Effective date: November 12, 2026
San Diego Model Management (“SDMM,” “we,” “us”) is a California-licensed talent agency based in San Diego, California. This policy explains what personal information we collect through www.sdmodel.com, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.
It applies to two groups of visitors: clients who want to book talent, and models, actors, and parents who apply for representation. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
We collect only what you choose to send us through our forms, plus basic technical data your browser shares automatically.
| Who | What we collect |
|---|---|
| Clients (Hire a Model form) | Name, company, email, phone number, and project details such as dates, location, budget, and talent needed |
| Applicants (Apply form) | Information you provide, which may include name, email, phone, city, date of birth, height and measurements, photographs, social media handles, experience, and union status |
| Parents or guardians of minor applicants | The parent’s or guardian’s name and contact details, plus the child’s information listed above |
| All visitors (automatic) | IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, referring site, and cookie data |
| Customers making a payment | Billing details are processed by our payment provider; we do not store full card numbers |
We do not knowingly collect Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, or government ID numbers through the website.
How we use information
We use your information to run the agency and answer your requests, nothing more.
- Clients: to respond to booking inquiries, send talent options and quotes, schedule bookings, and invoice.
- Applicants: to review applications, contact you about representation, and, if we represent you, present your photos and statistics to clients and submit you for jobs.
- All visitors: to operate, secure, and improve the website and understand which pages are useful.
- Legal: to keep records required of a licensed talent agency and to comply with the law.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.
We share information only in these cases:
- With clients, for represented talent: once we represent you, we share your photos, statistics, and availability with clients considering you for a booking. Applicants we do not represent are never presented to clients.
- With service providers: companies that host our website, deliver email, process forms or payments, and provide analytics. They may use the information only to provide those services to us.
- For legal reasons: when required by law, subpoena, or a licensing authority, or to protect the rights and safety of SDMM, our talent, or others.
- In a business transfer: if SDMM is merged, sold, or reorganized, information may transfer to the new owner under this same policy.
California residents may ask whether we have shared personal information with third parties for their direct marketing in the past year (Cal. Civ. Code 1798.83). We have not.
Cookies, analytics, and Do Not Track
Our site uses cookies to keep it working and to measure traffic. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies through the banner, or block cookies in your browser settings.
Third-party tracking: We may use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, that collect information about your visits to this and other websites over time. You can opt out of Google Analytics at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Do Not Track: Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no common standard for responding to it, so our site does not currently change its behavior when it receives one.
Children and minors
Applications for anyone under 18 must be submitted by a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.
If we learn that a child under 13 sent us information without a parent’s involvement, we will delete it. Parents may review or delete their child’s information at any time by contacting us.
Photos and details of minors we represent are shared with clients only with the parent’s or guardian’s consent, and only for bookings.
How long we keep information
We keep client and talent records for as long as needed to run bookings and meet our record-keeping duties as a licensed talent agency. Applications we decline are deleted within two years. Talent who leave the agency may ask us to remove their photos and profile from the site.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections and restricted access to submitted files. No website is perfectly secure, so please do not send sensitive information such as ID or bank numbers through our forms.
Your choices and rights
You may ask us to show you, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop contacting you. Email us at the address below and we will respond within 45 days. We will not treat you differently for making a request.
Changes to this policy
When we update this policy, we will post the new version on this page and change the effective date at the top. Significant changes will also be noted on our homepage.
