We believe discretion, transparency, and responsible handling of personal information are fundamental to a professional relationship.
Last Updated: August 31, 2026
Overview
At VLT Models, privacy is part of professionalism. We recognize that the people who interact with our agency may entrust us with information that is personal, professional, or commercially sensitive. We therefore aim to collect only information that is reasonably necessary for legitimate business, representation, communication, recruitment, editorial, operational, security, and legal purposes, and to handle that information responsibly.
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed by VLT Models through this website and through related communications and services described in this Policy. Depending on how you interact with us, different categories of information and different privacy rights may apply.
Information We Collect
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Identity | Name, professional name, date of birth |
| Contact | Email address, telephone number, mailing address, location |
| Professional | Portfolio information, measurements, experience, representation details, Instagram handle |
| Application | Information submitted when seeking representation or contacting the agency through our Scout portal |
| Images / Media | Photographs, videos, or other media voluntarily submitted for representation consideration |
| Technical | IP address, browser, device, operating system, network routing data |
Some information may be considered sensitive or subject to heightened legal protection depending on applicable law and the circumstances in which it is collected. VLT does not ask individuals to submit sensitive personal information through the website unless it is reasonably necessary for a legitimate purpose (such as evaluating representation) and the relevant collection is permitted by applicable law. Where consent or another specific legal basis is required, we will seek it as appropriate.
How We Collect Information
Directly From You
Information is collected directly when you contact VLT, submit an inquiry, submit information and media for representation through our Scout portal, or communicate directly with the agency.
Automatically
Depending on the website technology installed, our servers automatically record standard technical data (such as IP address, browser type, device information, and referring pages) required to reliably deliver the website.
From Other Sources
Where legitimately applicable, information may be received from professional representatives, clients, creative collaborators, publicly available professional sources (like public social media accounts provided in applications), and service providers.
How We Use Information
- Evaluate representation inquiries: To review information and media voluntarily provided by prospective models or talent.
- Respond to inquiries: To respond to questions, booking inquiries, representation inquiries, and other communications.
- Provide agency services: To coordinate representation, bookings, production, editorial work, casting, scheduling, and related agency activities where applicable.
- Manage professional relationships: To communicate with models, clients, photographers, creatives, agencies, contractors, and other professional contacts.
- Maintain and improve the website: To understand technical performance, usability, and website reliability.
- Protect security: To detect abuse, fraud, unauthorized access, malicious activity, or technical threats.
- Meet legal obligations: To comply with applicable legal requirements, court orders, regulatory requirements, and lawful requests.
- Establish or defend legal rights: Where reasonably necessary to protect VLT's legal interests or resolve disputes.
Legal Bases
Where applicable, including where VLT is subject to the GDPR or similar privacy laws, we process personal information on one or more lawful bases recognized by applicable law. These may include performance of a contract or steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, compliance with legal obligations, legitimate interests, and consent where consent is required.
Our legitimate interests may include operating and securing our website, communicating with professional contacts, managing agency relationships, preventing fraud or misuse, maintaining business records, and developing our services, provided that those interests do not override applicable individual rights.
Information Relating to Models and Talent
Modeling and talent representation may require the agency to work with professional information that is more detailed than the information typically submitted through an ordinary website contact form. Depending on the relationship and services involved, this may include professional photographs, portfolio materials, professional biography, measurements, availability, work history, representation information, booking-related details, and other information reasonably necessary to manage a professional modeling relationship.
Such information may be used to evaluate representation, develop professional opportunities, coordinate castings and bookings, communicate with clients and creative partners, maintain agency records, and provide representation and related services.
Information displayed publicly on a model profile is handled as part of the model's professional representation and public portfolio. We aim to publish only information appropriate for professional presentation and applicable consent, contractual, or other legal requirements.
Photographs and Media
VLT operates in a visual industry, and photographs and other media are central to professional representation and editorial presentation. Where photographs, videos, or related media are submitted to or created for VLT, their collection, use, publication, licensing, or storage may also be governed by applicable agreements, releases, usage permissions, agency agreements, production agreements, or other contractual arrangements.
This Privacy Policy does not replace those separate agreements where they apply.
Data Retention
VLT retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide services, maintain business and professional records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, protect the business, comply with legal obligations, and establish or defend legal claims.
Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, the relationship involved, contractual obligations, legal requirements, and operational needs.
Information submitted for representation may be retained for an appropriate period so that VLT can assess the submission, maintain relevant professional records, communicate regarding opportunities, and comply with applicable obligations. Where information is no longer reasonably necessary, it may be deleted or securely disposed of, subject to legal or contractual requirements.
Security
VLT takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
These measures may include access controls, authentication, secure transmission where appropriate, system monitoring, vendor controls, and reasonable internal procedures.
No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International Processing
VLT may work with service providers, professional partners, or infrastructure located in countries other than the country in which you live. Where personal information is transferred across borders, VLT will take steps required by applicable law to provide appropriate protection for that information.
Where required under applicable data-protection law, international transfers will be made using an approved transfer mechanism or other lawful safeguard.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply to you, you may have rights concerning your personal information. Rights vary by jurisdiction and circumstance.
- Access: You may have the right to request access to personal information held about you.
- Correction: You may have the right to request correction of inaccurate information.
- Deletion: You may have the right to request deletion of personal information, subject to legal exceptions.
- Restriction: In some jurisdictions, you may have the right to request restriction of processing.
- Objection: In some circumstances, you may have the right to object to certain processing.
- Portability: Where applicable, you may have the right to receive certain information in a portable format.
- Withdraw Consent: Where processing relies on consent, you may be able to withdraw that consent.
- Complaint: Where applicable, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data-protection authority.
To protect personal information, VLT may need to verify the identity or authority of a person submitting a privacy request before providing access, making certain changes, or deleting information. We will respond to valid privacy requests within the timeframe required by applicable law.
Children and Minors
VLT does not knowingly use this website to solicit personal information from children in circumstances prohibited by applicable law.
Where modeling, casting, representation, or other professional services involve minors, VLT may process information relating to the minor as reasonably necessary for the applicable professional relationship, subject to applicable law and, where required, the involvement or authorization of a parent, guardian, or other legally authorized person.
Third-Party Websites
The VLT website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties. Those services have their own privacy practices, and VLT is not responsible for the privacy policies or content of third-party websites that it does not control.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
VLT may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology, legal requirements, or privacy practices. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date and, where required by law, provide additional notice or obtain consent.
