The VLAST Platform lets you choose to publish information if you choose to, including personal data, that is visible to the general public. For example:
After completing a booking, Clients may write reviews for both VLAST and the Talent involved in the booking. Reviews are part of your public profile and may also be surfaced elsewhere on the VLAST platform (such as listing pages, blogs, case studies or landing pages).
Information you choose to share publicly on the VLAST Platform may be indexed through third party search engines. In some cases, you may opt-out of this feature by contacting us. If you change your settings or your public-facing content, these search engines may not update their databases. We do not control and are not responsible for the practices of third party search engines, and they may use caches containing your outdated information.
Messaging/Chat services
Talent, Managers, Admin and Clients may communicate with each other through our messaging service which is activated upon a booking and accessed within our Platform.
