ShootModel privacy policy

This policy explains what personal data ShootModel collects, why we use it, who helps us process it, how long we keep it and what rights you have. It applies to bookers, talent and visitors of shootmodel.com. We collect only what we need to run bookings safely and never sell your data.

1. Who is responsible for your data

The controller of your personal data is the administrator of the shootmodel.com service. For any privacy question or request, write to support@shootmodel.com.

This policy was last updated on October 15, 2026.

2. Data we collect from bookers

  • 01Account data, such as your email address, password (stored as a secure hash), name and company name if you add it
  • 02Search and booking data, such as talent type, city, dates, hours, budget, briefs, shortlists, shoot requests and bookings
  • 03Moodboards and reference photos you upload for AI casting
  • 04Messages you send in booking chat
  • 05Billing data, such as plan, invoices and the last digits and expiry of your card, which our payment provider shares with us
  • 06Team data, such as the names and emails of people you invite to your seats

3. Data we collect from talent

  • 01Account and profile data, such as name or stage name, email, city, travel radius, categories, rates, availability and portfolio photos and videos
  • 02Booking, chat, rating and document data, including signed booking agreements, model releases and usage licenses
  • 03Payout data, such as the bank account details you add, handled by our payment provider
  • 04Verification results, as described in the next section

On a couple profile, we collect profile and verification data for both people.

4. ID and age verification

Every talent goes through an ID and age check before their profile is public. The check is done by our identity verification provider, which handles the ID document and any selfie you submit under its own security rules. We do not store copies of your ID document.

We store only the result of the check, the date it was done and your verified age. If your date of birth is passed to us, it is stored encrypted, used only to confirm you are 18 or older, and never shown on your profile or to bookers.

5. Data collected automatically

When you use the site, our servers record basic technical data, such as IP address, browser type, pages requested and time of the request. We use it to keep the service secure, stop abuse and fix errors.

6. Why we use your data and on what legal basis

PurposeLegal basis
Creating and running your account Performance of our contract with you
Search, bookings, chat, payments, payouts and booking documents Performance of the contract
ID and age checks for talent Our legitimate interest in a safe marketplace for adults, and legal obligations where they apply
AI casting from your moodboard Performance of the contract, at your request
Billing, invoices and tax records Legal obligation
Security, fraud prevention and dispute handling Our legitimate interest in protecting users and the service
Service emails, such as codes, booking updates and receipts Performance of the contract
Product news by email Your consent, which you can withdraw at any time

We do not use your data for automated decisions that have legal or similar effects on you. AI casting only ranks talent as a suggestion, and the booker makes the choice.

7. Who processes data for us

We share data only with service providers who help us run ShootModel, under contracts that limit what they may do with it.

  • 01A payment provider, for card payments, held funds and payouts
  • 02A hosting provider, with servers in the EU and the US
  • 03An email delivery provider, for codes, booking updates and receipts
  • 04An AI model provider, for AI casting from your moodboard
  • 05An identity verification provider, for talent ID and age checks

8. What other users see

When you book or are booked, the other side sees what they need for the shoot, such as your name, profile, the brief, the chat and the signed documents. Personal phone numbers and email addresses are not shared before a booking is made. Talent profiles are visible in search. Your verified age is shown as a badge only, never as a date of birth.

We may also share data when the law requires it, or to protect the safety of users.

9. Essential cookies only

ShootModel uses only cookies that the site needs to work, such as the session cookie that keeps you logged in, a security token for forms and your basic settings. We do not use advertising pixels or tracking cookies from ad networks. Because we only set essential cookies, we do not show a cookie banner. Any site statistics we keep are collected without cookies.

10. How long we keep data

DataHow long
Account and profile data While your account is open, then deleted within 30 days of closing, except as below
Booking records, signed documents and chat For as long as needed for the usage term and possible claims, usually up to 6 years after the booking
Invoices and tax records As long as tax law requires
Verification result and verified age While your talent profile exists, then deleted
Server logs Up to 90 days
Moodboards uploaded for AI casting While the casting is saved in your account

11. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • 01Access the personal data we hold about you and get a copy
  • 02Correct data that is wrong or incomplete
  • 03Delete your data, subject to records we must keep
  • 04Limit or object to some uses of your data
  • 05Receive your data in a portable format
  • 06Withdraw consent you gave, such as for product emails
  • 07Complain to your local data protection authority

If you live in the EU or the UK, these rights come from the GDPR. If you live in a US state with a privacy law, such as California, you have similar rights to know, delete, correct and opt out. We do not sell personal data and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We will not treat you differently for using your rights.

To use a right, write to support@shootmodel.com from the email on your account. We answer within the time the law sets, usually within 30 days.

12. International transfers

ShootModel serves users in many countries, and our providers may process data in the EU, the US and other countries. When data moves out of the EU or the UK, we rely on approved safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, to keep it protected.

13. How we protect your data

We use encrypted connections, hashed passwords, encryption of sensitive fields such as date of birth, access limits for staff and regular backups. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password and tell us at support@shootmodel.com if you think your account is at risk.

14. Adults only

ShootModel is only for people aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone younger. If we learn that such data was collected, we delete it.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the service or the law changes. We post the new version here with a new date, and we tell you by email or in the app about important changes.
