Casting Privacy Notice

1. What is the purpose and scope of this document?

This Casting Privacy Notice (“Notice”) describes how we collect, use and disclose your personal information (as described in section 3 below) while casting for our film, television, digital and other productions (“Productions”).  

This Notice applies to individuals whose personal information we receive as part of the casting process for any of our Productions, across all NBCUniversal brands.

In this Notice, we will use the terms “NBCUniversal”, “we”, “us” and “our” to refer to the NBCUniversal brand that is producing the show or other content that you would like us to consider you for.   

It is important that you read this Notice, together with any other privacy notice that we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal information about you, so that you are aware of how and why we are using such information. This Notice does not apply when you interact with us as a consumer.  In that situation, our NBCUniversal Global Privacy Policy applies.

We may update this Notice at any time.

This Notice does not form part of any contract with you.

2. How do we collect your personal information?

We collect information about you through our casting process, either directly from you or from your agent, or from third parties such as casting agencies, talent agencies or co-production companies.

If we engage you for a Production, we will collect additional personal information. If you are a California resident, please see the NBCUniversal California Workforce Privacy Notice.

3. What information do we collect, and why?

Please see below for the kinds of information we may hold about you and the purposes for which we use them.

• Other information provided by you or your representatives as part of the casting process, which (as permitted by law) may include your experience and personal characteristics, so that we may consider your suitability for a role.
• Photos and videos of you that you submit to us or that we take during the casting process, so we can consider whether you are suitable for a role.
• Your age or age range (if required or permitted by law), for example so we can meet our obligations under child labor laws.
