Most of the personal data we collect, store and use about you will be provided by you while creating a client or voice artist account on our Website. We may also use and store personal data about you from information available from public sources (e.g. IMDB, LinkedIn, Spotlight).

What if you don’t want to share your personal data with us?

If you fail to provide certain information when requested, we may not be able to perform the agency client agreement we have entered into with you or we may be prevented from complying with our legal obligations to you (such as paying you or putting you forward for new projects).

How will we use your personal data and what are our legal grounds for processing your personal data?

We use your personal data primarily for the purpose of acting for you as your agent.  The situations in which we may use your personal data are set out below along with the legal grounds we will rely upon to process your data. Some of the legal grounds for processing will overlap and there may be several grounds which justify our use of your personal data.

The processing of your personal data is necessary for the performance of an agency client agreement or to enable us to take steps at your request prior to entering into an agency client agreement:

• to decide whether we take you on as a voice artist
• to determine the terms of our agency client agreement with you
• to keep you up to date
• to represent you as a voice artist
• to put you forward for new projects and castings available on OutSpoken website
• to create a voice artist profile on our website to enable us to assess your suitability for new projects [and so that we can easily forward your profile onto third parties such as clients looking to book voice artists]
• to negotiate your intellectual property rights, licence fees and royalty payments
• to collect and receive payments on your behalf, to undertake invoicing, to collect and pay VAT (if applicable) and to deduct our commission

How do we keep your information safe?

OutSpoken is committed to keeping your personal information safe and secure. We store the information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, with protections from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. Please bear in mind that data communication over the internet is never 100% secure, so whilst we do everything we can to protect your information, we cannot always guarantee its complete security.

If the client selects PayPal or Stripe (card payment) as their chosen payment option, when paying for the project, we automatically transmit their data (usually first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number) to the relevant payment provider. The user agrees to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.

Transferring your personal data outside the EU
