Privacy

PEI Liquor takes the privacy of its Internet users seriously. We are committed to protecting the privacy of people whose personal information is held by the crown corporation through responsible information management practices. Any personal information provided to PEI Liquor is collected, used and disclosed in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act or other applicable legislation.

This website privacy statement explains the website data practices of PEI Liquor.

What is personal information?

Personal Information is recorded information about an identifiable individual. Personal information includes such things as an individual’s name, address, date of birth, email address and phone number. When the PEI Liquor collects personal information it must identify:

  • the purpose for collecting the personal information;
  • the legal authority for collecting it; and
  • the title, business address and business telephone number of an officer or employee of Liquor PEI who can answer questions about the collection of that information.

PEI Liquor does not collect personal information unless you voluntarily provide it for the purpose of using specific online services. However, if you choose not to provide the information required for online services, you can still access PEI Liquor services in person, by phone, fax or mail. Your decision not to participate in online services will not impair your ability to browse the website, read or download any information provided on the site.

Personal information will only be used by authorized staff to fulfill the purpose for which it was originally collected or for a use consistent with that purpose, unless you expressly consent otherwise. We do not disclose your information to other public bodies or individuals, except as authorized by the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

What kind of information is being automatically collected?

When you visit the PEI Liquor website to browse, download information or complete a transaction, the following information about your visit will be automatically collected and stored:

  • The Internet Protocol (IP) address and domain name used. The IP address is a numerical identifier assigned either to your Internet service provider or directly to your computer. This address can be translated to determine the domain name of your service provider as well as the type of browser and operating system being used;
  • the date, time and duration of your visit;
  • web pages visited and online applications or services used.

This information is used in aggregate form for statistical and systems performance management purposes only. PEI Liquor does not use this data to determine your identity unless required to do so as part of an internal investigation or other law enforcement purpose.

What safeguards are in place?

PEI Liquor is obligated to protect your personal information by making reasonable security arrangements against risks such as unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, disposal or destruction. Security measures have been integrated into the design, implementation and day-to-day operating practices as part of PEI Liquor’s continuing commitment to the protection of personal information.

Visitors should be aware that PEI Liquor’s websites may include links to websites or social media sites operated by other government agencies, non-profit organizations and/or private businesses. When you link to another site, this privacy policy will not apply. However, you may be subject to the privacy policy of that new site, if one exits. PEI Liquor is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites or social media sites.

If you believe that your personal information is being used for a purpose other than what was intended, please direct your inquires to one of the contacts listed at the bottom of this page.

How long is information retained?

The length of retention will vary in relation to the nature of the service. If PEI Liquor uses your personal information to make a decision that directly affects you, it must retain that information for a least one year so that you have a reasonable opportunity to obtain access to it.
