Introduction

We collect information about you and your participation in the Program as is reasonably necessary for us to offer and operate the Program, including:
Enrollment information: You must be a member of the Program (a &ldquo;Member&rdquo;) to earn and redeem Scene+ points or otherwise fully participate in the Program. When you enroll in the Program, we collect your name, mailing address, telephone number(s), email address, gender and date of birth.&nbsp; Once enrolled, you will receive a physical or digital membership card (a &ldquo;Membership Card&rdquo;).&nbsp; In some cases, you may earn Scene+ points with certain limited use cards issued prior to enrollment; however, you must enroll in the Program to redeem Scene+ points.
Information relating to your Scene+ Scotiabank Products. When you obtain or use a Scene+ Scotiabank Product (such as a Scene+ Scotiabank debit card or a Scene+ Scotiabank credit card) information is shared with Scene LP to enroll you as a member of the Program (or matching you to your existing member account), and information about any transactions relating to your Scene+ Scotiabank Products are shared by Scotiabank with Scene LP.&nbsp; This includes purchase date, purchase amount, merchant name and location.&nbsp; Please note that merchant name and location will not be shared for merchants that we consider are sensitive, such as healthcare providers.
Information relating to your use of Membership Card at Cineplex. When you use your Membership Card at Cineplex locations, information about your transaction is shared with Scene LP.&nbsp; This includes date, location, movie attended, concessions purchased, and total amount spent.
Information relating to your use of Membership Card at Empire.&nbsp; When you use your Membership Card at Participating Empire Locations (as defined in the Program terms and conditions), information about your transaction is shared with Scene LP.&nbsp; This includes date, location, purchase amount, and products purchased.&nbsp; Please note that products purchased will not be shared for products that we consider&nbsp; sensitive, such as drugs, natural health products, and medical devices where department-level information may be provided.
Information relating to your use of Membership Card at other Rewards Partners. When you use your Membership Card at or through other Rewards Partners locations, information about your transaction will be shared with Scene LP.&nbsp; This typically includes transaction date, time, location, amount spent, and details of products or services purchased.
Information from our Program Partners or Rewards Partners.&nbsp; We collect information from our Program Partners or Rewards Partners that is reasonably necessary for us to offer and operate, and for them to participate in, the Program.
Redemption information: We collect information about your Scene+ points redemptions, including the date and time of the redemption, the amount of Scene+ points redeemed, where they were redeemed, and the product or service the Scene+ points were redeemed for.
Information Collected Automatically: When you visit the Scene+ website or download or use the Scene+ mobile application, we collect information about the device you are using, including (as applicable) your Internet, telecom or mobile carrier and service provider, IP address, device ID, the date and time of your visit, the pages of the website you visit, the features of the app that you use, and the referring URLs you came from. We also collect information about the searches you perform when using the application or the sceneplus.ca website.&nbsp;
Our web server uses cookies to automatically recognize you as a registered visitor where you have indicated your preference to be automatically logged in.
We use pixels, or transparent GIF files, to help manage online interest-based advertising. These GIF files are provided by our ad management partners. These files enable us to recognize a unique cookie on your Web browser, which in turn enables us to learn which advertisements bring users to our website.
We also use cookies and similar tools for tailored interest-based advertising purposes.&nbsp; These cookies and tools may be placed by us, or by our advertising partners.
If you opt-out of interest-based advertising by a third party, these technologies may still collect data for other purposes, including analytics, and you will still see ads from Rewards Partners across the Internet, but the ads will not be targeted based on behavioural information about you, and may therefore be less relevant to you and your interests.
Interest-based advertising opt-outs work by saving cookies in your browser that tell the various ad partners that you have opted-out. Because cookies are generally browser-specific, your choice will only apply to the web browser from which you opt-out. You must opt-out from each web browser from which you do not want interest-based advertising (and this may involve different devices, if you use more than one).
Location Information: Through your mobile device, you may have the ability to activate the location tracking functionality to allow Scene LP to access your GPS location.&nbsp; Activating location or device tracking functionality is a function of your mobile device and not required for your participation in the Scene+ Program. By activating this feature, you agree to allow Scene LP to use your GPS location for purposes of notifying you when you are at, or are in close proximity to, a Rewards Partner, and you agree that Scene LP may collect and use your location information and transmit such information to its third party service providers for these purposes.
Other information: &nbsp;We may collect personal information in other circumstances, such as when you:
<ul>
<li>Create a Scene+ account. We will ask you to create a password and send you a single-use security code via your mobile phone or email, for added security.</li>
<li>Contact us with questions, comments, concerns or requests. This information may include your name and contact information and the information that you choose to provide.</li>
<li>Participate in a contest or promotion. This information may include your name and contact information and any additional information required in connection with the contest or promotion (for example, we may run a contest that asks you to share a photo or story about yourself).</li>
<li>Participate in a survey. This information may include your name and contact information and any other information that you may choose to provide in response to the survey questions.</li>
</ul>
