This Global Privacy Notice for Producer Talent, Crew, and Participants (“Privacy Notice”) describes our privacy policy for Covered Individuals. Depending on where you are located or reside, one or more of our region- or country-specific notices providing additional information may also apply:
The Privacy Notice does not create an employment relationship between Covered Individuals (and in particular, independent contractors) and Producer or Amazon.

What personal information does Producer collect, and from where?
Line Up (Southernlight) Productions, Inc. at 16030 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 380, Encino, California 91436 controls the collection of personal information and how it is used. In some countries, this is referred to as the “controller” or “responsible organization.”
We collect personal information from you directly, from your interactions with us, and from third parties such as service providers, benefit and insurance providers, prior and current employers, recruitment and talent agencies, studios, television networks, references provided by you, and background check services, as well as data brokers and publicly available sources. We may combine information that we collect from you with other information we obtain from other sources. We may use and share information that we aggregate (compile to create statistics that cannot identify a particular individual) or de-identify (strip information of all unique identifiers such that it cannot be linked to a particular individual) at our discretion.
We may collect the following categories of personal information from you directly or from a third party, with your knowledge and authorization where required (some or all may apply to you, depending on your employment or contractual status and applicable laws of your jurisdiction of residence):
If you do not provide or authorize collection of necessary information when requested, we may not be able to fulfill our legal or contractual obligations, and we will tell you about the implications of that decision.
How does Producer use personal information?
Generally, we may use any of the personal information we collect as appropriate and necessary to administer your relationship with, involvement with, or services with Producer, including for the following purposes (some or all may apply to you, depending on your employment or contractual status and applicable laws of your jurisdiction of residence):
Each category of personal information is generally retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and in order to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
With whom does Producer share personal information?
We may share information with members of Producer’s group of companies for legitimate purposes, with your consent (where required by applicable law), and where lawful to do so. We take appropriate steps to ensure that people who receive your information are bound to maintain the confidentiality of the information.
We engage vendors to perform specific business functions on behalf of Producer, which may receive personal information from us or collect it from you directly. These vendors must provide sufficient guarantees regarding the protection of personal information and are obligated by contract to use the information they receive only for the purpose of providing these business functions, which include:
We may share your personal information in order to comply with U.S. state and federal laws or other applicable laws around the world (for example, in the country of your residence), or respond to a court order, judicial or other government request, subpoena, or warrant in the manner legally required.
We reserve the right to disclose information that we believe, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to protect Producer from potential liability or from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful conduct or practices; investigate and defend ourselves against third-party claims, or allegations; protect Producer against security incidents and misuse; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Producer, our employees, or others.
In certain circumstances, we may share your personal information to third parties who act as controllers in their own right, such as:
In such cases, your personal information would become subject to the privacy policies and practices of such third parties once it is shared with them.
We may also disclose your personal information in connection with a substantial corporate transaction, such as the sale of a business asset or line, a merger, consolidation, asset sale, initial public offering, or bankruptcy. We cannot promise that an acquiring party or the merged entity will have the same privacy practices or treat personal information as described in this notice.
To the extent that we receive protected health information about you, that information is subject to electronic disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law.
We do not share your personal information with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes.

Supplemental Notice for California
Last updated: May 26, 2025
In combination with the Privacy Notice, this Supplemental Notice for California (“California Notice”) provides additional information about our handling of personal information of Covered Individuals residing in California (“you”) under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as modified by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, the CCPA). For purposes of this California Notice, personal information does not include publicly available information or lawfully obtained, truthful information that is a matter of public concern.
The CCPA provides California residents with rights to receive certain disclosures regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of their personal information, as well as rights to know/access, correct, delete, and limit disclosure of personal information. They also have the right to be free from discrimination based on the exercise of their CCPA rights. To the extent that we collect personal information that is subject to the CCPA, that information, our practices, and your rights are described below.
Notice at Collection
We collect the categories of personal information listed under “What personal information does Producer collect, and from where?” in the Privacy Notice. The categories we use to describe the personal information are those enumerated in the CCPA. We collect personal information for the purposes described under “How does Producer use personal information?” in the Privacy Notice.
We may disclose all categories of personal information, including sensitive personal information, that we collect to service providers/contractors and third parties for the business and commercial purposes described under “With whom does Producer share personal information?” in the Privacy Notice. Entities to whom we disclose personal information for business purposes are service providers or contractors, which are companies we engage to conduct activities on our behalf. We restrict service providers and contractors from using personal information for any purposes that is not related to our engagement. A company may be considered a third party either because we disclose personal information to it for something other than a business purpose enumerated under California law, or because its contract does not restrict it from using personal information for purposes unrelated to the service it provides to us.
We do not “sell” or “share” personal information, as those terms are defined by the CCPA, or use or disclose sensitive personal information for any purpose not expressly authorized by the CCPA.
We determine the retention period for each category of personal information listed based on (1) the length of time we need to retain the information to achieve the business or commercial purpose for which it was obtained, (2) any legal or regulatory requirements applicable to such information, (3) internal operational needs, and (4) any need for the information based on any actual or anticipated investigation or litigation.
Your Rights
You have the following rights under the CCPA:
To exercise the rights available to you, please contact us as described in the Privacy Notice. You may, under certain circumstances, authorize another individual or a business, called an authorized agent, to make requests on your behalf. We may have a reason under the law why we do not have to comply with your request, or why we may comply with it in a more limited way than you anticipated. If we do, we will explain that to you in our response.
For security purposes we will generally ask you, or your authorized agents, for information to verify your request. We verify your identity by asking you to provide personal identifiers that we can match against information we may have collected from you previously. We may need to follow up with you to request more information to verify identity. We will not use personal information we collect in connection with verifying or responding to your request for any purpose other than responding to your request.
