Before we get into all the technical, but super important stuff, we want you to know that you are our first priority. In fact, we built this ticketing portal with you in mind. We are a Not For Profit Registered Charity with a vision to bring people just like you together to experience some of the best Christian artists and speakers visiting our fine shores and those who live here – but who you just don’t know about yet!
We are committed to upholding your trust and keeping you in control of the personal information you share with us. For this reason it is important you know what information CMAA (Christian Media & Arts Australia – also known here as “MINTIX” and “we”), collects about you and how we go about using it.
Following is all the super important stuff that explains the detail. But if you have any further questions you can always contact us. The ways you can contact us are (strangely enough!) in the ‘Contact Us” tab.
OK…lets get to the super important stuff.
