We reserve the right to use such anonymous and de-identified data for any legitimate business purpose without further notice to you or your consent.

Updating Your Personal Information

It is important that the information contained in our records is both accurate and current. If your personal information happens to change during the course of our relationship, please keep us informed of such changes.

We may also collect information related to our media, investor and public relations activities and information related to our interactions with financial and other analysts and advisors.

Parkland's operations include activities related to the marketing and distribution of fuels; as such, Parkland may also collect personal information from individuals participating in and / or impacted by those activities, including information related to obtaining permits and licenses, emergency planning and environmental stewardship.

As a general rule, Parkland collects personal information directly from you. In most circumstances where the personal information that we collect about you is held by a third-party, we will obtain your permission before we seek out this information from such sources (such permission may be given directly by you, or implied from your actions).

From time to time, we may utilize the services of third-parties and may also receive personal information collected by those third-parties in the course of the performance of their services for us or otherwise. Where this is the case, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that such third-parties have represented to us that they have the right to disclose your personal information to us."

Why Do We Collect Personal Information?

Parkland collects personal information to enable us to manage, maintain, and develop our operations, including: • to establish, maintain and manage our relationship with you so that we may provide you with, or receive from you, the products and services that have been requested; • to be able to review the products and services that we provide to you so that we may understand your requirements for our products and services and so that we may work to improve our products and services; • to be able to review the products and services that we obtain from you so that we may work with you and so that you may understand our requirements for such products and services; • to be able to comply with your requests (for example, if you prefer to be contacted at a business or residential telephone number and advise us of your preference, we will use this information to contact you at that number); • to enable us to undertake our environmental, health and safety activities, including incident planning, response and investigation • to protect us against error, fraud, theft and damage to our goods and property; • to enable us to comply with applicable law or regulatory process (for example, we may collect personal information to satisfy the obligations imposed on us by our various regulators); and • any other reasonable purpose to which you consent.

Monitoring of our Facilities and Equipment

In the course of conducting our business, we may monitor our facilities and equipment. For example, some Parkland locations are equipped with surveillance cameras. These cameras are generally in high-risk areas or plant sites.

Where in use, surveillance cameras are there for the protection of employees and third-parties, and to protect against theft, vandalism and damage to Parkland goods and property. Generally, recorded images are routinely destroyed and not shared with third-parties unless there is suspicion of a crime, in which case they may be turned over to the police or other appropriate government agency or authority.

This is not meant to suggest that all individuals visiting our facilities will in fact be monitored or their actions subject to surveillance. It is meant to bring to your attention that such monitoring may occur and may result in the collection of personal information from you.

How Do We Use and Disclose Your Personal Information?

We may use or disclose your personal information:

for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy; and for any additional purposes for which we have obtained your consent to the use or disclosure of your personal information.

We may use or disclose your personal information without your knowledge or consent where we are permitted or required by applicable law or regulatory requirements to do so.

When do we Disclose Your Personal Information? We may share your personal information with our employees, contractors, consultants and other parties who require such information to assist us with managing our relationship with you, including third-parties that provide services to us or on our behalf.

For example, some of our third-party service providers may provide certain information technology and data processing services to us from time to time so that we may operate our business, and as result, your personal information may be collected, used, processed, stored or disclosed in the United States of America or in other countries.

In addition, personal information may be disclosed or transferred to another party during the course of, or completion of, a change in ownership of or the grant of a security interest in, all or a part of Parkland or its affiliates through, for example, an asset or share sale, or some other form of business combination, merger or joint venture, provided that such party is bound by appropriate agreements or obligations and required to use or disclose your personal information in a manner consistent with the use and disclosure provisions of this Privacy Policy, unless you consent otherwise.

FURTHER, YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE DISCLOSED: as permitted or required by applicable law or regulatory requirements; to comply with valid legal processes such as search warrants, subpoenas or court orders; as part of Parkland's regular reporting activities to its affiliates; to protect the rights and property of Parkland; during emergency situations or where necessary to protect the safety of a person or group of persons; where the personal information is publicly available; and with your consent.

Your Consent is Important to Us

It is important to us that we collect, use or disclose your personal information where we have your consent to do so. Depending on the sensitivity of the personal information, your consent may be implied, deemed (using an opt-out mechanism) or express. Express consent can be given orally, electronically or in writing. Implied consent is consent that can reasonably be inferred from your action or inaction. For example, when you enter into an agreement with us, we will deem your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information for purposes related to the performance of that agreement and for any other purposes identified to you at the relevant time.

Typically, we will seek your consent at the time that we collect your personal information. In certain circumstances, your consent may be obtained after collection but prior to our use or disclosure of your personal information. If we plan to use or disclose your personal information for a purpose not previously identified (either in this Privacy Policy or separately), we will endeavor to advise you of that purpose before such use or disclosure.
