PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: September 2026

Welcome to Quickie Convenience Stores, operated by MacEwen Petroleum Inc. (collectively, “MacEwen”, “We”, “Our”, “Us”). Because We respect the right to privacy, We have developed this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to demonstrate Our commitment to privacy and to inform Our customers and users of Our website located at www.quickiestores.com, our loyalty program website located at www.quickierewards.ca and any Quickie mobile application made available by Us (collectively, the “Platform”), as well as subscribers to Our email communications, (“You”, “Your”) about Our privacy practices regarding the types of information We may collect from You or that You may provide when You access or use the Platform, subscribe to Our email communications, visit Our stores, or otherwise interact with Us. 

By interacting with Us, You consent to Our collection, use, and disclosure of Your personal information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. 

1.    Definition of Personal Information 

“Personal Information” is any information that, directly or indirectly, identifies You. Personal Information includes, but is not limited to, Your name, home address, and email address. Personal Information does not include information that has been aggregated and/or anonymized such that it cannot be associated, directly or indirectly, with an identifiable individual.

This Privacy Policy describes the scope of Our privacy practices and explains: 

• The type of information We collect, use, and disclose; 

• How the information We collect is used and to whom it is disclosed; 

• Your rights, including how to withdraw consent (where applicable) and how to opt out of certain communications; and 

• Security procedures We have put in place to protect Your information from loss, misuse, or alteration. 

 
3.    Application

This Privacy Policy applies whenever You interact with Us, including when You access and use Our Platform, visit Our stores, and/or subscribe to Our email communications. We may require the involvement of trusted third parties to facilitate the provision of the Platform. We strive to provide the highest level of privacy possible and therefore require that any third parties offer no less protection than that offered in this Privacy Policy and as otherwise required by law to meet the data protection requirements of Canada's federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). 

4.    Links to Third Party Websites

For Your convenience, Our Platform may contain links to third party sites that are not controlled or operated by Us. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices and policies employed by these third party sites. We encourage You to review the privacy policies of any third parties before disclosing Your Personal Information to such parties or when visiting such third party sites.

5.    Information We Collect from You

5.1 How We Collect Information from You

We collect information from You in several ways, including but not limited to when You:

In such circumstances, Your Personal Information will be subject to the legal requirements of the applicable jurisdiction, including local requirements to disclose information to its courts, law enforcement and regulatory authorities. Whenever We engage a service provider, We require that its privacy and security standards adhere to this Privacy Policy and applicable Canadian privacy legislation.
