Last Updated: August 21, 2026
BLOOM – The Next Generation Runway (“BLOOM,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects the privacy of our participants, parents, guardians, website visitors, designers, partners, and guests.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information submitted through our website, registration forms, auditions, events, and related communications.
Information We Collect
We may collect information including:
- Parent or guardian name and contact information
- Participant/model name and age
- Email address and telephone number
- City, province/state, and country
- Participant measurements, clothing/shoe sizes, and other information required for casting, fittings, or runway participation
- Photographs, videos, portfolio images, or audition submissions
- Registration and participation information
- Communications sent to BLOOM
- Transaction and payment-related information
Because many BLOOM participants are minors, registration and participation information must be submitted or authorized by a parent or legal guardian where required.
How We Use Information
Information collected by BLOOM may be used to:
- Process audition and event registrations
- Review casting and audition submissions
- Communicate with parents, guardians, participants, designers, and event partners

Payments
Payments made through our website may be processed by third-party payment providers, including Stripe.
BLOOM does not directly store complete credit or debit card information. Payment information is handled by the applicable payment processor according to its own privacy and security policies.
Children and Youth Participants
BLOOM is a youth-focused fashion and runway event.
When personal information relating to a minor is required, we expect it to be provided or authorized by the participant's parent or legal guardian.
Parents and guardians may contact BLOOM with questions regarding information submitted about their child.
Photography and Video
BLOOM events, auditions, rehearsals, workshops, fittings, and related activities may be photographed or recorded.
Where applicable, appropriate participant and/or parent/guardian permissions and releases may be obtained regarding the use of photographs or video for event documentation, promotional materials, social media, websites, editorial coverage, advertising, and other BLOOM-related purposes.
Specific photography or media permissions may also be addressed separately in registration forms, participation agreements, or media releases.
Sharing of Information
BLOOM does not sell personal information.
Information may be shared when reasonably necessary with service providers or professionals assisting us with event operations, including payment processors, website providers, photographers, videographers, event venues, production personnel, designers, and other service providers.
We may also disclose information where required by law or where reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of BLOOM, our participants, or others.
Data Security
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information in our possession.
However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Retention of Information
Personal information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to administer BLOOM events, maintain business and financial records, meet legal obligations, and resolve disputes.
Your Privacy Rights
Parents, guardians, participants, and website users may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information, subject to applicable legal and record-keeping requirements.
Third-Party Services
Our website may use third-party services such as website hosting, payment processing, analytics, email, forms, or social-media platforms.
Those third parties may process information according to their own privacy policies.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
BLOOM may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Updates will be posted on our website with a revised “Last Updated” date.
