No Longer Uses MusicFestivalSuite.com
The Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival Board submitted notice of termination of their agreement with MusicFestivalSuite.com on April 25, 2022 effective immediately.
We are aware that this termination occured mid-way through the Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival, and we are saddened that their decision has caused you any inconvenience.
Your Private Information has been Sanitized From Our Servers
The protection of your personal information has always been paramount to MusicFestivalSuite.com. We immediately sanitized any of your personal information from our servers, and any information you previously submitted to those servers is unavailable to you, the Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival, and even the MusicFestivalSuite.com staff.
It is the protection of your personal information that brought us to this point. At the beginning of 2022 MusicFestivalSuite.com became aware of a large number of profiles that were created for minor entrants without their parents' express digital consent in direct contravention of privacy policies and provincial and federal legislation regarding online personal information privacy. After working for months with the Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival team to resolve the issue, it became obvious to us at MusicFestivalSuite.com that they were either incapable of or unwilling to resolve this issue.
At the end of March we provided the Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival with a deadline by which to bring themselves back into alignment with our standards and the standards set out in legislation for personal information protection. They instead chose to terminate the agreement with MusicFestivalSuite.com. The termination of our agreement has led us to sanitize your personal information from our system to ensure that is the case.

but we still wish you the best of the festival season.
