6. Model Applications and Portfolio Materials

When you submit a model application, you authorise us to review the information and materials you provide for the purpose of assessing your suitability for representation, placements, castings and professional opportunities. Submission of an application does not guarantee representation, employment, a booking, a casting invitation or any other commercial opportunity. Photographs and videos submitted through the website may be reviewed by authorised members of our team. Where relevant to your application or professional representation, selected materials may also be shared with suitable agencies, brands, clients, photographers, casting directors and other fashion-industry professionals. We do not intentionally process photographs or videos for biometric identification unless you have been separately informed and an appropriate legal basis has been established.

8. International Data Transfers

The modelling and fashion industry operates internationally. As a result, personal data may be shared with agencies, clients, technology providers or professional partners located outside Türkiye or outside the country in which you reside. Where an international transfer takes place, we will use the safeguards and transfer mechanisms required by applicable data protection legislation. These may include adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, binding contractual safeguards, your explicit consent where legally appropriate, or another legally recognised transfer mechanism.

9. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly, remember user preferences, understand website performance, protect website security and improve visitor experience. Cookies may include:
  • Strictly necessary cookies: required for the website to function and cannot normally be disabled.
  • Preference cookies: used to remember choices such as language or display preferences.
  • Analytics cookies: used to understand how visitors use the website and identify areas for improvement.
  • Marketing cookies: used to measure campaigns or provide more relevant advertising, where applicable.
Non-essential cookies will be used only where permitted by applicable law and, where required, after you have provided consent. You can manage your choices through the cookie banner or your browser settings.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, manage professional relationships, comply with legal obligations and establish, exercise or defend legal claims. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the relationship, contractual requirements and applicable limitation periods. Application materials belonging to applicants who are not selected may be deleted, anonymised or retained for a limited period where there is a legitimate possibility of a future opportunity and where such retention is permitted by law. When personal data is no longer required, it will be deleted, destroyed, anonymised or otherwise securely disposed of in accordance with applicable requirements.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, organisational and technical measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, destruction and misuse.
