4. Meta Custom Audiences and Advertising

We use Meta’s Customer List Custom Audiences feature to deliver targeted advertising on Facebook and Instagram. This means we may upload hashed contact information — such as names, email addresses, and phone numbers — to Meta to identify and serve ads to existing or prospective Hoochenanny attendees.

By providing your contact information to Hoochenanny Festival, you acknowledge that your information may be used in this manner. The following applies to our use of this feature:

Before upload, your contact information is hashed (converted into an anonymized code). Meta uses this hashed data only for the purpose of matching it to existing Meta users to create an audience for advertising.
Meta does not share your hashed contact information with third parties or other advertisers, and deletes it after the matching process is complete.
Meta will not use your information to build interest-based profiles on our behalf or append it to their broader user data outside of providing advertising services to us.
Meta offers tools that allow users to understand why they are seeing specific ads and to control their ads experience. You can manage your ad preferences directly through your Facebook or Instagram account settings.
We will not include in any customer list information we know or reasonably should know relates to children under the age of 13, sensitive financial or health information, or other categories of sensitive personal data.
If you have opted out of having your data used for targeted advertising, we will honor that request and will not include your information in any customer list uploaded to Meta.

Our use of Meta’s Customer List Custom Audiences feature is governed by Meta’s Customer List Custom Audiences Terms, and to the extent applicable, Meta’s Data Processing Terms. We have accepted these terms on behalf of Hoochenanny Festival. For more information about how Meta processes data, please visit Meta’s Privacy Policy at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/.
