Privacy Policy

Privacy Practices for the Future Play Festival Website and Related Digital Services

Operator: CINEMATIC
Website: futureplayfestival.com
Effective: August 10, 2026

Scope: This Privacy Policy explains how CINEMATIC handles personal information through futureplayfestival.com, linked forms, campaign landing pages, and related digital communications. Separate providers may control ticketing, payments, tournament platforms, social media, or other linked services.

1. Who We Are

CINEMATIC (“Cinematic,” “Future Play,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the Future Play Festival website and related digital services.

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you:

Use futureplayfestival.com
Submit a form
Sign up for updates
Interact with our digital advertising
Use another digital service that links to this Privacy Policy

We refer to these collectively as the “Services.”

This Privacy Policy does not govern an independent third party’s website, application, ticketing checkout, tournament platform, social-media service, or other service. Please review the privacy notice presented by that third party.

2. Personal Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with us, which features are available, and the choices you make. We may collect the categories described below. We do not necessarily collect every example from every person.

Identifiers and Contact Information

Examples include your name, email address, telephone number, postal address, and account or registration identifiers.

We may use this information to respond to inquiries, send requested updates, and administer registrations, tickets, promotions, and support.

Device, Internet, and Activity Information

Examples include your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, clicks, dates and times, and cookie or advertising identifiers.

We may use this information to operate and secure the Services, perform analytics, measure campaigns, personalize content and advertising, and prevent fraud.

Commercial and Transaction Information

Examples include ticket or merchandise selections, transaction status, purchase history, and the use of discounts or promotions.

We may use this information to process and support transactions, operate events, maintain accounting records, and perform analytics. Payment-card data is generally collected by payment providers rather than directly by us.

Approximate Location

This may include a general location inferred from your IP address or device settings.

We may use this information to localize content, understand our audiences, maintain security, perform analytics, and support advertising.

Communications and Submissions

Examples include messages, form entries, survey responses, feedback, photographs, videos, and contest or creator submissions.

We may use this information to respond to you, administer opportunities, moderate content, and promote Future Play when permission or context allows.

Event and Competition Information

Examples include ticket or credential status, team or school affiliation, eligibility information, results, and prize-administration details.

We may use this information to administer attendance, tournaments, promotions, safety procedures, and prizes, as well as to satisfy legal and tax obligations.

Preferences and Inferences

Examples include your interests, communication preferences, audience segments, and likely event or content interests.

We may use this information to personalize experiences, analyze audiences, and support marketing and advertising.

Sensitive Personal Information

We generally do not intend to collect precise geolocation, government identification numbers, account passwords for third-party services, payment-card numbers, health information, biometric information used for identification, or other sensitive personal information through the public website.

If an event, competition, prize, accessibility request, safety process, or legal requirement calls for sensitive information, we will seek to limit its collection and provide any additional notice or obtain any consent required by law.

3. Sources of Information

We collect personal information from:

You, when you submit forms, sign up for updates, contact us, purchase or register through a linked process, enter a promotion, submit content, or otherwise communicate with us
Your browser or device through cookies, pixels, tags, software development kits, logs, and similar technologies
Ticketing, payment, tournament, registration, event, customer-support, email, website-hosting, analytics, and advertising providers
Partners such as venues, schools, teams, sponsors, exhibitors, agencies, media partners, promoters, artists, and activation operators, where permitted
Publicly available sources and social-media services, including when you engage with an official Future Play account or public post

4. How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

Provide, operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the Services
Respond to inquiries and provide customer, attendee, partner, vendor, sponsor, or registration support
Send announcements, ticket information, event updates, offers, and other marketing communications consistent with your choices
Administer tickets, registrations, tournaments, promotions, contests, creator opportunities, credentials, prizes, and event logistics
Understand audience engagement, website performance, traffic sources, campaign results, and user preferences
Select, deliver, measure, and improve advertising, including interest-based or cross-context behavioral advertising where permitted
Personalize content and recommendations
Protect the Services, users, attendees, partners, and the public
Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, and violations
Comply with legal, tax, accounting, contractual, insurance, safety, and regulatory requirements
Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims and enforce our agreements

5. Cookies, Google Analytics, Meta, and Advertising

We and our providers use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, logs, and similar technologies to:

Operate the Services
Remember your choices
Understand usage
Secure the website
Measure campaigns
Support advertising

These technologies may collect device and activity information and associate it with cookie identifiers, advertising identifiers, or information held by the provider.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors find and use the Services, measure traffic and engagement, and improve content and campaigns.

Google may collect information such as:

IP address
Device and browser information
Approximate location
Referring source
Pages viewed
Interactions
Timestamps

Google processes this information under its own terms and privacy practices. We configure and use Google Analytics subject to our consent settings and applicable law.

Do not place information such as an email address or telephone number in a website URL or another field that could be transmitted to analytics providers.

Meta Pixel and Meta Advertising

We use or may use Meta business tools, including the Meta Pixel, to:

Measure website activity resulting from advertisements
Create or refine audiences
Attribute conversions
Limit repetition
Deliver or improve advertising on Facebook, Instagram, and other services

Meta may receive device and activity information, event data such as page views or form-related events, cookie or advertising identifiers, and—where configured and permitted—hashed contact information used for matching.

Meta processes this information under its own terms and privacy policy.

Your Choices

Where required, non-essential analytics and advertising technologies should not be activated until you make a choice through the cookie banner or privacy-preferences tool.

You can revisit available settings through the “Cookie Settings” or “Your Privacy Choices” link on the website. You may also adjust your browser settings, use controls offered by Google or Meta, or use industry opt-out tools.

Blocking cookies may affect website features, and browser settings may not control all technologies.

We treat a qualifying browser-based opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, as a request to opt out of sale or sharing for the browser or device from which it is sent, as required by applicable law.

Traditional “Do Not Track” signals are not standardized. Except where a signal is legally recognized as an opt-out preference signal, the Services may not respond to it.

6. How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to:

Service providers and contractors that support hosting, forms, email, customer service, analytics, advertising, fraud prevention, security, ticketing, payments, tournament administration, event operations, and professional services
Event and program partners—including venues, ticketing and tournament operators, schools or teams, sponsors, exhibitors, activation operators, agencies, promoters, and prize providers—when needed to fulfill a request, administer a program, or operate an event
Advertising, analytics, and social-media companies, including Google and Meta, as described above and subject to your choices and applicable law
Law enforcement, regulators, courts, governmental authorities, rights holders, insurers, and other parties when we believe disclosure is required or appropriate for legal compliance, safety, security, fraud prevention, or the protection of rights
A buyer, investor, lender, successor, or adviser in connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, sale, bankruptcy, or transfer of all or part of our business or assets
Other parties at your direction, with your consent, or as clearly disclosed when you provide the information

We do not sell personal information for money.

However, some disclosures of identifiers and device or internet-activity information to advertising and analytics partners may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or use for targeted advertising under certain state privacy laws, even when no money is exchanged.

You may opt out as described in Sections 5 and 10.

7. Third-Party Ticketing, Registration, and Payments

Ticket purchases, tournament registration, merchandise, hotel or travel bookings, and similar transactions may occur through third-party services.

Those providers may collect payment information, identity or eligibility information, and other details directly from you, either as independent businesses or as our service providers.

We may receive information such as:

Your name and contact details
Ticket or registration status
Selected products
Transaction amount
Eligibility information
Support history

We generally do not receive full payment-card numbers. The third parties’ own privacy policies govern information they control.

8. Retention

We retain each category of personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

Provide requested services
Administer events and promotions
Maintain business and tax records
Resolve disputes
Enforce agreements
Protect security
Satisfy legal obligations

Retention periods vary based on:

The nature and sensitivity of the information
The relevant relationship or transaction
Operational needs
Consent or communication preferences
Applicable limitation periods
Legal requirements

We delete or deidentify information when it is no longer reasonably necessary, subject to lawful exceptions and backup cycles.

9. Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information in a manner appropriate to its nature.

No security measure or transmission method is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for using caution when sending information online and for protecting any credentials or ticket links issued to you.

10. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and subject to legal exceptions, you may have the right to:

Request access to or confirmation of the personal information we hold about you
Request correction or deletion
Obtain a portable copy of your information
Opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising
Limit certain uses of sensitive personal information
Withdraw consent
Appeal a decision
Receive nondiscriminatory treatment for exercising a privacy right

To submit a request, email Support@wearecinematic.com or call (636) 388-8733.

Please describe the right you wish to exercise and provide enough information for us to identify the relevant records. We will use information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and authority. We may deny or limit a request where permitted by law.

An authorized agent may submit a request where applicable, but we may require proof of authorization and identity verification.

You may opt out of marketing email at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the message.

To opt out of advertising-related sale, sharing, or targeted advertising through cookies and similar technologies, use the “Your Privacy Choices” or “Cookie Settings” link on the website or enable Global Privacy Control in a supported browser.

If the opt-out tool uses a cookie, clearing your cookies or using another browser or device may require you to renew your choice.

11. California Privacy Notice

This section supplements the Privacy Policy for California residents.

Depending on our activities and whether the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) applies to us, California residents may have the right to:

Know about and access personal information
Correct or delete personal information
Obtain information about the collection and disclosure of personal information
Opt out of sale or sharing
Limit certain uses of sensitive personal information
Receive equal service and pricing when exercising these rights

These rights are subject to applicable exceptions.

The categories of personal information we may collect are described in Section 2. The sources of that information are described in Section 3. Our business or commercial purposes are described in Sections 2 and 4. The categories of recipients are described in Section 6.

We may disclose the listed categories for business purposes to the recipients described in Section 6.

We do not sell personal information for money. Advertising-related disclosures of identifiers and internet or electronic-network activity information to analytics, advertising, and social-media partners may, however, constitute sale or sharing under California law.

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 without any affirmative authorization required by law.

California’s “Shine the Light” law may allow California customers to request information about certain disclosures of personal information to third parties for those parties’ own direct-marketing purposes.

Send qualifying requests to Support@wearecinematic.com with “Shine the Light” in the subject line.

12. Children’s Privacy

The Services are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information online from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent where required.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through the Services, please contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.

Teenagers should use the Services with the involvement of a parent or guardian and should avoid posting personal information publicly.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the Services, technologies, business practices, or law.

The “Effective” date identifies the latest revision. We will provide additional notice of material changes when required, such as by posting a notice on the Services or seeking renewed consent.
