Terms of Use

Last updated: March 1, 2020

Thank you for visiting our website, mobile website, or mobile application ("app") (collectively, the "Platform").

Labatt Brewing Company Limited, Anheuser-Busch InBev and our subsidiary and affiliated entities, which include different brands, ("we", "us" or "our") value and respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how our brands collect, use, disclose and protect information when you visit or use our Platform, or otherwise interact with us.

Intended for Adults

The Platform is not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, persons under the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence. If you are under the age of majority and have entered this Platform by providing a false date of birth, you must immediately leave this Platform. Under no circumstances may you use this Platform or submit personal information to us if you are under the age of majority.

Collection and Use of Personal Information

Below are examples of how we collect and use personal information on our Platform.

Visit our Platform

In order to access our Platform, we may require you to enter your date of birth and jurisdiction of residence to verify that you are the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence in order to meet regulatory requirements.

Create an Account

To access and use our Platform, you may be required to create an account. When you create an account, we may collect personal information such as your first and last name, email address, birth date, gender (optional) and a password that you create. We use this information to create and administer your account and to provide the products and services you request. We strongly recommend that you do not disclose your password to anyone. We will never ask you for your password in any unsolicited communication (such as letters, phone calls or email messages). If you become aware of any unauthorized access to or use of your account, you are required to notify us immediately.

Purchase Products and Services

If you are making a purchase on the Platform, we (or our authorized third-party payment processor) may collect payment information (including billing address, credit card number, expiry data and CVV code) in order to process the transaction. In such event, it is our policy to redirect you to a payment processing portal hosted by a third-party payment processor. Please read the privacy policy on our payment processor's website regarding the use, storage and protection of your credit card information before submitting any payment information.

Marketing

If you choose to sign-up for or engage with our marketing communications, we may send you special offers, e-blasts, and information about other services that we believe may be of interest to you. We will collect certain information such as your name, date of birth (to verify your age), postal code (to verify your jurisdiction of residence) and email address. If you no longer wish to receive these communications, you may unsubscribe any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email or by contacting us at the contact information under "Contact Us" below. Please note that you may continue to receive certain transactional or account-related communications from us.

If you engage with any organic content, sponsored content and advertising content on social and digital channels such as engaging with an influencer's post, "liking" our posts, or watching content we've posted, we may collect information (e.g. likes, shares, and comments) for the purposes of evaluating the effectiveness of our marketing campaign, targeting future content in more relevant ways, or improving future marketing efforts.

We may also use services provided by third-party platforms (such as social media and other websites) to serve targeted advertisements on such platforms to you or others, and we may provide a hashed version of your email address or other information to the platform provider for such purposes. To opt-out of the use of your information for such purposes, please send a request using any of the methods set forth in the Contact Us section below.

Location Information

With your consent, we may collect your location information by accessing your device's GPS coordinates so that we can provide you with location-based services. You can opt-out of location tracking at any time by turning off your location services for the Platform in the settings of your device.

Push Notifications

If you provide your consent to receive push notifications, we may display push notifications on your mobile device such as welcome messages, product features and promotional offers. If you wish to stop receiving push notifications from us, you can turn off push notifications for the Platform in the settings of your device.

Contests, Promotions and Redemptions

When you enter a contest or participate in a promotion, we may collect your name, date of birth, address, phone number, email address, and other information you provide. We use this information to administer your participation in the contest or promotion and fulfil your prize. We may collect this information through our Platform or different devices, such as a tablet or other mobile device, including at events or venues as part of an on-site promotion or offline using forms or paper entries.

When you purchase a product or service you may also be provided with a redemption code that you can enter on our website or mobile website along with other information such as your name and email address to redeem promotional merchandise or services. In addition to using this information for your participation in a contest or promotion, we may also use it for the purposes of evaluating the effectiveness of a contest or promotion, targeting future marketing content in more relevant ways, or improving future marketing efforts.

Contact Us

When you contact us with a comment or question through email, telephone, or the Contact Us form on our Platform, you may provide information that identifies you, such as your name, email, address, birth date or telephone number, along with additional information we need to help us promptly respond. We may retain this information to assist you in the future and to improve our products and services and to customize your experience with us, including to help us diagnose problems with our server or other technical issues relating to the performance of the Platform.

Business Partners

We may collect information about you from third parties such as from our business partners. We may use this information to conduct research and analysis, improve our marketing efforts, inform product development and innovation, and for supply and logistics improvements. We and our business partners may combine information that we have collected offline with information we collect online and across different devices over time.

Community Forums/Public Spaces

We may collect information you post on a public space such as a community forum on the Platform. Note about third-party uses: If you voluntarily disclose personal information (e.g., name, email address, personal photographs) in a community forum, such information may be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other parties. We have no control over this type use of your personal information and are not responsible for that use. Please exercise caution before sharing any personal information.

Careers

If you apply for a job with us, you may provide us with certain personal information about yourself, such as information contained in a resume, cover letter, or similar employment-related materials. We use this information for the purpose of processing and responding to your application for current and future career opportunities.

For any other purpose as otherwise required or permitted by law or as stated at the time you provide your information.

Information About Our Platform

Visiting our Platform

In general, you can visit our Platform without telling us who you are or submitting any personal information. However, we collect the IP (Internet protocol) addresses of all visitors to our Platform as well as other related information such as page requests, browser type, device identifier (if you are using our mobile app), operating system and average time spent on our Platform. We use this information to help us understand our Platform activity and to monitor and improve our Platform.

App Usage Information & Analytics

As with many apps, certain limited data is required for the app to function on your device. This data includes the type of device hardware and operating system, unique device identifier, IP address, language settings, and the date and time the app accesses our servers. We use this information to help us understand the activity on our app, to monitor and improve our app, and to tailor your in-app experience. In addition, we may use third party service providers to collect analytical information about your use of the app, such as the app features used and time spent on the app, to help us tailor your in-app experience, improve our products and the quality of our app, and to manage and analyze data in order to better understand our users.

Cookies

We use certain standard web measurement and tracking technologies such as "cookies," web server logs, web beacons (also known as "action tags" or "one pixel .gif files"), clear GIFs or other statistics programs. A "cookie" is a tiny element of data that our website sends to a user's browser, which may then be stored on the user's hard drive so that we can recognize the user's computer or device when they return. We do this on our Platform (including mobile apps) and in emails that we send to you. We collect information about users over time when you use this Platform (including mobile apps). We have third parties collect information this way, as well. Your browser may have an option that allows you to accept cookies, reject cookies, or receive notification when a cookie is sent, but you should note that the use of restrictive browser settings may limit your use of the Platform.
