TimmyChu Studios PRIVACY POLICY 

 

This website is owned and operated by TimmyChu Studios (“TCS”, “our”, “we” or “us”) and 

accessible at URLTimmyChu.com (or such other URL that TCS may use to provide this website from time  to time). TCS is the controller of all personal information collected on this website. 

We believe strongly in protecting the privacy of all website users (“you”, “yours”) and this notice sets out 

how we use your personal data (“personal information”). 

 

Your consent 

By registering on this website or otherwise, you consent to the collection, use and transfer of your personal 

information under the terms of this privacy policy.  

Where you are a Minor, your Parent acknowledges Parental Responsibility for you and accepts the terms of 

this privacy policy on the same terms (and adopting here the same definitions of ‘Minor’, ‘Parent’ and 

‘Parental Responsibility’ included and) set out in our Terms of Use 

What personal information do we gather from you? 

We gather personal information such as contact names, birth dates, e-mail addresses, addresses, mobile 

telephone numbers, job/talent descriptions, photographs, and your comments and/or messages (possibly 

including details of your qualifications, experience and related statistics) that you provide voluntarily when 

you fill in appropriate sections of our website. For example when you complete our respective on-line 

registration and Contact Us forms in order to provide information about products and/or services you wish to 

supply to us and/or products and/or services you wish to purchase from us, and when you provide and/or 

request details of your/our products and services, you provide us with personal information which we hold 

and use for the purposes set out in the next section. 

Use of your personal information 

Our main aim in gathering your personal information is to provide you with a customised service. 

We will process all the personal information we collect and hold on you fairly and in accordance with 

applicable law. As further explained in this privacy policy, we will ensure the quality and security of your 

personal information (even if the personal information are transferred to third party organizations 

or elsewhere, as set out below); and we will fully respect your rights, interests and fundamental freedoms 

with regard to your personal information. 

We will only collect, record, process and store data which are needed to fulfil our contractual obligations 

towards you, our customers, our partners within the TCS (as defined below) and the customers of 

our partners; to serve other legitimate business interests such as credit assessment or marketing; or to comply 

with legal requirements.  

Specifically, if you (whether on your own or another’s behalf) fill in your details on for example our 

respective on-line registration and Contact Us forms, we use your personal information in order that we can contact you and respond to any questions, inquiries and needs that you may have and we will send to you by 

one or more of mail, telephone, fax, automated telephone call, e-mail, SMS text message or other electronic 

means marketing information and news, for example, relating to new product and/or service offerings, 

special offers, competitions and other promotions and offers, as requested by you or that we consider may be 

of interest to you. We also use your personal information so that we can carry out your requests by you for 

our provision of services or our procurement of such services by one or more of our partners within TCS (as defined below). If you purchase products and services by telephone, on-line or face to face as 

appropriate and available from time to time, we collect data so that the products and/or services can be 

supplied to you and services performed as efficiently as possible. We may also use aggregate personal 

information and statistics for the purposes of monitoring website usage in order to help us develop the 

website and our products and services and may provide such aggregate personal information to third parties. 

These statistics will not include any data that can be used to identify any individual. 

If we are collecting personal information from you on behalf of a selected third party organization outside of TCS (as defined below) we will identify that selected company and explain that we are acting as the agent (or "processor", if appropriate) 

for that other third party organisation. If we have obtained personal information on you other than directly 

from you, we will inform you of this as soon as practicable after we have entered the personal information in 

our files or computers (unless you were already aware of the fact). We may also record or monitor telephone 

calls to and from any of the parties within TCS (as defined below) without notification, for staff 

training and quality control purposes. 

If, at some time in the future, we wish to use your personal information in ways other than those set out in 

this privacy policy and requiring your prior consent, then we will notify you about this and seek your 

permission to do so. 

Sharing of personal information 

We may share personal information within the TCS Network (“TCS Network”); by this expression, we mean 

the TCS group, and each and any of TCS group’s subsidiaries, together with its officers, employees, licensee 

agents, other agents, distributors, consultants, suppliers, hirers, customers and certain selected third party 

organizations. The TCS Network will process your personal information in accordance with this privacy 

policy and all privacy and communications legislation. 

Those selected third party organisations are either  our partners who perform a function relating to our 

purchasing or provision of products and services, promotions and/or offers, or  are agencies and suppliers 

whom we have retained to assist us to more effectively fulfil orders, manage and conduct our business 

generally, provide technical assistance and support and perform other functions to support our marketing 

activities. 

All selected third party organisations may have access to personal information if needed to perform such 

functions, but will only be permitted by us to use such personal information for the purpose of performing 

that function (which may include one to which you have expressly given your consent) and not for any other 

purpose. 

In order to provide products and/or services to  you, we do envisage our wishing to transfer personal 

information about you to any member or members  of the TCS Network, data 

processing agencies ("processors"), selected companies or third party organizations, technical processing or other legitimate purposes.   If we transfer your data to agencies or third 

parties organizations, we require similar, binding contractual undertakings, and we monitor 

compliance. Our selected companies have agreed to adopt equivalent measures. 

Of course if we need your further specific and express consent to  do this, we will obtain it before 

transferring any personal information.  

In all cases, any use of your personal information by the TCS Network which has been instigated by us (as 

opposed, for example, to a promotional partner), will comply with this privacy policy. 

Occasionally, with your permission and depending on the purpose for and context in which you gave that 

permission, we will send to you by one or more of mail, telephone, fax, automated telephone call, e-mail, 

SMS text message or other electronic means marketing information and news, for example, relating to new 

product and/or service offerings, special offers, competitions and other promotions and offers. This may 

include our sending to you marketing information for the products and/or services of a promotional selected 

third party organisation on that selected third party organisation's behalf. 

Also, you acknowledge that we reserve the right to use or 

disclose any personal information as needed to satisfy any law, regulation or legal request, to protect and 

defend the integrity of the website (including to enforce the Terms of Use) and you, to fulfil your requests 

and/or to cooperate in any law enforcement or regulatory investigation. 

Further, we may seek data on your racial or ethnic  origins, political opinions, religious or other beliefs, 

trade-union membership, physical or mental health, sex life or criminal convictions. When we do collect 

such data, it will be limited to data which are: 

required to be kept by law  

needed for legal proceedings or to establish, exercise or defend legal rights (including protection against 

fraud)  

clearly and strictly necessary to fulfil a contract between you and us (or between you and a third party 

organization we represent) 

or 

needed to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another person (for instance, if medical data are 

urgently required after an accident and you cannot give your consent). 

Save for this, we do not transfer or disclose personal information we have collected from you in connection 

with our website activities, to third parties outside the TCS Network. 

Please note that if we are, in turn, a promotional selected third party organisation of an unrelated third party 

organisation (for example where we are not asking you to submit any personal information to us but are 

simply providing personal information on our website) and a link exists to that other third party 

organisation's web site where one must visit to take part in that third party organisation's promotion, offer or 

other activity, then the privacy policy of that other third party organisation will apply instead of ours. 

Whilst we make every effort only to tie-in with reputable third party organisations which have a similar high 

regard for your privacy, you should make sure you are aware of what their privacy policies say, as we are 

not responsible for the policies and practices of other companies, including those of other members of the 

TCS  Network. If, in the future, a third party acquires TCS or substantially all of its assets (whether by merger, acquisition, 

reorganisation or otherwise) customer information, including personal information, may well be one of the 

transferred assets.
