1. Who we are
For the purposes of this policy, the “data controller” of your personal information is:
- Trifid Media LLC — Dubai, United Arab Emirates (trading as Trimodels)
- Trifid Media (Australia) Pty Ltd — corporate affiliate, Commonwealth of Australia
- Primary contact: Trimodelsapps@gmail.com
References to “we”, “us” or “Trimodels” in this policy mean the entities above.
2. Personal information we collect
2.1 Information you provide directly
- Talent applicants: name, contact details, nationality, location, date of birth, gender, measurements (height, size, etc.), specialty, languages, photographs, video reels, social-media handles, and any additional information you choose to submit in your application.
- Booking clients: business name, contact name and details, billing information, project briefs and any references shared with us.
- General enquiries: name, email address and the content of your message.
2.2 Information collected automatically
- Device, browser and operating-system information.
- IP address (truncated where technically feasible) and approximate location.
- Pages viewed, referring URLs and session duration via cookies and similar technologies — see our Cookie Policy.
3. How we use personal information
We process personal information for the following purposes:
- To assess talent applications and to manage the talent roster.
- To respond to client booking enquiries, prepare shortlists, issue quotations and execute confirmed bookings.
- To administer contracts, payments and tax-reporting obligations.
- To operate, secure and improve our website.
- To send transactional communications and, where you have opted in, marketing communications about the agency.
- To comply with applicable laws of the United Arab Emirates and other jurisdictions in which we operate.
4. Legal bases
Depending on the activity, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:
- Performance of a contract (e.g. fulfilling a booking).
- Our legitimate interests (e.g. running and growing the agency, securing the site).
- Your consent (e.g. marketing emails, optional analytics cookies, publication of portfolio images).
- Compliance with a legal obligation.
5. Sharing of personal information
We may share personal information with:
- Vetted booking clients, only after you (the talent) have consented to a specific submission or where consent is implied by your active roster status.
- Service providers who help us run the business (hosting, IT, accounting, legal, payment processors). They are bound by contractual confidentiality obligations.
- Affiliates within the Trifid Media group.
- Authorities or regulators where required by law or to protect our legal rights.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with advertising networks.
6. International transfers
Because we operate between the UAE, Australia and clients worldwide, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. Where we do so, we put appropriate safeguards in place — for example contractual commitments equivalent to the standards required by the UAE Personal Data Protection Law and, where relevant, the EU GDPR.
7. Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes set out above, or for any longer period required by law (for example tax records). Inactive talent profiles are archived and may be deleted on request.
8. Your rights
Subject to local law (including the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45/2021 on Personal Data Protection and, where applicable, the EU GDPR), you have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Request deletion of your information, subject to our legitimate retention needs.
- Object to or restrict certain processing activities.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on your consent.
- Lodge a complaint with the competent data-protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, email Trimodelsapps@gmail.com.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information, including access controls, encryption in transit and supplier due-diligence. No system is perfectly secure; please notify us immediately if you suspect that your information has been compromised.
10. Children
The Trimodels roster represents talent of all ages, including children. Profiles for talent under 18 are managed under a dedicated guardian-consent framework — a parent or legal guardian must sign off on the profile, any image used and every individual booking. Sensitive information about minors is never published, and the relevant UAE child-protection regulations are applied to every engagement.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent version. Material changes will be highlighted on the site for a reasonable period.
