Competitors will be observed during the competition rounds by members of the MIMC judging panel. Judges may move around the competition floor to observe competitors throughout their treatment.
Each judge will independently assess competitors using the official MIMC judging criteria and scoring sheets. Assessment is based on five core areas:

Category-specific rules remain applicable throughout the judging process.

Photography, Video & Media
Photography and video recording may take place during the Mallorca International Massage Championship and related official MIMC activities.
MIMC may photograph or record participants during competition rounds, finals, award ceremonies and other official Championship activities. Where consent is required for a particular use, MIMC will seek the appropriate consent in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.
Voluntary Profile Photograph
Participants may choose to provide a professional profile photograph during registration for possible publication on the official MIMC website and MIMC's official promotional channels.
Providing a profile photograph is entirely optional and is not a requirement for registration or participation in the Championship.
Where a participant voluntarily uploads a photograph and gives permission for its use, MIMC may use that photograph together with the participant's name for purposes including:
Competitor profiles on the official MIMC website
MIMC official social-media channels
Championship promotional and marketing materials
Official MIMC communications
Future promotion of MIMC
Participants who choose to provide a photograph may withdraw their permission for future use by contacting MIMC at mallorcachampionship@yahoo.com. Withdrawal of permission does not affect any lawful use that took place before the withdrawal.
Event Photography & Video
Photography and video recordings may be made by MIMC or its authorised representatives during the Championship for purposes such as event documentation, reporting and promotion of MIMC.
Where a particular use of an identifiable individual's image, likeness or voice requires consent, MIMC will obtain that consent through the registration process or by another appropriate means.
MIMC will seek to use photographs and recordings in a professional and appropriate manner and will not intentionally use them in a misleading, defamatory or inappropriate context.
Participants may contact mallorcachampionship@yahoo.com with questions or concerns regarding the use of their image or recordings.
MIMC cannot guarantee that an image or recording can be completely removed after it has been published or shared by third parties, particularly where it has been reproduced, reposted or otherwise distributed independently of MIMC.

Where these providers process personal information on behalf of MIMC, appropriate contractual and data protection safeguards will be considered and implemented where required.
-
MIMC does not intend to make decisions about competitors or participants based solely on automated processing or profiling that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
Registration and eligibility decisions may involve manual review by the MIMC organising team, including review of insurance documentation and information supplied by the participant.
