4. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the
purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for
the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is
required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal
requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal
information for longer than 2 years.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal
information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is
not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored
in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and
isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
5. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of
organizational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security
measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we
process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your
information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage
technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or
guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will
not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or
modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal
information, transmission of personal information to and from our Website is at
your own risk. You should only access the Website within a secure
environment.

are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor
dependent’s use of the Website. If we learn that personal information from
users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the
account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our
records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from
children under age 18, please contact us at sparklecityfest2024@gmail.com.

8. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile
applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can
activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online
browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform
technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been
finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any
other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be
tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow
in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this
privacy notice.

us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal
