Model release question

Short question regarding model releases: Who is going to be able to view the releases? Everyone? The person who bought it? Only Pond5 crew?
Got some actor shots ahead and being non professionals they want some reassurance. :)

Only Pond5 admins can view release forms. Buyers, if they ask, can get a version, but it will have the name and personal info blacked out to protect the privacy of the model.
Of course, if there is a legal dispute - which is what the model release is meant to prevent in the first place - then the release could become evidence in that. But as long as the model knows what the footage might be used for and is OK with that, and has signed the release form, then this is very unlikely.

Thanks, that's fine.
My actors were getting a bit worried because the Pond5 release mentioned the clips being used with the models real names. But I guess if noone knows the real names, that's rather unlikely to happen. :)
