NYCASTINGS.COM provides a way for actors and persons who wish to cast actors to contact each other. In order to facilitate these contacts, people using NYCASTINGS.COM must be able to learn about each other. Therefore, if you post your actor's profile on NYCastings.com, the profile information you provide will be available to the appropriate users of NYCASTINGS.COM, and will become available immediately. It is not considered private or confidential. Therefore, NYCASTINGS.COM insists that you do not provide any information which you wish to remain confidential. While you will have the ability to edit your profile and change the information you make available, NYCASTINGS.COM cannot provide any guarantee that agencies and others looking to cast actors will not view, print, remember or otherwise retain the information you originally provided. Moreover, NYCASTINGS.COM cannot provide any guarantee that such users will not disclose this information to unauthorized third persons.

In contrast, your financial information will be utilized solely for the purpose of billing you for the services you sign up for, and will be disclosed only to valid financial institutions, credit card companies, etc. for this purpose.
