Privacy should
feel straightforward.

Your portfolio starts private.

Your profile, media library, applications, and conversations are stored on the server. By default, your profile stays private. If you enable member discovery, signed-in members can search your professional profile, optional self-described traits, social links, and primary headshot. Your other files remain private. Public casting calls contain the project details, casting professional display name, and production company provided by the poster.

Private casting stays private.

Invitation-only calls are available to invitees, the posting team, and existing applicants. Premium calls are limited to eligible test members while billing is tested. Protected calls and their artwork are excluded from public casting pages, search indexes and sitemaps. Membership expiry does not erase existing applications or audition access.

You decide what goes into an application.

When you apply, the project owner receives a snapshot of your profile and access to the files you selected. Access to each original file is checked on the server, including video playback requests. A member cannot view another member’s library just by knowing a file link.

Delete, withdraw, and export.

You can permanently delete a file from your library, or withdraw an application to revoke future file access through that application. Files already downloaded by a recipient cannot be recalled. Profile information and messages previously submitted remain in the application record. You can export your profile, project records, submitted applications, media metadata, and messages you sent from your profile page.

Leaving Open Call.

Help & safety lets you delete your Open Call profile and original files. Applications are withdrawn, your authored messages are removed, and listings are closed. Published project records, support and moderation records, and correspondence authored by other people are retained for safety and recordkeeping. Your external sign-in provider account is not deleted. Downloaded copies cannot be recalled.

Audition materials.

Audition sides and self-tapes are shared only between the applicant and project owner. Withdrawing the application, cancelling a request, blocking a member, or deleting the source file revokes the corresponding future file access. Email alerts are optional and require connected delivery; email previews contain no private conversation or audition content.

Media storage.

Free accounts have 900 MB and Premium accounts have 4 GB shared across all their profiles, up to 500 files and 1 GB per file. Supported formats are JPEG, PNG, WebP, MP4, MOV, WebM, and PDF. Uploads use resumable chunks. Original files are stored without automatic video transcoding; H.264 MP4 is the most compatible playback choice.

Account access.

Sign in with your email, password and a verification code sent to your inbox. Passwords require at least 8 characters and are never stored in Open Call’s profile database.

Protection in practice.

The application checks account identity and resource ownership on the server, restricts cross-origin requests, limits upload sizes and write activity, and keeps private responses out of caches and search indexes. Private file links are not anonymous public links. These controls reduce risk; the service has not undergone an independent security audit, and no online system can guarantee that data will never be compromised.

Your circle stays yours.

Favorites and actor folders are private bookmarks, without public counts or notifications. Casting members can organize discoverable actors into personal folders for future projects. Saving someone does not send a connection request or grant access to their private files. Profiles that become unavailable are hidden from folders. Mutual connection requests are limited to opted-in actor-only accounts. Casting accounts, including dual-role accounts, cannot send or receive these requests. Project conversations stay attached to applications. Blocking removes connections and prevents member discovery and new messages between those members; it does not erase existing application records.

Imports and social links.

You can review pasted credits or import an Open Call JSON export into your profile draft, upload original headshots and PDF résumés you own, and link your IMDb, Backstage, Actors Access, and social profiles. The site does not currently fetch or synchronize those external profiles. Linked accounts are not independently verified.

Professional verification and private breakdowns.

Representatives can build a profile, browse public calls and prepare a private draft roster immediately. A professional reference and applicable licensing context receive manual review before invitations, private breakdown access, submissions or messaging. No government ID, selfie or document upload is routinely required. Draft roster entries are visible only to the representative; actors must accept invitations and separately authorize portfolio submissions. “Business details reviewed” describes checks performed and does not endorse a representative or grant a license. Casting Directors and Filmmakers can create profiles and drafts without government ID or selfie collection. First casting calls receive a manual publication review covering project details, compensation, casting contact and audition requirements. Pending calls stay private; review does not verify professional credentials or endorse a project. Previously collected casting IDs are no longer available for download. Applicants can permanently delete their old upload in Professional details, and the site owner can remove obsolete casting IDs from Casting call reviews. Licensing varies by jurisdiction. Claimed affiliations are checked separately and are not mandatory in every location. Evidence is private to the applicant and site owner and retained until replaced or the account is deleted. Decisions and review notes are recorded for accountability. Approval expires and may be revoked; Premium never bypasses verification.

Casting can make a breakdown public or restrict it to all reviewed representatives or selected reviewed representatives. Private breakdowns are excluded from public listings. Existing applicants retain access to their submitted roles after an access change. Access changes cannot recall downloaded copies.

Representative submissions and reports.

After accepting a representation connection, actors can separately authorize portfolio submissions. This lets that representative view portfolio files, including files not shared publicly, and select materials to send to casting. Actors can revoke this permission or end the connection at any time. Already submitted applications remain with casting until the actor withdraws them. Free representatives can export daily, weekly or monthly PDF reports of submissions they made, including actor, project, role, date and current status. Reports use UTC dates and exclude actor self-submissions. Historical submission records remain available to the submitting representative after a connection ends; private portfolio access does not.

Optional viewing insights.

Casting profiles can choose to share visits to actor details with the actor’s currently connected representatives. Sharing starts off. Premium representatives can see the casting profile name, visit counts, dates and approximate active viewing time. Repeat visits within one minute are combined; active time is capped at 30 minutes per visit. Anonymous public visits are not tracked. Reports cover at most 90 days; expired records are removed when analytics is used. Turning sharing off removes past viewing records. Ending a representation connection removes that representative’s access.

Only what the experience needs.

There is no advertising tracker or third-party font request in the site design. Notifications currently stay inside your workspace. Premium sales are not open. Authorized test accounts can use Stripe-hosted test checkout; Open Call stores billing customer and subscription references, membership status and renewal dates, and processed webhook IDs. Card numbers are handled by Stripe and are not stored by Open Call. Billing records remain after profile deletion for reconciliation; no automatic retention period is currently promised. Avoid putting sensitive identifiers, banking information, or home addresses in casting materials.

This page explains current product behavior. Help & safety in your workspace accepts support and privacy requests, member and listing reports, and account deletion. Requests are reviewed by the site owner; response times and automatic retention periods are not yet guaranteed.
