A working partnership built around the individual. We help clients understand their options, present their work clearly, and make considered career decisions.

    We help refine headshots, reels, and resumes to present each performer accurately and professionally.

  3. Step 3

    Align the team

    We coordinate with agents and other representatives to keep career direction and opportunities aligned.

  4. Step 4

    Navigate the next stage

    We offer guidance as clients consider new roles, markets, formats, and career transitions.

  5. Step 5

    Review and adapt

    We stay in contact with clients and families, reviewing progress as goals and circumstances evolve.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 17, 2026

About this policy

This policy explains how Brilliant Talent Management, LLC, a California limited liability company (“BTM,” “we,” or “us”), handles personal information connected with this website and with representation inquiries from prospective adult and young performers. It does not cover our agreements or records with existing clients, and BTM does not provide financial or business-management services.

Information you send us

We do not collect submissions through a web form. Representation inquiries are made by email to info@brilliant-talent.com, and you choose what to include. This typically includes:

  • Professional name and city or market
  • Headshots and résumés
  • Links to reels or self-tapes
  • Your correspondence with us
  • For a minor, the parent or legal guardian’s name and contact details

We do not ask for, and you should not send, a full date of birth, a home address, Social Security or other government ID numbers, or bank or other financial information.

Information collected when you visit

This website is hosted and delivered through Cloudflare Pages. Hosting and delivery providers process technical information needed to deliver and secure the site, such as your IP address, browser and device type, and requested pages.

We use cookie-free Cloudflare Web Analytics to measure traffic and performance. If you accept optional analytics, Google Analytics measures visits, referral sources, and interactions such as biography opens, submission-guideline views, and contact-link clicks. We do not send submission materials, names of visitors, email addresses, or phone numbers as analytics event parameters. Advertising features and Google signals are disabled. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts, which receives technical information needed to deliver those font files, including your IP address and browser request information.

How we use information

  • To review representation inquiries and decide whether there may be a fit
  • To communicate with you, or with a parent or guardian, about an inquiry
  • To operate, secure, and improve this website

Sending a submission does not sign you up for marketing communications.

Who has access and when we share

Submissions are reviewed by Debbie Garner and authorized BTM managers.

Service providers. Our email is provided by Google Workspace. Our website is hosted and delivered through Cloudflare Pages. Google Analytics provides optional website measurement. Google Fonts supplies the website fonts. These providers process information as needed to deliver their services.

Industry contacts. We share a prospective client’s materials with casting directors, agents, or other industry contacts only with that adult’s permission, or with a parent or legal guardian’s permission for a minor.

Legal and safety disclosures. We may disclose information where required by law or legal process, or where we believe disclosure is needed to protect the safety of a child or another person or to protect our legal rights.

Cookies and your choices

Google Analytics loads only after you select Accept analytics. You can decline or change your choice through Analytics preferences in the footer. Your preference is saved in your browser. Withdrawing permission stops further Google Analytics measurement in that browser and removes the Google Analytics cookies accessible to this site; it does not automatically delete previously collected data. Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies. Hosting providers may use technical mechanisms to deliver and protect the service. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.

Young performers

Inquiries for anyone under 18 must be sent by a parent or legal guardian, using the adult’s own contact details. Children under 13 should not contact us or send information directly. If you believe a child has sent us information directly, please contact us at info@brilliant-talent.com so we can address it.

A parent or guardian may ask what information they sent about their child, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, as described below.

How long we keep information

If an inquiry does not lead to representation, we remove the submission materials from our active email and folders 12 months after our last substantive communication with you. We may keep information longer if you sign with BTM as a client, or where a legal obligation or dispute requires it. You may ask us to delete your materials sooner. Copies may remain in technical backups where removal is not technically practical, until they are overwritten in the ordinary course.

This period applies to prospective-client submissions only. Records for existing clients and website analytics data are handled separately.

Your requests

Adults, and parents or legal guardians on behalf of a minor, may ask to access, correct, or delete information they have sent us by emailing info@brilliant-talent.com. We may take reasonable steps to confirm your identity, or a parent or guardian’s relationship to a child, before acting on a request. We may need to keep some information where the law requires it or where an exception applies, and we will let you know if that affects your request.

Security

We take reasonable precautions appropriate to the information we handle, including limiting access to submissions to authorized BTM personnel and relying on established providers for email and hosting. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so please send only relevant professional materials.

This site links to our Instagram and Facebook pages . Those services are governed by their own privacy policies once you visit them.

Changes to this policy

If we update this policy, we will post the revised version on this page and change the “Last updated” date above.
