Who we are
MOAM, Making of a Mogul (“MOAM,” “we”), is a New York creative-talent directory and culture site founded and run by Damian Corbett. For privacy questions or requests, email privacy@makingofamogul.com.
What we collect
Information you give us:
- Your email address and name if you join the newsletter or contact us
- Profile details if you are listed: name, role, borough, bio, portfolio images, credits, social links, and any contact details you choose to show
- Details you send with a casting post, event listing or sponsorship inquiry
- Giveaway entries, once giveaways run and under their own official rules
- Payment details for paid features, once those exist. Payments are expected to be handled by an outside payment processor, and we do not plan to store full card numbers
Information collected automatically: basic technical data such as IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, and cookies. We will list the specific analytics and cookie tools we use here once they are set up.
Public information
Profile information you submit is meant to be public in the directory. Do not submit anything you do not want others to see. You can ask us to edit or remove your profile at any time.
How we use it
- To run the directory, casting board, events calendar and site
- To review listings and posts
- To send the newsletter and other emails you asked for
- To answer your messages
- To run giveaways under their official rules
- To keep the site secure and prevent abuse
- To understand how the site is used and improve it
Who we share it with
We use service providers to run MOAM, such as web hosting, email and newsletter tools, form tools, payment processing and analytics. They may handle your information only to provide their services to us. We may also share information if the law requires it, to protect people or the site, or if MOAM is transferred to a new owner.
Our current intention is not to sell your personal information. If that changes we will update this page first. Confirm with counsel
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any issue, or by emailing newsletter@makingofamogul.com. We may still send messages about your account or a request you made.
Cookies
The site may use cookies to work properly and, if you agree, for analytics. A cookie notice and settings will be added before launch.
How long we keep it
We keep information for as long as we need it for the purposes above, then delete or anonymize it. Newsletter subscribers stay on the list until they unsubscribe. Listing information stays until the listing is removed. Retention periods to be set.
Your choices
You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you by emailing privacy@makingofamogul.com. We will respond to privacy requests within the time required by applicable law. We may need to confirm who you are first, and the law may limit what we can delete.
Ages
MOAM is for adults. Talent listed in the directory must be 18 or older, and the site is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, email privacy@makingofamogul.com and we will look into it.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no website or email system is completely secure.
Links to other sites
MOAM links to other sites, including Instagram and ticketing sites. They have their own privacy practices and we are not responsible for them.
Changes
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows when it last changed. If the changes are significant, we will say so on the site.
