Privacy Policy

(Contests / Promotions and Internet Sites)

Effective June 2011

We at PepsiCo Canada ULC (“PepsiCo Canada”) have adopted this Privacy Policy (hereinafter the “Policy”) to show our firm commitment to preserving the confidentiality of personal information given to us by contest/promotion participants and users of our Internet sites. Access to and protection of the personal information of our contest/promotion participants and Internet site users will be limited and controlled under this Policy, which will ensure that information is neither shared nor disclosed to unauthorized persons without the appropriate consent. Information collection, use, and disclosure practices as regards to personal information we collect are described below.

PepsiCo Canada ULC operates in Canada through two business units, PepsiCo Beverages Canada (Pepsi, Gatorade and Tropicana) and PepsiCo Foods Canada (Frito Lay Canada and Quaker).

Your Consent To This Policy

By accessing this website and/or participating in one of our contests/promotions, you (as well as your parent or legal guardian, if applicable) acknowledge and accept these terms and conditions of use. If you are not in agreement, you should not access this website or submit any information.

Personal Information

PepsiCo Canada will only collect personally identifiable information about you (such as your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address) if you provide it to us voluntarily.

In order to participate in one of our contests/promotions, you must consent to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information for contest/promotion administration purposes, including authorizing your information to be publicly disclosed in accordance with the contest rules/promotion terms and conditions, which may be posted on our Internet sites. If you choose not to provide us with this personal information, this may affect your ability to participate in our contests/promotions.

From time to time, we may also request personal information for purposes beyond contest/promotion administration, for example in order to contact you or to help us better understand your needs and how we may improve the products and services that we and/or our marketing partners offer. However, we will not require your consent to our collection, use or disclosure of information for these purposes as a condition of your participation in our contests/promotions.

PepsiCo Canada may also have to disclose your personal information in order to comply with legal or regulatory requirements.

We may also ask you whether you wish to receive communications from us (especially information concerning our products and contests/promotions). On such occasions, you may choose to receive our communications (and subsequently to unsubscribe to our communications) by checking the appropriate box on the relevant form or web page. Also, see instructions below under the heading “How to Contact Us”.

Retention Of Personal Information

PepsiCo Canada will keep Personal Information for a reasonable period of time in order to fulfill the identified purposes, or as required or permitted by law or business custom, whichever is longer. We will establish retention criteria depending on the type of information collected. At a minimum, we expect to retain Personal Information that has been used to make a decision about an individual long enough to allow the individual access to the information after the decision has been made and, in the event of an access request or a challenge, long enough to exhaust any recourse an individual may have under the law.

Where Personal Information is no longer required to fulfill the identified purposes, or where an individual has requested that we delete his or her Personal Information, it will be made anonymous or will be destroyed in a manner that will protect it from unauthorized access or disclosure.

Security And Sharing

PepsiCo Canada will take reasonable precautions to keep secure the personal information you provide us. Your personal information may be shared with our authorized agents, third party service providers or affiliates in connection with services that these individuals or entities perform for us, but they are required to keep the information confidential and are not permitted to use the information for any purpose beyond that covered by your consent to PepsiCo Canada. Your personal information may be stored and processed outside of Canada. We will not disclose your personally identifiable information to anyone else without your consent.

Kids

If you are under the age of majority in your province or territory of residence, we require the permission of your parent or legal guardian before you provide any personally identifiable information to us, except as allowed by law.

Non-Personal Information Collected Automatically

Individual Access

Upon written request, we will:

• give you access to that Personal Information;

• inform you of the existence, use and disclosure of your Personal Information; and

• respond to any issue you raise with respect to the accuracy or completeness of your Personal Information, and will amend it if appropriate.

We will investigate all written requests in a timely manner, and respond to you within a reasonable time (generally within 30 days). In some cases, we may require you to provide additional information in order for us to process your request.

While our response will ordinarily be provided at no cost to you, depending on the nature of the request and the amount of information involved, we reserve the right to charge a fee. In these circumstances, we will inform you of the approximate cost to provide the response and proceed upon receipt of your confirmation that you wish us to continue and that you will pay the estimated charge at the time of or before receiving access to the information.

If your complaint or request is not resolved to your satisfaction, we will record the substance of the unresolved challenge. Where appropriate, the amended information or the existence of the unresolved challenge, as the case may be, will be transmitted to third parties having access to the information in question.

In certain limited situations, as permitted or required by law, we may refuse a request or may not be able to provide access to all the Personal Information we hold about you. Where permitted, the reasons for denying access will be provided to you upon request. Exceptions may include (but are not limited to): information that contains references to other individuals or confidential commercial information that cannot be severed from the record; information collected in the course of investigating a breach of an agreement or in the course of a formal dispute resolution process; and information that is subject to solicitor-client privilege.
