We are committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who visit our website and submit information for consideration, including models, talent, and representatives (“you” or “your”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, and safeguard limited personal information submitted through our website or captured during your interactions with us.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the minimum information necessary to operate our website, optimize user experience, and review and respond to talent submissions.

  • Information Collected Automatically (Consent to Real-Time Monitoring): When you visit, browse, or interact with our website or booking platforms, you acknowledge and explicitly consent to the real-time monitoring, recording, transcription, interception, and tracking of your interactions. This automated data collection may capture your IP address, browsing paths, pages viewed, mouse clicks, scrolling patterns, keystrokes, form field entries, and any text or data transmitted to or through the website.

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as social security numbers, financial information, or government-issued identification.

3. How Information Is Used

Any information submitted to us or automatically collected is used solely for legitimate business purposes, including:

  • Reviewing modeling or talent submissions
  • Communicating with you regarding your submission or inquiries
  • Determining potential representation or opportunities
  • Optimizing, maintaining, and ensuring the security of our website and digital platforms

We do not use your information for invasive advertising profiling, data mining, or commercial resale purposes.

4. Data Storage, Third-Party Services, and CIPA Compliance

We do not maintain proprietary databases of submission data. All submission materials, digital communications, and automated browsing logs are processed and stored through secure, industry-standard third-party service providers used in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to:

  • Google services (such as email, analytics, and cloud-based storage)
  • Syngency, an industry-standard management and booking platform used by model and talent agencies
  • Mailchimp, an industry-standard platform used for our email lists which is self-subscribed to

These providers operate under their own privacy and security policies. By continuing to use our website, you explicitly agree that your communications, browsing behavior, and activities may be simultaneously recorded, intercepted, and processed by both 10 MGMT and our authorized third-party technology providers.

The utilization of these trusted platforms is performed entirely on our behalf and does not constitute unauthorized eavesdropping, wiretapping, or intercepting under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), or any other state or federal privacy legislation. If you do not consent to these monitoring and processing practices, you must immediately discontinue all use of our website.

5. Data Retention

We do not intentionally retain personal data longer than necessary. Submission information is retained only for as long as reasonably required to review, respond, or follow up regarding your submission or potential representation. Information may be deleted, archived, or removed at our discretion once it is no longer relevant or necessary. We are under no obligation to maintain submission records indefinitely.

6. No Sale or Commercial Use of Data

We do not sell, rent, license, trade, or otherwise monetize personal information. Your information is never shared with third parties for commercial, promotional, or marketing purposes. Information may only be disclosed if required by law, court order, or lawful governmental request.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to request access to information you have submitted, request correction or deletion of your information, or withdraw consent to be contacted. Requests may be submitted using the contact information below. We reserve the right to verify identity before processing any request. You may also adjust your internet browser settings or utilize available cookie consent features to limit the tracking of your automated browsing activity.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect submitted information. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Submission of information through our website is done at your own risk.

Our website is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate parental or legal guardian consent. We recommend any and all minors have their legal parents or guardian use our website or contact the agency on their behalf.
