PRIVACY POLICY

Studio Muiz Limited ("Studio Muiz", "we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all individuals who engage with our work. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal data across all areas of our business, including but not limited to theatre, film, television, casting, documentaries, podcasts, digital content, social media, websites, events, and professional communications.

This policy is intended to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Studio Muiz Limited is the data controller for the purposes of data protection law. Any questions, requests, or concerns regarding personal data should be directed to datacontroller@studiomuiz.com.

We may collect and process personal data provided directly by you when you contact us, submit materials, engage with our casting processes, sign up to mailing lists, attend events, collaborate on projects, or interact with us via email, our website, social media platforms, or third-party casting portals. This data may include names, contact details, agent information, CVs, headshots, showreels, self-tapes, audition materials, professional correspondence, and any other information you choose to share with us.

We may also collect personal data when you sign up to our mailing lists, complete contact forms, request updates, or otherwise opt in to receive communications from us. This may include your name, email address, professional role, and areas of interest. Mailing list and contact form data is used solely for the purposes of communication, updates, marketing our work, and maintaining professional relationships, and is not shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

We may also collect technical and usage data when you visit our website or engage with our digital platforms, including IP address, device information, browser type, pages visited, and interactions with our content. This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies and is used to understand how our platforms are used and to improve our services.

Personal data is processed for legitimate business and creative purposes, including managing casting and recruitment processes, developing and producing creative projects, communicating with contributors and collaborators, providing feedback where requested, promoting our work, administering events, maintaining professional relationships, complying with legal obligations, and operating our business effectively.

We only process personal data where we have a lawful basis to do so. This may include your consent, where you have provided it; where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or steps taken prior to entering into a contract; where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests as a creative production company, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights; or where processing is required to comply with a legal obligation.

Casting materials and creative submissions are treated as confidential. Audition tapes, scripts, and related materials are used solely for casting, development, and internal decision-making purposes. Such materials may be shared internally within Studio Muiz Limited and, where necessary, with trusted collaborators involved in the relevant project. We do not sell personal data and do not share it with third parties for marketing purposes.

Personal data is stored securely using appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. Access is restricted to individuals who require the data for legitimate business purposes. Data may be stored on secure cloud-based systems, password-protected devices, and encrypted services.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Mailing list subscriptions, contact form enquiries, casting materials, and creative submissions may be retained on file for ongoing communication and future project consideration unless you request that your data be deleted. Professional correspondence and operational records may be retained where necessary for business, contractual, or legal reasons.

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate data, request erasure of your data, restrict or object to processing, request data portability, and withdraw consent where consent is the lawful basis for processing. Requests should be made in writing to datacontroller@studiomuiz.com.

If you are dissatisfied with how we handle your personal data, you have the right to raise a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office. We would, however, welcome the opportunity to address any concerns directly in the first instance.

Our website and communications may contain links to third-party platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The most current version will always be available on our website.
