This Privacy Policy describes how UK Talent Train Promotions Limited ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your personal information when you use our website (the "Site") and participate in our events.

Children's Privacy

We understand the importance of protecting children's privacy. We may run events for children under 18, but we take special care to comply with relevant child privacy laws.

  • Parental Consent: We require verifiable parental consent before collecting or using any personal information from a child under 18. This consent will typically be obtained through a registration form where the parent or guardian can provide their information and grant permission for the child's participation.
  • Limited Information Collection: We only collect the minimum amount of personal information necessary to administer the event for children under 18. This may include the child's name, age (age range may be sufficient), and contact information for a parent or guardian.
  • Photo/Video Permission: If a child under 18 is a finalist or winner, we may request separate permission from the parent or guardian to use the child's photo or video for limited marketing purposes related to our events only. We will never use a child's image without explicit parental consent.
  • Data Sharing: We will not share any personal information collected from children under 18 with any third-party companies for marketing purposes. We may share this information with service providers who assist us in running the event, but only under strict contractual obligations to protect the child's privacy.

Information We Collect

We collect several different types of information for various purposes to improve your experience on our Site and during our events. Here's a breakdown considering children's privacy:

    • If the event involves a submission (video audition, artwork, etc.), the content itself may contain personal information.
    • You may also choose to provide additional information in an optional section of the registration form.
  • Children Under 18 (with Parental Consent):
    • We may collect limited personal information about the child, such as their name and age range, with verifiable parental consent.
