The information you provide to PayPal when paying for your registration is governed by the PayPal Privacy Policy. We retain all information that PayPal provides us about the transaction.
In some circumstances we may implicitly or explicitly confirm whether you are a registered attendee or not, but this will generally be on the basis of a name you have chosen to be identified as in your involvement with Campfire Tails, such as your username or the “Furry Name” you chose to have printed on your badge.
In dealings with law enforcement, emergency responders, your emergency contact, insurance providers, or our payment processor (PayPal), we will refer to you by your legal name.
