Application privacy notice
Effective 6 October 2026.
What you provide
Bubblegum collects the applicant’s name, birth date, gender, city, ethnicity, accent and headshot, plus the adult contact’s name, email and phone. For children, we also record the guardian’s declaration of authority. Enquiries collect your name, email and message. Please leave health, financial and identity documents out of these forms.
Why and who sees it
Our team uses this information to review applications, respond to enquiries and discuss next steps. Pending photos and application details are private to the applicant’s secure session and authorised agency staff. Applying does not publish a profile or permit a casting client to see your application. Campaign sharing and publication require a separate review.
Children and family access
A parent or guardian should apply for a person under 18. Staff check authority before providing access to an existing child’s profile. A shared email or surname does not link family members automatically. Each child receives a separate application and review. Tell us if authority is disputed or changes.
Storage and messages
This application uses Firebase authentication, database and private file storage. When your application or enquiry arrives, we send an automatic confirmation email from deb@bubblegum.co.nz. Deb reviews every application herself before deciding whether to take it further. A draft stays in this browser tab until successful submission; avoid a shared device and close the tab when finished.
Photos from this intake are not passed to an AI model by this workflow.
Questions, corrections or withdrawal
Contact Deborah Howard at deb@bubblegum.co.nz to ask about your information, request a correction or withdraw an application. Staff need to verify your identity and any guardian authority before disclosing or changing a person’s records.
