Introduction
Welcome to the evenko website located at https://www.evenko.ca/en, operated by evenko G.P. (“evenko”).
Evenko takes the privacy and security of your Personal information (as defined below in the section entitled Definition of Personal Information) very seriously. For this reason, we have taken steps to ensure that any Personal information we collect about you is protected by a range of robust business procedures and rigorous security safeguards to ensure that your information is kept confidential and used only for the purposes detailed in this Privacy Policy, unless otherwise authorized by law. If you are located in the Economic European Area or Switzerland, please review the additional terms which apply to you in addition to the main terms of this Privacy Policy.
We are committed to providing transparency with respect to our practices in handling Personal information. To that end, this Privacy Policy is intended to establish responsible and transparent practices for the management of Personal information and to satisfy the requirements of rules established by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”), as well as substantially similar provincial laws from Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec.
1. Application and Scope
This Privacy Policy generally applies to any Personal information evenko, or anyone acting as an agent on our behalf, collects about you through any website (“Website” or “Websites”) or mobile application (“App” or “Apps”) on which this Privacy Policy is posted, in person at our venues (“Venues”), or through any other interactions you may have with us. At any time that you do business with evenko, participate in a contest or promotion run by evenko or with anyone acting as an agent on our behalf, or interact with us in any manner, you are protected by the rights and safeguards contained in this Privacy Policy and you explicitly agree to its terms.
2. Definition of Personal Information
When used in this Privacy Policy, “Personal information” means any information that allows to identify an individual. This may include, for example, your name, contact information, email address, information relating to an account you have created with us, including your identity and the products and services (for instance, concert or game tickets) you have purchased or payment information. It may also include technical information, such as Websites visitors’ IP addresses, browsing history on our Websites and Apps, or information collected if you connect Wi-Fi at our Venues, but only when this information can identify you as an individual. Information that is aggregated and cannot be associated with an identifiable individual is not considered to be Personal information.
3. Collection of Personal Information
3.1. Information you provide directly to us. In many cases, we collect Personal information directly from you when you are interacting with us, for instance:
3.1.1. Contact information, such as name, email address, postal address, gender, date of birth, mailing address, phone number, facsimile number and mobile number when you create an account on evenko Websites or Apps, make an inquiry or contact us in person or through evenko Websites or Apps or when you enter a contest or promotion;
3.1.2. Communications preferences and correspondence you send to us;
3.1.3. Information collected about you offline (including via facsimile, mail, or in person when you visit our Venues).
3.2. Information Collected Automatically. In some cases, we may collect information automatically which may not necessarily identify you as an individual. For instance, we may collect the following type of information:
3.2.1. CCTV. As a security measure and in order to ensure the safety of our guests, tenants and occupants of our Venues, we may use Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) at various locations in order to maintain the security of our Venues. This collection is subject to applicable privacy laws and may be shared only in limited circumstances, as detailed in section Sharing of Personal Information of this Privacy Policy.
3.2.2. Traffic and Device Count. We may use cameras and other technologies at our Venues to conduct anonymous video analytics and anonymous traffic analysis. These practices allow to track the number of individuals at a specific location and estimate certain demographic information such as gender and age, but not to identify them or store photos or videos of them. We may also track devices which have accessed our Wi-Fi, on an anonymous basis, for similar purposes. We may use statistical data about traffic at our Venues to help us manage our Venues, and we may share this statistical information with our business partners, including advertisers.
3.2.3. Browser, Device and Technical Information. When you visit our Websites, use our Apps or connect to our Wi-Fi at our Venues, we may collect, using electronic means such as cookies, technical information. This information may include information about your visit or usage, including the IP address of your device/computer (which is the number automatically assigned to your device/computer whenever you access the Internet and that can sometimes be used to derive your general geographic area) and which browser you used to access our Websites, Apps or Wi-Fi, your operating system, resolution of screen, location, language settings in browsers, the site you came from, keywords searched (if arriving from a search engine), the number of page views, as well as information you entered and advertisements you have seen. For information about your choices with cookies, please refer to the Your Consent and Right to Withdraw Consent section of this Privacy Policy. We may also collect unique identifiers (including mobile device identification numbers (e.g. Apple’s Identifier for Advertising IP (IDFA) or Google’s Android Advertising ID (AAID)), and connection information (e.g. mobile operator, ISP, Wi-Fi connection), which can identify the physical location of such devices, in accordance with applicable law. We may also be able to recognize that a specific device belongs to you if you are a member of Club 1909.
3.2.4. Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics which allows us to see information on user online activities including, but not limited to, page views, source and time spent on our Websites and/or Apps. This information is depersonalized and is displayed as numbers, meaning that it cannot be tracked back to individuals. You may opt-out of our use of Google Analytics by visiting the Google Analytics opt-out page.
3.2.5. Online Advertising. We use advertising and remarketing services (such as Google AdWords Remarketing, Facebook Advertising, LinkedIn Advertising, Adobe Analytics and Localytics), to advertise evenko across the Internet and to advertise on third party websites (including Google) to previous visitors of our Websites. These services will display ads to you based on what parts of the Websites you have viewed by placing a cookie on your web browser when you visit our Websites. It could mean that previous visitors who have not completed a task on our Websites receive an advertisement on the Google search results page, on a site in the Google Display Network or on a social media platform. If you do not wish to receive such personalized advertising, you may opt out by changing your settings on the social media services you are using, through the advertising services (for instance by visiting Google’s Ads Preferences Manager). You can also generally opt-out of receiving personalized ads from third party advertisers and ad networks who are members of the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada. Please visit the DAAC opt-out page for more information.
3.2.6. Geolocation Information. If you choose to use our Apps, we may collect geolocation information if you have activated this functionality. For instance, we can recognize that you have entered our Venue and recognize you if you are a member of Club 1909.

If you sign into one of our Websites or Apps using a social media account such as Facebook, Google, LinkedIn or Twitter (“Social Media Platforms”), we will collect information that you have added in your registration profile from those accounts and which is made available to us by default by Social Media Platforms. We may also collect Personal information about you from your use of Social Media Platforms, through which you allow us to collect (or the third party to share) Personal information about you, such as details of your friends/connections, “likes”, comments you have shared, groups and location. In addition, we may receive Personal information about you if other users of a third party website give us access to their profiles and you are one of their friends/connections or information about you is otherwise accessible through your friends’/connections’ web page, profile page, or similar page on a Social Media Platform or other third party website or interactive service. We may supplement the information we collect about you directly with the information we receive from third parties in order to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our content to you and send you details of promotions and/or offers which we believe may be of interest to you, although at all times, in compliance with applicable privacy laws.
