5. Cookies, Analytics, and Website Technologies

Our website may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, embedded content, and similar technologies to help the site function, understand visitor activity, measure marketing performance, and improve the user experience.

These technologies may collect information such as your browser type, device, IP address, pages visited, referral source, and interactions with our website. You can adjust your browser settings to block or limit cookies, although some website features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

6. Payment Processing and Registration Platforms

Festival payments and registrations may be processed through third-party platforms, including payment processors, ticketing systems, form tools, or email marketing services. These providers may collect, process, and store personal information according to their own privacy policies and security practices.

MTF does not store full credit card numbers on its own systems. Please review the privacy policies of any third-party platforms used during checkout or registration.

• Website hosting, analytics, security, and technical service providers.

Service providers are expected to use personal information only for the services they provide to us and to protect it using appropriate safeguards.

8. Storage and Transfers Outside Québec or Canada

Some of our service providers may store or process personal information outside Québec or Canada. When information is processed in another jurisdiction, it may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.

Where applicable, we take reasonable steps to ensure that service providers protect personal information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable privacy requirements.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including festival administration, customer service, accounting, legal compliance, fraud prevention, security, and communication with subscribers who remain opted in.

10. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
