ALC Internet Privacy Policy

The privacy and security of your personal information is very important to ALC. The following describes the information we may collect, how we use it, how you can access it, and how we keep it secure.

1. The Information We Collect

For registered users of ProlineStadium.com, ALC offers features contained within ProlineStadium.com that require the collection, maintenance and use of some personal information. The following pieces of information may be collected:

E-mail address
Name
Address
Phone number
Credit card information (optional)
Date of birth
Security question
Language preference
Contest entries
Survey responses

2. How We Use the Information (For Registered Users)

E-mail Address

Your e-mail address is used to identify you as an "individual" on the database and is used to distribute e-mail services to which you have subscribed.

Name, Address, Phone Number, Credit Card Information (optional) and Date of Birth

This information will be used to identify you on ProlineStadium.com, to ensure that you are a resident of either New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador or Prince Edward Island and that you are the age of majority in the province in which you reside and/or as contact information if this is required.

Security Question

Your security question is used to confirm your identity when communicating with ALC.

Language Preference

Your language preference is used to determine the language in which services are received.

Contest Entries and Survey Responses

When you submit your responses to survey questions or entries into contests offered through our website, we maintain your answers and/or any opinions or information that you volunteer.

Your submission to survey questions is used to accumulate survey results, which may be published in aggregate form (i.e., your submission is not associated with you as an individual). We may use your response to improve products, services or our website.

Contest entry information is collected, retained and used as described in the contest terms and conditions.

3. Sharing the Information

ALC sometimes retains outside organizations to perform specialized services such as data processing, verification of residency and age of majority requirements and customer services. Our trusted service suppliers may at times be responsible for processing and handling some of the information we receive from you.

Suppliers who provide specialized services for ALC are given only the information necessary to perform those services and are prohibited from using that information for purposes other than to carry out the service they have been contracted to provide. ALC protects customer's personal information disclosed to third parties by contractual agreements stipulating the confidentiality of the information and the purpose for which it is to be used. ALC takes appropriate steps to ensure that our suppliers provide a comparable level of protection while your personal information is in their possession.

At no time will your personal information be shared or sold to third parties for any purpose other than disclosed to you.

4. Cookies and Statistics

Cookies are small text files that identify an individual computer's browser entering a website. They allow the website to "remember" certain pieces of information as the individual moves through it and enhance the overall experience with the site. Through cookies, a website can facilitate a user's access to, and use of, the site. ALC uses cookies only for the above-mentioned purposes and will not use them to personally identify users unless consent to do so is specifically obtained.

For certain services to operate, your browser must be set to accept cookies. If you are concerned about having your browser enabled to accept cookies while you are visiting other websites, we recommend that you enable your browser to notify you when it is receiving a cookie. This gives you the ability of accepting or rejecting any cookie presented by the server of the website you are visiting. The site will work if you choose to reject cookies, but some functionality will not be available to you.

When you go to information portions of our website and move from page to page, read pages or download content onto your computer, we learn about which pages are visited and what content is downloaded. However, none of this is associated with you as an individual. It is measured only in aggregate form.

We use this information to find out how many people visit our website and which sections of the site are visited most frequently. This helps us to know what type of information is most useful to you so that we can improve our website and make it easier for you to access information.

5. Our Commitment to Security

Personal information about you will only be accessible to authorized ALC employees and representatives who require access to this information in the performance of their duties.

ALC maintains security standards, systems and procedures to help prevent unauthorized access to, or loss or misuse of, confidential information about you. Our technology is routinely updated and tested to improve the protection of our information about you and to assure the integrity of our information.
