We may also collect and use "special” or “sensitive” personal data, which means personal data relating to your trade union membership, health, criminal convictions and history, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or political persuasion. Where such personal data is required we will only process this as follows:
where we have your explicit consent;
where it is necessary for carrying out our obligations and exercising our rights in the field of employment, social security or social protection law or collective agreement;
where it is necessary for the assessment of your working capacity;
where it is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest;
where required under a specific legal obligation; or
where you have manifestly made this information available to us.
We use information to communicate with you and respond to your interest, and to consider your application to be a participant in our production. We further use information to provide, analyze, administer, and enhance our Services, and to process your application. We also use information for: troubleshooting; audit logging; to prevent, detect and investigate potentially prohibited or illegal activities, including unauthorized access; comply with legal requirements and law enforcement requests; and to generate usage statistics.
We may disclose your personal data to our affiliates, group companies and certain third parties to process your personal data on our behalf. In each case, we will ensure that all such parties only process your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Statement.
We may also disclose your personal data in the following circumstances:
where if we believe that doing so is necessary to protect the rights, property, security, or safety of us, our production, our other talent and crew, or the public;
to enforce any contract or policies we have in place with you;
to investigate and defend ourselves or others against any third-party claims or allegations; and
in relation to a business transaction, such as a merger, change of control or sale of assets.
Whenever in the course of sharing information we transfer personal data to countries outside of the European Economic Area and other regions with comprehensive data protection laws, we will ensure that the information is transferred in accordance with this Privacy Statement and as permitted by the applicable laws on data protection.
We use reasonable administrative, logical, physical and managerial measures to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft and unauthorized access, use and modification. These measures are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risks of processing your personal information.
Unless otherwise provided, you must be 18 years of age or older to use the Services. We will designate if Services are directed at persons under the age of 18. In certain jurisdictions, the age of majority may be older than 18, in which case, you must satisfy that age requirement.
We will update this Privacy Statement from time to time in response to changing legal, regulatory or operational requirements. We will provide notice of any such changes (including when they will take effect) in accordance with law. Your continued use of the Services after any such updates take effect will constitute acknowledgement and (as applicable) acceptance of those changes. To see when this Privacy Statement was last updated, please see the "Last Updated" section below.
We and our service providers use cookies and other technologies (such as web beacons) for various reasons. For example, we use cookies and other technologies to make it easy to access our Services by remembering you when you return, and to provide and analyze our Services. We want you to be informed about our use of these technologies, so this notice explains the types of technologies we use, what they do and your choices regarding their use.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are commonly stored on your device when you browse and use websites and online services. They are widely used to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and assist with service or advertising personalization.
Cookies are not the only types of technology that enable this functionality; we also use other, similar types of technologies. See below for more information and examples.
Why do we use cookies?
We and our service providers may use the following types of cookies:
Essential cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide our Services. For example, we or our service providers may use these cookies to authenticate and identify our users so we can provide our Services to them. They also help us to maintain the security of our service.
Performance and functionality cookies: These cookies are not essential, but help us to personalize and enhance your online experience with the Services. For example, they help us to remember your preferences and prevent you from needing to re-enter information you previously provided (for example, during the registration process). We also use these cookies to collect information (such as click-through and other information) about use of the Services so that we can enhance and improve our Services. Deletion of these types of cookies will result in limited functionality of our service.
How Do We use Web Beacons and other Technologies?
Web beacons (also known as clear gifs or pixel tags) often work in conjunction with cookies. We and our service providers may use them for similar purposes as cookies, such as to understand and enhance the use of our service, improve site performance, and monitor visitor traffic and actions on our site. Because web beacons often work in conjunction with cookies, in many cases, declining cookies will impair the effectiveness of web beacons.
We use other technologies that are similar to cookies, such as browser storage and plugins (e.g., HTML5, IndexedDB, and WebSQL). Like cookies, some of these technologies may store small amounts of data on your device. We may use these and various other technologies for similar purposes as cookies, such as to analyze the use of our service.
There are a number of ways to exercise choice regarding these technologies. For example, many popular browsers provide the ability to clear browser storage, commonly in the settings or preferences area; see your browser’s help function or support area to learn more.
Your information and rights
If you are a resident of the UK/EEA: Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Statement will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect and use it. We will normally collect personal information from you where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you (for example, if we retained you to work on a production), where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms (for example, contacting you in connection with opportunities to work on a production), or where we have your consent to do so (for example, collecting information about your diversity). In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person (for example, to confirm your identity). For questions about our use of your personal information (including legal bases and transfer mechanisms we rely on), cookies or similar technologies, please contact our Data Protection Officer/Privacy Office by email at: privacy@shieldprod.com. Please include the name of the production you are applying when you write.
You can request access to your personal data, or correct or update out-of-date or inaccurate personal data we hold about you. To make requests, or if you have any other question regarding our privacy practices, please contact our Data Protection Officer/Privacy Office. When contacting us, please be sure to advise us that you are contacting us in connection with these Services. We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We may reject requests that are unreasonable or not required by law, including those that would be extremely impractical, could require disproportionate technical effort, or could expose us to operational risks.
Please be aware that the rights above are not absolute and there may be circumstances where we are unable to comply with your request (either wholly or in part). In such cases we will explain why we cannot comply with the request.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
If you have any questions in relation to your personal data or how it is processed by us in these Services, please contact our Data Protection Officer/Privacy Office by email at: privacy@shieldprod.com. Please include the name of the production you are applying when you write.
This Privacy Statement applies to California consumers, and supplements the Privacy Statement.
Personal Information We Collect
We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household ("CCPA personal information"). We have collected the following categories of CCPA personal information from consumers within the last twelve (12) months:
Identifiers: "Identifiers" covers a broad range of information, including things like name, email address, postal address, telephone number, IP address. We collect some CCPA personal information that falls into this category. For example, when you apply for a position, we're going to collect name, email address, phone number, your birthday, and your postal address as part of the application process. We collect IP addresses when you connect to our site.
Characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law: This covers a broad range of information like race, citizenship status, sex, gender identity, marital status, sexual orientation, military status or whether you are a veteran, religion, political affiliation, and whether you are a person with a disability. When you applied, you may provide information about such characteristics.
Internet or other electronic network activity information: Our application process is online, so we collect CCPA personal information in this category, like your interactions with our site.
Geolocation data: Our site does not collect precise geolocation data from GPS sensors, which is what we understand this term to mean. However, as noted above, we do collect IP addresses from which we can determine your general location.
Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory or similar information: If you visit our facilities, your entry and exit from lobbies and other areas of our facilities may be monitored by CCTV.
Professional or employment-related information: As part of the applicant screening process, we collect CCPA personal information in this category, like information on your resume.
