento.

EJEMPLOS DE HERRAMIENTAS DE SEGUIMIENTO
Cookies
Una cookie es un archivo de datos que se coloca en un dispositivo cuando éste se utiliza para visitar los Servicios. Utilizamos cookies para recopilar información con fines de registro y para facilitar la navegación por los Servicios. Las cookies se almacenan en los discos duros de los usuarios. Utilizamos tanto “cookies de identificación de sesión” como “cookies persistentes”. Las cookies de identificación de sesión se utilizan para almacenar información mientras el usuario está conectado con su usuario a los Servicios y expiran cuando el usuario cierra su navegador. Las cookies persistentes se utilizan para facilitar tareas como el inicio de sesión en los Servicios a los usuarios que regresan, recordando la información de inicio de sesión del usuario. Las cookies persistentes permanecen en el disco duro del usuario de una sesión a otra. Las cookies pueden utilizarse con muchos fines, entre ellos, recordar al usuario y sus preferencias y hacer un seguimiento de sus visitas a nuestras páginas web. Usted puede elegir que su ordenador le avise cada vez que se envíe una cookie persistente o de identificación de sesión, o puede optar por desactivar dichas cookies a través de la configuración de su navegador. Cada navegador es un poco diferente, así que consulte el menú de ayuda de su navegador para saber la forma correcta de modificar sus cookies. Sin embargo, las herramientas de gestión de cookies que proporciona su navegador no eliminarán las cookies de Flash. Para saber cómo gestionar la configuración de privacidad y almacenamiento de las cookies de Flash, haga clic aquí. Si decide desactivar las cookies en su dispositivo, es posible que algunas características de los Servicios no funcionen correctamente.
Web Beacons/GIF
En nuestras páginas web y mensajes pueden incluirse pequeñas imágenes gráficas u otros códigos de programación web denominados web beacons (también conocidos como “GIF 1×1” o “GIF transparente”). Los web beacons pueden ser invisibles para usted, pero cualquier imagen electrónica u otro código de programación web insertado en una página web o en un correo electrónico puede actuar como un web beacon. Los web beacons o tecnologías similares pueden ser utilizados para una serie de propósitos, incluyendo, entre otros, para contar los visitantes a nuestros Servicios, para controlar cómo los usuarios navegan por los Servicios, para contar cuántos correos electrónicos enviados fueron realmente abiertos, o para contar cuántos artículos o enlaces particulares fueron realmente vistos.
Scripts incrustados
Un script incrustado es un código de programación diseñado para recopilar información sobre sus interacciones con los Servicios, como los enlaces en los que usted hace clic. El código se descarga temporalmente en el dispositivo que usted utiliza para acceder a los Servicios desde nuestro servidor web o desde un tercero proveedor de servicios. Sólo está activo mientras usted está conectado a los Servicios, y se desactiva o elimina después.
HTML5
Podemos utilizar HTML5 en algunos de nuestros Servicios, incluido nuestro sitio web para móviles. HTML5 tiene un almacenamiento web en el navegador que no depende de las cookies tradicionales del navegador. Al igual que las cookies Flash, las cookies de HTML5 no se almacenan en un archivo de “cookies” del navegador y, al igual que las cookies de Flash, pueden utilizarse para rastrear a los usuarios en los distintos sitios web. Hasta donde sabemos, actualmente no hay ninguna forma conocida de que un usuario de un dispositivo móvil pueda eliminar el seguimiento y el almacenamiento de HTML5.
Etiquetas electrónicas, caché de navegadores y registros web
Al igual que la mayoría de los servidores de sitios web estándar, registramos las direcciones IP (un número único asignado a cada ordenador en Internet) y el identificador del dispositivo para mejorar la seguridad, analizar tendencias y administrar los Servicios. Podemos rastrear sus movimientos dentro de los Servicios, las páginas desde las que fue derivado, las horas de acceso y los tipos de navegador. Esta información puede incluir el navegador que utiliza, la dirección de Internet desde la que se conectó mediante enlace a nuestros Servicios, el sistema operativo de su ordenador, la dirección IP única del ordenador o el identificador del dispositivo móvil que utilizó para acceder a nuestros Servicios, y los hábitos de uso y navegación. Utilizamos esta información en conjunto para medir la eficacia, el uso y la popularidad de nuestros Servicios, hacer un seguimiento de la información con fines estadísticos, ayudar a diagnosticar y solucionar problemas de funcionamiento del servidor, analizar tendencias, hacer un seguimiento de los movimientos de los usuarios en conjunto y recopilar información demográfica amplia. También podemos utilizar la información individual que recopilamos a través de los registros web para enviarle ofertas dirigidas y otras comunicaciones.
5. CÓMO UTILIZAMOS Y COMPARTIMOS SU INFORMACIÓN
Cómo procesamos la información de la base de datos sobre usted
Los Servicios están diseñados para el desarrollo de redes de contactos, lo que permite a los Profesionales de la Industria buscarle, ver su Perfil y ponerse en contacto con usted o con su Representante Autorizado. Por ejemplo, la información personal de su Perfil puede ser visible para los directores de casting que busquen en la base de datos nuevos Talentos o para los Representantes de Talentos que busquen sus propias cuentas de Talentos. Por favor, recuerde que cualquier información que revele en su Perfil puede ser consultada, utilizada y almacenada por los Profesionales de la Industria, y redistribuida a otros de cualquier manera. Intentamos limitar el acceso a nuestra base de datos con función de búsquedas a los Profesionales de la Industria legítimos, pero no realizamos comprobaciones de los antecedentes de nuestros miembros y no podemos garantizar quién puede acceder a los Servicios. Tampoco tenemos control sobre el uso que esos usuarios puedan hacer de la información personal de usted. Por lo tanto, no existe ninguna expectativa de privacidad al publicar o participar de algún otro modo en los Servicios. Usted acepta y está de acuerdo expresa y voluntariamente con el procesamiento de la información tal y como se establece en esta Política de Privacidad. Si en algún momento no está de acuerdo con los términos de esta Política de Privacidad, debe cancelar su cuenta siguiendo las instrucciones de la Sección 7, Elección y exclusiones voluntarias.Tenemos el derecho, pero no la obligación, de supervisar cualquier actividad y contenido asociado a la base de datos u otros Servicios.

Dichas comunicaciones están diseñadas para hacer que su experiencia con nuestros Servicios sea más eficiente y pueden incluir, pero no se limitan a notificaciones sobre nuestros Servicios y otras comunicaciones (incluyendo noticias importantes que podrían incidir en su relación con nosotros) y comunicaciones sobre promociones y características de nuestra aplicación móvil. Cuando así lo exija la legislación aplicable en materia de privacidad de datos, no le enviaremos comunicaciones de marketing sin su consentimiento previo.

Información publicada a través de los Servicios
Los Servicios le ofrecen la oportunidad de comunicarse con Profesionales de la Industria para que usted y los Profesionales de la Industria compartan Perfil y otros contenidos. Por ejemplo, si un Profesional de la Industria publica el vídeo de una audición en el que usted aparece en los Servicios, éste puede ser visto por los usuarios de los Servicios y reenviado a otros fuera de los Servicios. No tenemos ningún control sobre lo que otros pueden publicar o sobre el uso que esos usuarios pueden hacer de la información. Por lo tanto, debe tener precaución y discreción cuando utilice nuestros Servicios o permita que su Representante Autorizado participe en su nombre.
Enlace URL personalizado a su Perfil en línea
Su Perfil en línea es accesible por los miembros y terceros fuera de los Servicios con los que haya compartido el enlace y los motores de búsqueda de la web, que están fuera de nuestro control.
Talent Scout®
Usted puede optar por hacer que su Perfil sea visible para los agentes y mánagers que buscan en la base de datos de CN talentos para representar (esta funcionalidad se conoce como “Talent Scout®”). Talent Scout® no está disponible en las cuentas ya vinculadas a una agencia de talentos. Para participar en Talent Scout®, haga clic en “Representación” en las preferencias de su Perfil y seleccione el/los tipo/s de representación que busca.

Proveedores de Servicios Autorizados
Podemos compartir su información con terceros autorizados, como nuestros proveedores, que ayudan a nuestras operaciones comerciales, incluido el almacenamiento y el procesamiento de la información para los usos enumerados en esta Política de Privacidad y la prestación de servicios al cliente (“Proveedores de Servicios Autorizados”). Por ejemplo, la información financiera que usted proporcione se revelará a nuestro procesador de pagos para procesar las transacciones con tarjeta de crédito. En este caso, los terceros agentes de procesamiento bancario y las instituciones de distribución establecidos gestionan estas transacciones. Ellos reciben la información necesaria para verificar y autorizar su tarjeta de crédito u otra información de pago para procesar su pedido. Podemos revelar información a terceros para verificar la autenticidad de cualquier transacción financiera en la que participe nuestra empresa o sus afiliadas o subsidiarias, o para actualizar su información de facturación. No almacenamos ninguna información de tarjetas de crédito o débito ni información financiera o de cuentas bancarias que recibimos de nuestro procesador de pagos, excepto los cuatro últimos dígitos de su tarjeta de crédito, el tipo de tarjeta y la dirección de facturación para fines de verificación.
Ámbitos de Marcas Compartidas
Ciertos ámbitos de nuestros Servicios pueden ser proporcionadas a usted en asociación con terceros que nos proporcionan contenido especializado u ofrecen productos o servicios (“Ámbitos de Marcas Compartidas”), que identifican al tercero. Si usted decide interactuar o registrarse en los productos y/o servicios proporcionados en estos Ámbitos de Marcas Compartidas, usted estará proporcionando la información que comparte a nosotros y/o al tercero, o bien nosotros podríamos estar proporcionando su información personal directamente al tercero. Por lo tanto, su información personal estará sujeta a esta Política de Privacidad, así como a la política y prácticas de privacidad de dicho tercero. No somos responsables de las prácticas de privacidad de esos terceros, y le sugerimos que revise las respectivas políticas de privacidad de esos terceros para saber más sobre sus prácticas de privacidad.
Compartir con afiliadas y socios de marketing
Utilizaremos su información personal para comunicaciones de marketing con su consentimiento o cuando de algún otro modo tengamos intereses legítimos para enviarle estas comunicaciones de marketing.

Puede optar por no recibir ningún mensaje promocional de nuestros socios de marketing o de nosotros siguiendo las instrucciones de la Sección 7, Elección y exclusiones voluntarias.
Conexión con redes sociales
Cuando utilice nuestros Servicios en forma vinculada a servicios de redes sociales de terceros como Facebook, Twitter, Instagram o Google+ (denominados cada uno de ellos y colectivamente, una “Red Social”), usted puede tener la opción de conectar su Cuenta o actividad en nuestros Servicios con la información y actividad de su Red Social. Si decide hacerlo, podemos importar información de su cuenta de la Red Social a su Perfil de Cuenta en nuestros Servicios. Sólo importamos la información que usted permite exportar desde la Red Social, lo cual está controlado por su configuración de privacidad en esa Red Social (“Contenido de Red Social Permitido”). La autenticación de sus credenciales de inicio de sesión en la Red Social la realiza exclusivamente su Red Social. Al conectar su cuenta de Red Social con nuestros Servicios y autorizarnos a tener acceso a la información, usted acepta que podamos recopilar, utilizar y almacenar el Contenido de Red Social Permitido en todos nuestros Servicios y de acuerdo con esta Política de Privacidad. Cualquier información o contenido que usted u otros usuarios publiquen al participar en redes sociales, complementos u otros servicios con vínculos a nuestros Servicios se convierte en información pública y está sujeto a redistribución por parte de terceros o de nosotros. Nuestros Servicios también pueden ofrecerle a usted la posibilidad de hacer anuncios sobre audiciones o trabajos, o invitar a la gente a unirse a los Servicios a través de correo electrónico, SMS o plataformas de redes sociales. Muchas de esas comunicaciones incluirán su nombre y dirección de correo electrónico en el encabezamiento del mensaje. Una vez que se haya conectado con una persona, su información de contacto será compartida con esa persona.
Información agregada y analizada
Utilizamos información agregada sobre nuestros usuarios y otra información no personal para analizar los Servicios y el comportamiento de los usuarios. Podemos combinar o complementar la información que usted nos proporciona con la información que recopilamos de otras fuentes y utilizarla para cualquier propósito que se indique en esta Política de Privacidad. Por ejemplo, según lo permitido por la ley, podemos recopilar información demográfica y de otro tipo que esté disponible públicamente. También utilizamos esta información para preparar informes agregados, que compartimos con terceros. Para conocer las prácticas de privacidad de nuestros terceros proveedores de análisis y las opciones de exclusión voluntaria, si las hubiera, consulte la Sección 4, más arriba.
Comunicaciones transaccionales con usted y con terceros permitidos

Asuntos legales; seguridad
Podemos, sin su consentimiento, acceder y revelar su información, cualquier comunicación enviada o recibida por usted, y cualquier otra información que podamos tener sobre usted o su cuenta, según lo permita o requiera la ley o cualquier autoridad reguladora gubernamental, o para prevenir o investigar sospechas de fraude, violaciones de nuestros Términos, o actividades que nos parezcan ilegales o que puedan exponernos a responsabilidad legal. Cualquier disputa bajo esta Política de Privacidad se resolverá de acuerdo con el proceso de arbitraje vinculante descrito en los Términos. Además, podemos revelar su información en situaciones que creamos que pueden implicar amenazas potenciales a la seguridad física de cualquier persona o propiedad.
Venta o transferencia de negocios o activos
La información personal de nuestros usuarios puede ser uno de los activos vendidos, transferidos o fusionados si CN o una empresa, marca o negocio afiliado es vendido o enajenado como negocio en marcha, ya sea por fusión, venta de activos o de otro modo, o en caso de insolvencia, quiebra, concurso de acreedores o administración judicial.

8. ACLARACIONES IMPORTANTES
Seguridad
CN utiliza a un tercero para procesar sus transacciones de pago con tarjeta de crédito. Cuando usted realiza un pedido de un servicio de pago en CN, los datos de su tarjeta de crédito están protegidos mediante el uso de encriptación, como el protocolo Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”). También aplicamos medidas de seguridad para proteger contra la pérdida, el uso indebido y la alteración de la información bajo nuestro control. Sin embargo, ningún sistema de seguridad es 100% seguro. Por lo tanto, no podemos garantizar la seguridad de cualquier información que se nos proporcione en relación con la información que recopilamos.

La información de identificación personal y de otro tipo que usted nos proporcione en el curso de su participación en los Servicios puede ser recogida y almacenada en una o más de nuestras bases de datos corporativas.

También podemos retener la información para evitar que se vuelva a registrar en caso de que su cuenta haya sido suspendida o dada de baja o para crear una copia de archivo de su información, que podría ser utilizada por nosotros para el mantenimiento de registros y con fines internos. Retendremos su información durante el periodo de tiempo necesario para cumplir con los fines descritos en esta Política de Privacidad, a menos que la ley permita o exija un periodo de retención más largo. Para determinar el período de retención adecuado para la información personal, tenemos en cuenta la cantidad, la naturaleza y la sensibilidad de la información personal, el riesgo potencial de daño por el uso o la divulgación no autorizados de su información personal, los fines para los que procesamos su información personal y si podemos lograr esos fines por otros medios, y los requisitos legales aplicables.

Notice About Minors
The Services are directed to a general audience; they are not directed to children under the age of 13. We restrict registration for all our Services to individuals age 18 and above (or the age of majority, as determined by the laws of the state in which you reside, whichever is older). If you are under 18 years old (“Minor”), you must have an Authorized Representative register on your behalf. Only Authorized Representatives may create accounts, maintain Account Profiles, and utilize the Services on behalf of Minors. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18 years of age. If you become aware that anyone under 18 has provided us with personal information, please contact us as set forth in Section 9, Contacting Us. If we obtain actual knowledge that we have received information from someone under 18, we will take steps to block that child from accessing our Services and remove that user’s personal information from our systems. Under applicable European Data Privacy Laws, children ages 13 to 16 may provide valid consent to process their personal information. Where consent is required under such European Data Privacy Laws, you have the obligation to provide to us evidence of such consent or, as required under the European Data Privacy Laws, the authorization of the holder of parental responsibility for the child. We may refuse to process, or to continue to process, the child’s personal information until we receive this evidence of consent or authorization.
Notice to Authorized Representatives
Each agency, management company and/or individual agent and/or manager engaged by the agency or management company to act on behalf of the Talent (“Talent Representative”), and parents or legal guardians of Minors (collectively referred to as “Authorized Representative”), represent that the Authorized Representative is legally authorized to represent the Talent in connection with the Services, have obtained any required consent from the Talent, and will utilize all aspects of the applicable Services on behalf of the Talent in accordance this Privacy Policy. Authorized Representatives agree to stop using the Services immediately when such authority or consent from Talent is no longer effective.
We are not obligated but reserve the right at any time to require evidence of an Authorized Representative’s authority to enter into this Privacy Policy and act on behalf of Talent in connection with the applicable Services, including consent of Talent to share personal information on their behalf. If we become aware that someone other than an Authorized Representative has established, edited or otherwise modified in any way an Account Profile or Profile of a Talent, we will take steps to terminate the account and remove any corresponding information within our control. Authorized Representatives are solely responsible for their acts or omissions in connection with the Services and indemnify CN for any claims or liabilities of any kind for their unauthorized or unlawful acts.

EXAMPLES OF TRACKING TOOLS
Cookies
A cookie is a data file placed on a device when the device is used to visit the Services. We use cookies to collect information for record-keeping purposes and to make it easier to navigate the Services. Cookies are stored on users’ hard drives. We use both “session ID cookies” and “persistent cookies.” Session ID cookies are used to store information while a user is logged into the Services and expire when the user closes his/her browser. Persistent cookies are used to make tasks like logging into the Services easier for returning users by remembering a user’s login information. Persistent cookies stay on a user’s hard drive from one session to the next. Cookies may be used for many purposes including, without limitation, remembering you and your preferences and tracking your visits to our web pages. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a persistent or session ID cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off such cookies through your browser settings. Every browser is a little different, so refer to your browser’s Help menu for the correct way to modify your cookies. However, cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash cookies. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies, please click here. If you choose to disable cookies on your device, some features of the Services may not function properly.
Web Beacons/GIFS
Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as “1×1 GIFs” or “clear GIFs”) may be included in our web pages and messages. Web beacons may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a web page or e-mail can act as a web beacon. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes including, without limitation, to count visitors to our Services, to monitor how users navigate the Services, to count how many sent emails were actually opened, or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.
Embedded Scripts
An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Services, such as the links you click on. The code downloads temporarily onto the device you use to access Services from our web server or third-party service provider. It is active only while you are connected to the Services, and is deactivated or deleted after that.
HTML5
We may use HTML5 in some of our Services, including in our mobile website. HTML5 has browser web storage that does not rely on traditional browser cookies. Like Flash cookies, HTML5 cookies are not stored in a browser “cookies” file and, like Flash cookies, can be used to track users across websites. To our knowledge, there is currently no known way for a user of a mobile device to remove HTML5 tracking and storage.
E-tags, Cache Browsers, and Web Logs
Like most standard website servers, we log IP addresses (a unique number assigned to every computer on the Internet) and device identifier to improve security, analyze trends, and administer the Services. We may track your movement within the Services, the pages from which you were referred, access times, and browser types. This information may include the browser you are using, the Internet address from which you linked to our Services, the operating system of your computer, the unique IP address of the computer or device identifier of the mobile device that you used to access our Services, and usage and browsing habits. We use this information in the aggregate to gauge the effectiveness, usage, and popularity of our Services, track information for statistical purposes, help diagnose and troubleshoot server malfunctions, analyze trends, track user movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information. We may also use individual information we collect through web logs to send you targeted offers and other communications.
5. HOW WE USE AND SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
How We Process Database Information About You
The Services are designed for networking, which enables Industry Professionals to search for you, view your Profile, and contact you or your Authorized Representative. For example, personal information on your Profile may be visible to casting directors who are searching the database for new Talent or Talent Representatives who are searching for their own Talent accounts. Please remember that any information you disclose on your Profile may be accessed, used, and stored by Industry Professionals, and redistributed to others in any manner. We attempt to limit access to our searchable database to legitimate Industry Professionals, but we do not do background checks of our members and cannot guarantee who might gain access to the Services. Nor do we have control over how those users may use your personal information. Therefore, there is no expectation of privacy when posting, or otherwise participating in the Services. You expressly and voluntarily accept and agree to the processing of the information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If at any time you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, you must cancel your account by following the instructions in Section 7, Choice and Opt-outs. We have the right, but not the obligation, to monitor any activity and content associated with the database or other Services. We reserve the right to take action in connection with any content or action we deem to be inappropriate. Please review our Terms for more information regarding your appropriate use of the Services. We use your personal information for the following key purposes:
- To contact you: Subject to applicable law, we or our third-party service and business providers may send you communications. Such communications are designed to make your experience of our Services more efficient and may include, but are not limited to notifications about our Services and other communications (including important news that could affect your relationship with us) and communications about promotions and our mobile application features. Where required under applicable data privacy laws, we will not send you marketing communications without your prior consent.
- For legal purposes: We may use and share personal information for legal purposes, including financial, regulatory, tax and other legal obligations, and to respond to governmental or regulatory requests or subpoenas or for litigation purposes.
- For our legitimate business interests and those of a third party: We may use your personal information to manage our legal, regulatory, financial and business requirements, including obtaining legal advice, in the course of disputes and litigation, internal and/or regulatory investigations.
- For our business purposes: We may use your personal information to help us efficiently operate the Services, to count and recognize visitors to the website, to enable certain features on the website and for other purposes related to managing our business.
- For other purposes: Subject to applicable law, we may use your personal information for additional purposes in connection with the Services, where you have provided your prior consent.
Information Posted Through the Services
The Services offer you the opportunity to communicate with Industry Professionals for you and Industry Professionals to share Profiles and other content. For example, if an Industry Professional posts an audition video in which you appear on the Services, it may be viewed by users of the Services and forwarded to others outside the Services. We have no control over what others may post or how those users may use the information. Therefore, you should exercise caution and discretion when using our Services or allowing your Authorized Representative to participate on your behalf.
Personalized URL Link to Your Online Profile
Your online Profile is accessible by members and third parties outside of the Services with whom you have shared the link and web search engines, which are outside of our control.

For example, financial information you provide will be disclosed to our payment processor to process credit card transactions. In this case, established third-party bank processing agents and distribution institutions handle these transactions. They receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information to process your order. We may disclose information to third parties to verify the authenticity of any financial transaction involving our company or its affiliates or subsidiaries or to update your billing information. We do not store any credit, debit card or financial or bank account information we receive from our payment processor, except for the last four digits of your credit card, card type and billing address for verification purposes.
Co-branded Areas
Certain areas of our Services may be provided to you in association with third parties who provide us specialized content or offer products or services (“Co-Branded Areas”), which identify the third party. If you elect to interact with or register for the products and/or services provided in these Co-Branded Areas, you either will be providing the information you share to us and/or the third party, or we might be providing your personal information directly to the third party. Therefore, your personal information will be subject to this Privacy Policy as well as the privacy policy and practices of such third party.

Connecting with Social Networks
When using our Services in connection with third-party social networking services such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Google+ (each and collectively, a “Social Network”), you may have the option to connect your Account or activity on our Services with your Social Network information and activity. If you choose to do this, we may import information from your Social Network account to your Account Profile on our Services. We only import the information you allow to be exported from the Social Network, which is controlled by your privacy settings on that Social Network (“Permitted Social Network Content”). The authentication of your Social Network login credentials is conducted solely by your Social Network. By connecting your Social Network account with our Services and authorizing us to have access to the information, you agree that we may collect, use, and store Permitted Social Network Content across all our Services and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Any information or content you or other users post when participating in social networks, plug-ins or other services that link to our Services becomes public information and is subject to redistribution by third parties or us. Our Services may also provide the ability for you to make announcements regarding auditions or jobs, or invite people to join the Services via email, SMS, or social media platforms. Many of those communications will list your name and email address in the header of the message. Once you have connected with an individual, your contact information will be shared with that individual.
Aggregate and Analyze Information
We use aggregate information about our users and other non-personal information to analyze the Services and user behavior.

CN uses a third party to process its credit card payment transactions.

Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of any information provided to us in connection with the information that we collect.

Your European Privacy Rights
The European Data Privacy Laws give you certain additional rights regarding information held about you. Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with the European Data Privacy Laws. If you would like to request a copy of your personal information being held by us, or request that it be deleted or to update and/or correct your personal information or request that we provide a copy to another data controller of your personal information that you have provided to us, please contact us. We will need enough information to ascertain your identity as well as the nature of your request. We will aim to respond to your request within one calendar month of receipt of the request. Where we were unable to do so within the calendar month, we will notify you of the soonest practicable time within which we can respond to your request. There are certain exemptions and restrictions of these rights under the European Data Privacy Laws that enable personal information to be retained, processed or withheld from access, and we will inform you of these if applicable.
Storage and Retention
Personally identifiable and other information that you provide to us in the course of participating in the Services may be gathered and stored in one or more of our corporate databases. We may retain information from canceled accounts to comply with law, prevent fraud, assist with investigations, resolve disputes, analyze or troubleshoot programs, enforce our Terms, or take other actions permitted by law. We may also retain information to prevent re- registration in the event that your account has been suspended or terminated or to create an archival copy of your information, which might be used by us for recordkeeping and internal purposes. We will retain your information for the period of time necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is permitted or required by law. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and applicable legal requirements.
Jurisdiction and Cross-Border Issues
Our Services are available in the United States and intended for use by account holders located in the United States only. We do not represent or warrant that our Services are appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction. Those who choose to access the Services do so on their own initiative and at their own risk, and are responsible for complying with all local laws, rules and regulations. We may limit access to our Services, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction we choose, at any time and in our sole discretion. By using our Services and submitting any personal information, you consent to the transfer of personal information to other countries, which may provide a level of data security different from your country of residence. You are also consenting to the application of United States law in all matters concerning the Services. In accordance with the European Data Privacy Laws, the personal information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the UK/European Economic Area (“EEA”) and processed by our staff or suppliers operating in the United States and India, both of which have less stringent data protection laws compared to the UK/EEA. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfillment of your order, the processing of your payment details, and the provision of support services including photo processing. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing of your personal information. Where appropriate, we use the standard contractual clauses in the form approved by the European Commission to protect your personal information when it is transferred outside the UK/EEA.
No Rights of Third Parties
This Privacy Policy does not create rights enforceable by third parties or require disclosure of any personal information relating to users of the Services.

Only Authorized Representatives may create accounts, maintain Account Profiles, and utilize the Services on behalf of Minors. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18 years of age. If you become aware that anyone under 18 has provided us with personal information, please contact us as set forth in Section 9, Contacting Us.

EXAMPLES OF TRACKING TOOLS
Cookies
A cookie is a data file placed on a device when the device is used to visit the Services. We use cookies to collect information for record-keeping purposes and to make it easier to navigate the Services. Cookies are stored on users’ hard drives. We use both “session ID cookies” and “persistent cookies.” Session ID cookies are used to store information while a user is logged into the Services and expire when the user closes his/her browser. Persistent cookies are used to make tasks like logging into the Services easier for returning users by remembering a user’s login information. Persistent cookies stay on a user’s hard drive from one session to the next. Cookies may be used for many purposes including, without limitation, remembering you and your preferences and tracking your visits to our web pages. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a persistent or session ID cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off such cookies through your browser settings. Every browser is a little different, so refer to your browser’s Help menu for the correct way to modify your cookies. However, cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash cookies. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies, please click here. If you choose to disable cookies on your device, some features of the Services may not function properly.
Web Beacons/GIFS
Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as “1×1 GIFs” or “clear GIFs”) may be included in our web pages and messages. Web beacons may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a web page or e-mail can act as a web beacon. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes including, without limitation, to count visitors to our Services, to monitor how users navigate the Services, to count how many sent emails were actually opened, or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.
Embedded Scripts
An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Services, such as the links you click on. The code downloads temporarily onto the device you use to access Services from our web server or third-party service provider. It is active only while you are connected to the Services, and is deactivated or deleted after that.

We may use HTML5 in some of our Services, including in our mobile website. HTML5 has browser web storage that does not rely on traditional browser cookies. Like Flash cookies, HTML5 cookies are not stored in a browser “cookies” file and, like Flash cookies, can be used to track users across websites. To our knowledge, there is currently no known way for a user of a mobile device to remove HTML5 tracking and storage.
E-tags, Cache Browsers, and Web Logs
Like most standard website servers, we log IP addresses (a unique number assigned to every computer on the Internet) and device identifier to improve security, analyze trends, and administer the Services.

This information may include the browser you are using, the Internet address from which you linked to our Services, the operating system of your computer, the unique IP address of the computer or device identifier of the mobile device that you used to access our Services, and usage and browsing habits. We use this information in the aggregate to gauge the effectiveness, usage, and popularity of our Services, track information for statistical purposes, help diagnose and troubleshoot server malfunctions, analyze trends, track user movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information.

5. HOW WE USE AND SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
How We Process Database Information About You
The Services are designed for networking, which enables Industry Professionals to search for you, view your Profile, and contact you or your Authorized Representative.

Please remember that any information you disclose on your Profile may be accessed, used, and stored by Industry Professionals, and redistributed to others in any manner. We attempt to limit access to our searchable database to legitimate Industry Professionals, but we do not do background checks of our members and cannot guarantee who might gain access to the Services. Nor do we have control over how those users may use your personal information. Therefore, there is no expectation of privacy when posting, or otherwise participating in the Services.

Information Posted Through the Services
The Services offer you the opportunity to communicate with Industry Professionals for you and Industry Professionals to share Profiles and other content. For example, if an Industry Professional posts an audition video in which you appear on the Services, it may be viewed by users of the Services and forwarded to others outside the Services. We have no control over what others may post or how those users may use the information. Therefore, you should exercise caution and discretion when using our Services or allowing your Authorized Representative to participate on your behalf.

Security
CN uses a third party to process its credit card payment transactions. When you place an order for a paid service at CN, your credit card information is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) protocol. We also implement security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. However, no security system is 100% secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of any information provided to us in connection with the information that we collect.

The European Data Privacy Laws give you certain additional rights regarding information held about you. Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with the European Data Privacy Laws. If you would like to request a copy of your personal information being held by us, or request that it be deleted or to update and/or correct your personal information or request that we provide a copy to another data controller of your personal information that you have provided to us, please contact us. We will need enough information to ascertain your identity as well as the nature of your request. We will aim to respond to your request within one calendar month of receipt of the request.

Storage and Retention
Personally identifiable and other information that you provide to us in the course of participating in the Services may be gathered and stored in one or more of our corporate databases. We may retain information from canceled accounts to comply with law, prevent fraud, assist with investigations, resolve disputes, analyze or troubleshoot programs, enforce our Terms, or take other actions permitted by law. We may also retain information to prevent re- registration in the event that your account has been suspended or terminated or to create an archival copy of your information, which might be used by us for recordkeeping and internal purposes. We will retain your information for the period of time necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is permitted or required by law. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and applicable legal requirements.
Jurisdiction and Cross-Border Issues
Our Services are available in the United States and intended for use by account holders located in the United States only.

We may limit access to our Services, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction we choose, at any time and in our sole discretion. By using our Services and submitting any personal information, you consent to the transfer of personal information to other countries, which may provide a level of data security different from your country of residence. You are also consenting to the application of United States law in all matters concerning the Services. In accordance with the European Data Privacy Laws, the personal information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the UK/European Economic Area (“EEA”) and processed by our staff or suppliers operating in the United States and India, both of which have less stringent data protection laws compared to the UK/EEA. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfillment of your order, the processing of your payment details, and the provision of support services including photo processing. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing of your personal information. Where appropriate, we use the standard contractual clauses in the form approved by the European Commission to protect your personal information when it is transferred outside the UK/EEA.
