Privacy
MPNCC will act reasonably to ensure that any information you provide to us is not accessed by unauthorized persons. We do not sell or rent personally identifiable information to third parties.
Information You Provide to Us
We receive and store any information you knowingly provide to us. For example, by submitting a Contact Us form, we may collect your name, e-mail address, and phone number. Through our event ticketing, we may collect personal information such as your name, physical address, e-mail address, and phone number.
We may communicate with you if you’ve provided us the means to do so. For example, if you have requested to receive volunteering, membership, or event updates, we may send them to the e-mail you specified. If you do not want to receive communications from us, please use the Unsubscribe option (where available), or Contact Us to indicate your preference.
For large festivals and events being co-sponsored by Marshy Point and other organizations, contact information may be shared only to assist in the running of the event (e.g., coordinating vendors and performers).
We may also use your personally identifiable information when we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. For example, keeping records of our sales for tax compliance.
Information Collected Automatically
When you interact with our web site, we automatically receive and record information on server logs from your browser or device, which may include your IP address, geolocation data, device identification, “cookie” information, the type of browser and/or device you are using to access our site, and the page or feature you requested.
Cookies are essentially tokens of information, such as preferences and passwords, which some web servers collect from users when users access them. Those data are stored on a user’s hard drive and not on the web site’s server. Whenever a user visits a “cookie” site again, the server looks for its cookie on the hard drive and, if found, then reads the information it stored there. The information within a cookie is used to enhance the user’s interaction with the web site. There are parts of this web site that may use cookies. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of cookies.
If you click on a link to a third party web site or service, a third party may also transmit cookies to you. This web policy does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties.
Do Not Track Policy
Your browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of web sites and web applications and services that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and across different web sites.
We are not responsible for their privacy practices and policies, and whether third parties honor “Do Not Track” requests you have set using your browser or device.
Payments
This web site uses a third party, PayPal, to process payments made for products and services on this web site. Your credit card details are communicated directly from your browser to PayPal; we never see your full payment information. All online payments will be conducted in accordance with data security standards and your contact information is encrypted before being communicated with them.
We may store the tokens required to identify transactions with PayPal, issue refunds, and identify transactions made using PayPal. You may also receive an e-mail response from us after you complete a payment via PayPal.
Notice to California Residents
Subject to certain limits under California law, California residents may ask us to provide them with a list of categories of personal information that we have disclosed to third parties during the immediately preceding calendar year, and the identity of those third parties. To make this request, California residents may contact us.

Once you link to another site, you are subject to the disclaimers and security and privacy policies of the new site. Linking to these external sites does not constitute or imply an endorsement of the sites’ content by MPNCC.
