Contractor Privacy Notice

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy notice informs you about how we look after your personal data, and tells you about your privacy rights when you are working with us as a Contractor.

Summary

Where Voice & Script International Limited (“we”, “us” or “VSI”) collects information about you, or information that can be used by us or organisations that we work with, to find out about you, that information is known as “personal data”. In line with the law, this Contractor Privacy Notice explains what types of personal data we collect and hold about Contractors and how we use and look after it, where VSI is responsible for data protection compliance. For example, where we hold your information on our database for our own purposes, or to offer your services to third parties.

By "Contractor", we mean all of the following:

• Talent (such as actors, subtitlers, expert linguists, directors, dubbing and voice-over artists, production teams, audio-visual technicians and other experts) engaged by VSI directly or by VSI, on behalf of our clients (such as studios) or people applying to be talent
• Other people providing contributions for use by VSI directly or by VSI, on behalf of VSI’s clients (such as people being interviewed, submitting comments or giving us photos/images to use)

VSI is part of a wider group of companies. You can find details of these companies on our website: www.vsi.tv.

If your interaction with VSI relates to situations where we are acting as a data processor of your personal data, on behalf of VSI’s commissioning clients (such as third-party studios or other VSI Group companies), we may also share your personal data with those data controllers, and they will be responsible for data protection compliance. This means that their privacy notice will also apply to how they process your personal data.

This privacy notice does not apply to you:

• If you visit our website or our social media pages. In that case, our Website Privacy Notice will apply
• If you are a sub-contractor/supplier/service provider (Supplier) working with us (or a person representing that Supplier) in a way other than as a Contractor. In that case, our Website Privacy Notice will apply
• If you work for us as an employee or are applying to work for us in that way. In that case, we will provide separate privacy notices that set out more details of our employment relationship with you.

This privacy notice also tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

The rules about personal data are complex. If you need help understanding anything in this privacy notice, please contact us at data.privacy@vsi.tv or using our full contact details below.

The simple version is this:

• We collect information about you, including contact details (like your email address), when you give us that information as part of our relationship with you, and when you call us or communicate with us  
• We treat the information that we hold about you very carefully. We do our best to make sure that information about you does not go to the wrong people or to people who might not look after that information properly
• If you ask us to do certain things with the information that we hold about you, we must usually do what you ask, and you do not usually have to pay for this. Those things include:
  • Giving you a copy of the information that we hold about you
  • Putting right any mistakes in the information that we hold about you
  • Putting a stop to using information about you or deleting it where appropriate to do so

If you want to ask us to do any of these things, or you have any questions or concerns, you can contact us at data.privacy@vsi.tv or using our full contact details below. If you still have concerns, you can also contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”). This is the organisation in charge of making sure that we do the right things with your personal data.

When you are acting as a Contractor you may share certain categories of SCPD with us. SCPD are afforded extra protection under the applicable data protection legislation, and so, we have to have an additional legal basis to process SCPD that you share with us. We have set out the purposes for such processing and the legal basis for our processing under Section 4 below.

(c) No criminal offence data or children’s data

We do not collect:

• Any personal data about children under the age of 13 years old. If you believe your contribution relates to a child under that age, please contact us for a specific privacy notice relating to that child’s contribution

(d) Aggregated data

We also collect, use and share aggregated data, such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated data could be derived from your personal data, but is not considered personal data in law, because this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity.

However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data, which will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.

(e) If you fail to provide personal data

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract with you, or we are processing your personal data to fulfil a request that you have made, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract with you, or may not be able to otherwise comply with requests made by you. In this case, we may have to cancel a particular service, but we will notify you at the time if this is the case.

3. How your personal data is collected

We use different methods to collect data from and about you, including through:

• Direct interactions - you may give us your Identity data, Contact data and Financial data by filling in forms or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email or otherwise. This includes personal data that you provide when you:

• Contact, Financial and Transaction Data from providers of technical, payment and delivery services in relation to your role as a Contractor
• Identity, Contact and Profile Data from social media sources, the media generally, industry contacts and from public opinion through surveys and market research

4. How we use your personal data

Either VSI or VSI’s clients (such as studios where applicable) is the data “controller" under the applicable data protection legislation and will therefore decide how your personal data is used. This is called "processing data".

The data controller is required to have a legal basis to process personal data. Most commonly, we will process your personal data in the following circumstances:

• Where the data controller needs to perform the contract that it is about to enter into or has entered into with you. This will include managing that contractual relationship, including assignment of rights, making payments, contacting you or your agent about the Contractor engagement, or for other purposes relating to the exploitation of your contribution/assignment of rights
• Where it is necessary for the legitimate interests of the data controller (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. Where the legitimate interest relates to the consideration of your application as a Contractor and/or the publication of your contribution as journalistic, artistic or literary material, the assessment is that such processing will not be disproportionate to your interests and rights
• Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation

To find out more about the types of lawful basis that the data controller will rely on to process your personal data, under the applicable data protection legislation, see the Glossary below.

(a) Purposes for which we will use your personal data as a data processor

We may also process your personal data, where we act as a data “processor” under the applicable data protection legislation. For example, where our commissioning controller, VSI’s clients (such as studios), have asked us to provide services to them which require us to process your personal data as a Contractor.

Where that is the case, we have appropriate contractual arrangements in place to manage the relationship between our controller, VSI’s clients, and us as their data processor. As controller, they are responsible for having a legal basis to process your personal data, and we simply carry out that processing on their behalf. The terms of their appropriate privacy notice, relating to your role as a Contractor will apply to any processing where they are responsible for data protection compliance.

Please contact us if you need confirmation about the specific data controller that relates to your interaction with us as a Contractor.

(b) Purposes for which we will use your personal data as a data controller

i. General purposes

The following table describes all the ways in which we plan to use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so, where we act as a data “controller” under the applicable data protection legislation.

Generally, we will not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data. However, if we ever do, we will make you aware of this prior to such consent being given. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.

Note that we may process your personal data on more than one lawful basis, depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data.

For the purposes set out in the table in the previous section, we may share your personal data with the following parties:

• Internal third parties as set out in the Glossary
• External third parties as set out in the Glossary
• Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party processors to use your personal data for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

6. International DATA transfers

Some of our internal third parties and external third parties may be based outside the United Kingdom (UK) and/or the European Economic Area (EEA) so the processing of your personal data may involve a transfer of data outside the UK and/or the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK and/or the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

(a) A transfer of your personal data to countries that the UK government or the European Commission have deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data. For further details, see the information about adequacy decisions on the European Commission’s website and the UK ICO website). Currently, we transfer your personal data to the following jurisdictions on the basis of this safeguard:

i. Our email is hosted and our files are stored using Microsoft 365, which is a cloud service provider based in Ireland. Ireland is considered by the UK as having an adequate level of protection for your personal data.

(b) Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the UK or by the European Commission that give personal data the same protection that it has in Europe. For further details, see the information about model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries on the European Commission’s website and the UK ICO website (model clauses). Currently, we transfer your personal data to the following jurisdictions on the basis of this safeguard:

i. To our Group companies that are based outside the UK or the EEA (see here for details of where our Group companies are located). We have an Intra-Group Data Transfer Agreement in place that contains the model clauses.

Please contact us if you would like further information about the specific mechanism that we use when we transfer your personal data out of the UK or the EEA.

Please note that we have no control over the routes that emails take, and even emails exchanged between two people in the UK could appear on equipment in countries outside the UK or the EEA, where they may not be protected by strong privacy or data protection laws and practices. You will probably not consider this an issue, but if you have any concerns, please raise them with us, and we will make alternative arrangements.

7. Data security

We have a strong commitment to data security.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.

In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors 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.

We take appropriate steps to communicate with and train our staff in relation to applicable data protection law.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to or via our website. Any transmission is at your own risk.

If you would like to know more about our data security measures, please contact us.

8. Data retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint. or if we reasonably believe that there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

By law, we have to keep basic information about you for tax purposes (including contact, identity, financial and transaction data) for at least six years after you cease being a Contractor.

Details of other retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are available in our retention policy above.

In some circumstances, you can ask us to delete your data: see the following section for further information.

In some circumstances, we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

9. Your legal rights
