10. Challenging Compliance: You may contact us with any questions, complaints or suggestions with respect to the above principles and this Privacy Policy.
What is Personal Information?
Personal Information is broadly defined as information about an identifiable individual, but does not include the name, title, business address or business telephone number of an employee of an organization. Personal Information with personal identifiers removed (removing the identity of the individual from the information) so that it can no longer be identified with a particular individual is not considered Personal Information.
Personal Information We Collect
With your consent, we may collect Personal Information from you in person, either by telephone, by mail, by intercept survey or through the Internet. Typically, we collect and maintain the following:
Name
Mailing Address
Email Address
Telephone Number
Date of Birth
It is always your choice as to whether you provide us with your Personal Information. However:
- Several of our products and services (e.g. telephone account and Internet wagering) are governed by federal and provincial regulations that require specific Personal Information be collected and maintained by us.
- Some of our products and services can only be delivered to you if we can collect, use and disclose your Personal Information (e.g. HorsePlayer Rewards program).
How We Use Your Information
Relationships With Our Customers Are Important To Us
We want to provide you with our various services on an ongoing and efficient manner to establish a long lasting relationship which will meet your changing needs.
With your permission, we collect Personal Information about you to:
- Provide you with products, services or information that you request
- Assist in identifying your preferences
- Provide you with information about upcoming events, promotions and new and improved services
- Protect you and us, against error and fraud
- Comply with legal requirements
- Comply with our internal risk management and related policies
Your Personal Information may also be used to provide us with business statistics. These statistics do not contain any information which identifies you personally.
You Can Choose Not To Receive Direct Marketing
We may inform you about our events, promotions or services by mail, telephone, e-mail or other means. If you do not wish to receive direct marketing, you may contact us and tell us that you do not want to be contacted in a particular way. See below for contact details.
Giving Consent
Key to protecting the privacy of your Personal Information is consent. We collect, use and disclose your Personal Information only with your consent except where otherwise required by law.
You may decline to provide us with your Personal Information. However, this choice may make it impossible for us to provide you with certain products or services. For example, we cannot set up a telephone wagering account with Internet access without the Personal Information which is required by the Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency, the agency which regulates pari-mutuel wagering, on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture (Agriculture Canada).
Withdrawing Consent
You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. If you wish to withdraw your consent we will inform you of the implications. To withdraw your consent, simply contact us and tell us of the Personal Information which you no longer wish us to collect, use and/or disclose. See below for contact details.
Security and Disclosure of Your Personal Information
We recognize your concerns about the security of the Personal Information which you provide to us. Our processes and procedures keep your Personal Information safe and secure. We have different safeguards in place (physical, technological and organizational). While we use reasonable efforts to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information or of any information that is transmitted via the Internet.
Your Personal Information will not be used or disclosed without your consent, except where required or permitted by law. We will only use and disclose your Personal Information to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as otherwise identified in this Privacy Policy. Other uses of your Personal Information will only be undertaken after we have obtained your additional consent, or as may be required by law. We will only keep your information for as long as needed for the stated purposes.
Your Personal Information will not be sold to any organization for any purpose.
We will not disclose your Personal Information to any third party without your approval, except that we reserve the right to disclose your Personal Information: (a) to any of our affiliates, subsidiaries, third party service providers or advisers that we deem appropriate; (b) if such disclosure is made pursuant to a legal proceeding or as required by law; (c) to another business entity should we plan to merge with, or be acquired by that business entity; or (d) organizations involved in a merger, transfer or sale of our assets or business.
In the event that we disclose your Personal Information as set out above, we will require third party organizations who have access to your Personal Information to protect and maintain your Personal Information in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.
Access and Update of Your Personal Information
Accessing your Personal Information
You may access and verify your Personal Information. At the time of your request we will need specific information to verify your identity before we can provide you with the Personal Information we hold. In some instances, we will not be able to provide you with the Personal Information you request, for instance where that information:
- Contains references to other persons
- Has already been destroyed due to legal requirements or because the information has served its purposes
- Cannot be disclosed for legal reasons (e.g. when subject to solicitor-client or litigation privilege)
If we are unable to provide you with access to your Personal Information, we will explain why and advise you as to any recourse available to you.
Updating your Personal Information
We are committed to maintaining the accuracy of your Personal Information. To help us keep your Personal Information up-to-date we encourage you to notify us of inaccuracies or corrections. Timely notification of a change of address or telephone number helps us in providing you with the best possible service.

If we decide to amend this Privacy Policy, we will provide you with notice of such amended terms by posting the amended terms on this web site so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will disclose it to anyone. All amended terms shall be effective immediately upon such notice.
