What type of Personal Information does Canad Inns collect and how?
Canad may collect your Personal Information through the following means:
Identification (“ID”) Verification
In compliance with the Liquor Control Act (Manitoba), Canad must ensure staff request proof of age to ensure no person under the age of 18 years is allowed to enter a beverage room or is served liquor. Canad also has a legal duty to maintain a safe and secure environment under The Occupiers` Liability Act (Manitoba).
In order to avoid having to determine if someone is a “youthful-looking” person or whether or not someone has been previously asked for proof of age, Canad has implemented a policy for its beverage rooms whereby all patrons have their ID as proof of age checked at the entrance. In accordance with the Licensee Field Manual prepared by the Manitoba Liquor Control Commission (the MLCC), the only forms of ID that are acceptable are a valid Manitoba driver’s license, MLCC photo-identification card, Canadian Citizenship card, Armed Forces Identification card, valid passport, Indian Affairs Status card, valid photo driver’s license issued by another province or state and valid Canadian Firearms license. In addition, the MLCC requires a beverage room to employ measures to verify ID to ensure that it is authentic and issues bulletins regarding procedures for checking ID.
It is Canad’s policy to have all its patrons produce photo ID as proof of age and for security purposes. Canad requires that all IDs be checked by our staff.
If a guest is suspected of presenting misused, altered, or forges ID, a Confiscated ID Form will be completed by Canad staff, which will include details of the incident and may include that patron’s Personal Information.
Our gaming lounges are also required, under provincial and federal laws, to request proof of age to ensure that no person under the age of 18 years is allowed to enter.
Canad may also require photo ID before issuing a loyalty card, such as the Canad Inns Loyalty Card, or permitting a customer who may lose or misplace their cards from having someone else redeem their points.
Master Barring List
As part of Canad’s commitment to provide a secure and safe environment for you, other patrons and customers and our employees, Canad maintains a Master Barring List of individuals who are not entitled to enter Canad’s premises.
Individuals involved in serious incidents that are determined to be prejudicial to the safety and security of patrons and staff, including serious misconduct, and criminal or otherwise illegal activity, are placed on the Master Barring List.
The information contained in the Master Barring List is as follows:
- Name of individual(s);
- Date of birth;
- Date of incident;
- Location of incident;
- Type of incident;
- Barring expiry date
- Canad’s Vice President of Security, Safety and Loss Prevention (“VPSS”), or another appointed Manager, shall determine whether an individual is to be included on the Master Barring List, and if so, the barring expiring date (which may include a permanent banning of the individual).
Upon the barring expiry date being reached, the individual’s personal information is removed from the Master Barring List.
The information on the Master Barring List is only used for the purpose of preventing individuals who are on the List from attending Canad’s premises.
Photography
Photographs may occasionally be taken of patrons by Canad Inns staff in the following circumstances:
- Photographs taken by Canad solely of draw or jackpot winners and spouses/significant others (who consent in writing to their picture being taken);
- Photographs taken by Canad inside our premises for publicity purposes and advertising campaigns (who consent in writing to their picture being taken);
- In limited situations, entertainers will have their performances videotaped and/or photographed. When this is happening, we notify guests through signage and/or an announcement at the beginning of the performance.
Video Surveillance
In order to assist Canad Inns in complying with all government requirements Canad may implement video surveillance technology to monitor certain areas of premises. Video surveillance technology is used to protect you, Canad Inns, and our employees against potential violations of criminal and/or civil laws. Surveillance camera output is monitored only by Canad Inns surveillance and security personnel, authorized Canad Inns officers or directors, and regulatory authorities in a protected and secure environment.
When does Canad Inns disclose your Personal Information?
Canad Inns does not disclose personal information to third parties for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with consent or as required or permitted by law. In situations where we disclose personal information in accordance with this Privacy Code to third parties, we do not disclose more information than is required and, where it is reasonable and practical to do so, enter privacy agreements with third parties with whom we disclose Personal Information.
How does Canad Inns safeguard your Personal Information?
Canad uses various means to help safeguard your Personal Information. Only authorized employees and agents have access to Personal Information. Canad employees who have access to Personal Information receive training regarding privacy protection. All computers on which Personal Information is stored are password protected. Canad uses data encryption to increase the security of the Personal Information you provide via our website.
