We will not use personal information for purposes incompatible with those for which it was collected unless permitted or required by law.
6. Our lawful bases
Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information.
Depending upon the circumstances, we may rely upon:
Contract, where processing is necessary to enter into or perform an agreement with you.
Legitimate interests, where processing is reasonably necessary for the operation, development, security or promotion of Silverway and those interests are not overridden by your rights.
Consent, where you have given us permission to process information for a particular purpose.
Legal obligation, where processing is required to comply with the law.
Where we rely upon consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
7. Marketing communications
We may communicate with you about Silverway, its productions, services, events, opportunities and related activities where we are permitted to do so.
Where consent is required, we will obtain it before sending marketing communications.
You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in the communication or by contacting us.
Opting out of marketing communications will not prevent us from sending administrative or transactional communications where necessary.
8. Sharing information
We may share personal information where reasonably necessary with organisations including:
• production partners
• broadcasters, distributors and platforms
• professional advisers
• accountants and auditors
• insurers
• contractors and freelancers
• technology and website providers
• hosting providers
• payment processors
• communications and marketing providers
• analytics providers
• professional service providers
• companies working with Silverway on productions, projects or events
• regulators, courts, law enforcement agencies and public authorities where legally required.
We require organisations processing personal information on our behalf to handle it appropriately and in accordance with applicable law.
We do not sell personal information.
9. International transfers
Silverway may work with organisations, professionals and technology providers located outside the United Kingdom.
This may result in personal information being processed in other countries.
Where UK data protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we will take appropriate measures designed to ensure that personal information remains protected.
10. Data retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, accounting, contractual, production, insurance and reporting requirements.
Different categories of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
Information relating to productions and intellectual property may sometimes need to be retained for extended periods because productions, rights, contracts and ownership records can remain relevant for many years.
11. Security
We use reasonable organisational and technical measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
No online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore take appropriate care when providing information online.
12. Your rights
Depending upon the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights including the right to:
• request access to your personal information
• request correction of inaccurate information
• request deletion of personal information
• request restriction of processing
• object to certain processing
• request transfer of certain information
• withdraw consent where processing relies upon consent.
These rights are subject to legal limitations and exceptions.
To exercise a privacy right, contact us at hello@outwrdplus.com
We may need to verify your identity before responding.
You also have the right to make a complaint to the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
13. Children
Silverway's corporate website is not intended primarily for children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the corporate website except where necessary for a legitimate production, programme or activity and where appropriate safeguards and permissions are in place.
14. Third party websites
Our websites may contain links to websites, platforms or services operated by other organisations.
Silverway is not responsible for the privacy practices of those organisations. You should review their privacy information before providing personal information.
15. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to our business, services, technology or legal obligations.
The current version will be published on our website together with its latest revision date.

UNSOLICITED SUBMISSIONS POLICY
Last updated: 11 September 2026
Silverway Productions Limited develops and produces creative projects and works with writers, filmmakers, producers and other creative professionals.
As a result, Silverway and people working with Silverway may independently be developing projects, characters, concepts, themes, settings, formats or story elements that resemble material created by other people.
To protect both creators and Silverway, we maintain the following submissions policy.
1. We do not accept general unsolicited submissions
Silverway does not accept unsolicited:
• screenplays
• scripts
• treatments
• pitch documents
• pitch decks
• series bibles
• story ideas
• formats
• concepts
• characters
• synopses
• books or manuscripts
• artwork
• music
• recordings
• films
• television concepts
• audio drama concepts
• game concepts
• or other creative materials
through general Silverway email addresses, website contact forms, social media accounts or other general communication channels.
Please do not send creative material unless Silverway has expressly invited you to do so.
2. Authorised submission routes
Silverway may accept creative work through specific authorised routes.
These may include:
• competitions
• development programmes
• OutWrd initiatives
• calls for submissions
• educational or professional programmes
• development partnerships
• industry initiatives
• direct requests from authorised members of the Silverway team.
Where a particular opportunity has its own submission terms, those terms will apply to material submitted through that route.
3. Your ownership
Submitting material through an authorised Silverway route does not, by itself, transfer ownership of your intellectual property to Silverway.
Creators retain ownership of their work unless they subsequently enter into a separate written agreement providing otherwise.
Participation in a Silverway development activity also does not by itself make Silverway an owner, producer or co owner of a participant's project.
Any rights granted to Silverway must be established separately and expressly.
4. Similarity of ideas
Silverway develops and encounters a substantial number of creative projects.
It is therefore possible that Silverway may already be developing, or may subsequently develop, material containing ideas, themes, genres, characters, settings or other elements that resemble material submitted by another creator.
The existence of similarities does not by itself establish that Silverway has used or copied submitted material.
Nothing in this policy removes any intellectual property rights or legal remedies that a creator genuinely holds under applicable law.
5. Material sent without permission
If you send creative material to Silverway without an authorised submission route or invitation, Silverway is under no obligation to review, assess, retain, respond to or provide feedback on that material.
We may delete or dispose of unsolicited material without reviewing it.
Sending unsolicited material does not create a confidential, fiduciary, contractual, agency, development, producer, representation or other professional relationship between you and Silverway.
6. Confidential information
Do not send confidential creative or commercial information through general contact channels.
Where confidentiality is required in connection with a business or development relationship, appropriate arrangements should be agreed separately.
7. Representatives
Professional representatives, producers and organisations wishing to discuss projects with Silverway may contact us through our designated business contact channels.
Acceptance of correspondence does not constitute acceptance of creative material unless expressly confirmed.
8. Questions
Questions about whether a particular Silverway programme accepts submissions should be directed to the contact identified for that programme before creative material is sent.
PRODUCTION PRIVACY NOTICE
Last updated: 11 September 2026
1. About this notice

It should be read alongside our general Privacy Policy.

This notice may apply to:
• writers
• directors
• producers
• performers
• voice performers
• cast
• crew
• contributors
• interviewees
• contractors
• freelancers
• production personnel
• applicants and potential participants
• representatives and agents
• suppliers
• other people involved in a Silverway production.
3. Information we may process
Depending upon your involvement, we may process information including:
• name and contact information
• professional biography
• CV and employment history
• credits and professional experience
• photographs and headshots
• showreels and auditions
• voice recordings
• video recordings
• contractual information
• payment and invoicing information
• agent or representative information
• availability
• production correspondence
• emergency contact information where appropriate
• information required for insurance, health and safety or production administration
• information contained in material created during production.
Some productions may require additional categories of information. Where appropriate, participants will receive further information concerning that processing.
4. Why we process this information
We may process personal information to:
• evaluate potential collaborators and participants
• cast productions
• commission writers and other creatives
• engage cast, crew and contractors
• negotiate and administer contracts
• schedule and manage productions
• make payments
• meet insurance requirements
• manage health and safety
• communicate during production
• create and complete productions
• edit and post produce material
• distribute productions
• publicise and market productions
• administer rights and credits
• maintain production records
• comply with legal obligations
• establish and protect Silverway's legal and commercial rights.
5. Photography, audio and audiovisual material
Participation in a production may necessarily involve the creation and processing of photographs, audio recordings, audiovisual recordings, performances and other production materials.
Rights relating to performances, recordings and production materials will ordinarily be governed by the relevant production agreement, release, contributor agreement or other contract.
This Privacy Notice does not replace those agreements.
6. Legal basis
Depending upon the circumstances, we may process information because:
• it is necessary to enter into or perform a contract
• it is necessary for Silverway's legitimate business and production interests
• you have given consent
• processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation
• another lawful basis applies.
Where special category personal information is required, it will only be processed where an appropriate legal condition permits us to do so.
7. Who information may be shared with
Production information may be shared where appropriate with:
• production companies and production partners
• producers and production personnel
• broadcasters
• distributors
• exhibition and audio platforms
• sales agents
• financiers
• insurers
• professional advisers
• payroll and accounting providers
• casting professionals
• post production providers
• publicity and marketing providers
• technology providers
• contractors
• regulators and public authorities where required.
The nature of film and audio production means that some professional information, credits, photographs, recordings and promotional material may ultimately become public.
8. International productions
Silverway works internationally.
Production information may therefore need to be processed or transferred outside the United Kingdom.
Where data protection law requires safeguards for such transfers, appropriate measures will be used.
9. Retention
Production records may be retained for substantial periods.
This is necessary because Silverway may need to maintain evidence relating to copyright, contracts, permissions, releases, credits, payments, ownership, insurance, distribution and exploitation of productions.
Certain production records may therefore be retained for as long as the relevant production or associated rights continue to have legal or commercial significance.
10. Your rights
You may have rights concerning your personal information under applicable data protection law.
These rights are explained in Silverway's general Privacy Policy.
Certain rights may be limited where information must continue to be retained or processed for contractual, legal, intellectual property or production purposes.
