Privacy

Protecting your privacy has always been a priority of the North York Astronomical Association.  Please be assured that all information about you and your family is kept strictly confidential and is collected, used and only disclosed, where necessary, to facilitate your participation in Starfest.

When you register online for Starfest, your credit card details are entered on Authorize.Net's secure payment page, never on Starfest's website.  Starfest's server never sees, stores, or transmits your credit card number, CVV, or expiry date.  Authorize.Net is a PCI DSS-validated payment processor wholly owned by VISA.

By registering for and participating in Starfest, I acknowledge that, while attending Starfest, photographs or videos of me and or my family members may be captured.  I grant NYAA irrevocable permission to use said photographs or videos for Starfest and NYAA promotional purposes, including posting to public social media sites, without restriction or compensation.  I waive any right to approve usage of any photographs or videos.
