Our members have the right at any time to the deletion of their personal data and to withdraw consent for its use.   Personal data will be deleted once the purpose for which we hold the data has ended.  Some personal data of former members may be retained in order to process payments received.  Members and former members may, at any time, request a copy of all information about them that we hold, and to have that information corrected.  

The data the agency will hold may include personal likenesses, names (inc spouse or partner), addresses (postal and email), phone numbers, National Insurance Number, Passport information, bank details, date of birth, marital status and disability. 

We will collect only the personal data that is needed for contracts and contact information for employers of PAA members that may require it, in relation to the acting profession.  Personal data will not be supplied to third parties not connected to our professional services without the consent and permission of the member(s) concerned.

Access to, and use of, personal data is provided only to PAA members and to any non-member who has been engaged by PAA to provide professional agency services.  The data is kept and stored in devices that require authorised sign in. Access is via password protected programs.
