Our Commitment to Privacy

You deserve to know how we collect and use the data you provide to us, and that’s what we are providing to you on this page. This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the MCC website, or the website of events. This notice was updated in June 2018 to reflect GDPR compliance standards.

How We Use Your Information

We use the data you provide to us for the following purposes:

Provide you with access to the content, products, services and events we produce.
Analyze profile or behavioural data to help us improve the products and services we offer to you.
In specific cases, we will be contractually obligated to share your data with one of our third-party partners (for example, clients, hotels, travel agents, service providers, destination CVBs and DMC affiliates). In these instances, we will make it clear that the data you share will be transferred to the third-party. You will always have the option to not have your data shared by not taking part in that specific program.

We will store this information to keep you informed about other relevant products that may be useful to you.

We will never use or share the information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above.

The information in the log files include your IP (internet protocol) address, your ISP (internet service provider), the browser you used to visit our site (such as Google Chrome or Firefox), your operating system (such as Windows 10 or Mac OSX), the time you visited our site and which pages you visited throughout our site.

We allow third-party companies to serve ads and/or collect certain anonymous information when you visit our website. These companies may use non-personally identifiable information (e.g., click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over) during your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you. These companies typically use a cookie or third-party web beacon to collect this information. To learn more about this behavioural advertising practice, you can visit networkadvertising.org.
