Rogers Blue Jays Baseball Partnership Privacy Policy
Rogers Blue Jays Baseball Partnership (the "Club" or "we"), owner of the Toronto Blue Jays Major League Baseball team, has created this Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to the privacy of our customers. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for all aspects of our business including, in particular, those activities that are conducted through offline means (i.e. other than via the Internet or other interactive media).
A Note Regarding Major League Baseball Websites, Apps and Services: Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to the websites, apps, or services that are owned, controlled or operated by or on behalf of Major League Baseball, MLB Advanced Media, L.P. or any of their affiliated organizations. Such websites, apps and services are governed by the individual privacy policies of the applicable organization(s).
When you voluntarily provide the Club with Personal Information (as defined below), either directly or through a third party source that has advised you of an intention to disclose that information to us (for example, through MLB Advanced Media, L.P. and/or the websites www.mlb.com or www.bluejays.com), you thereby consent to its collection, use and disclosure by the Club in accordance with this Privacy Policy, subject to any uses and disclosures from which you have opted out.

- Other information, such as your birthdate, transaction history, attendance history, location information (including information obtained from in-stadium cameras, surveillance and security systems), purchase preferences and interests, and demographic information (such as marital and family status).

b) Who are acting on our behalf as agents, suppliers or service providers, and solely to enable us to provide you with the goods, services, programs, contests, promotions and information that you have requested or otherwise consented to or to improve upon the foregoing. These entities act on behalf of the Club in these circumstances and are required to maintain the confidentiality of all such Personal Information. Certain of these entities may be located outside of Canada and therefore your Personal Information may be stored and processed outside Canada and may be subject to the laws of other jurisdictions;
c) If you enter a contest or other promotion offered by the Club, to administer the contest or promotion, in accordance with its rules;
d) Within the Rogers group of companies, to develop and customize products or services to better meet your needs and preferences and to offer you products and services.

4) Security
The security of your Personal Information is important to the Club. We instruct our employees with access to your Personal Information that it is to be used only in adherence with the principles set forth in this Privacy Policy and the laws applicable to each specific business. The Club and/or any of its affiliated companies within the Rogers group of companies assumes no liability for interception, alteration or misuse of information transmitted over the Internet.
5) Electronic Communications and bluejays.com
We will communicate with you by way of email and other forms of electronic communication only if you have consented to us doing so or if such electronic communications otherwise comply with Canada's anti-spam laws.
The Club's official website (currently www.bluejays.com) (the "Blue Jays Website") and the majority of the Club's interactive electronic communications are operated and handled by MLB Advanced Media, L.P. ("MLBAM"), on the Club's behalf. Accordingly, in the event that you request access to any products or services delivered by MLBAM or we are permitted by law to send you electronic communications, we may provide some or all of your information (such as your e-mail address) to MLBAM and/or any applicable successor entity. Any Personal Information that MLBAM receives from the Club or that MLBAM receives directly via the Blue Jays Website is governed by the MLB.com privacy policy, a current version of which you can read at https://www.mlb.com/official-information/privacy-policy.
6) National Do Not Call List
Since September 30, 2008, Canadians have had the ability to limit telemarketing calls they receive by adding their home, mobile, VoIP or fax number to the National Do Not Call List (see https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/en for more information). Once registered, your specified phone number will be removed from many telemarketing lists within thirty one (31) days for a period of three (3) years.
Important note for Club customers. Registration on the National Do Not Call List does not prevent telephone communications from companies with whom you have an existing business relationship. Therefore, if you wish to manage your telephone communications from the Club specifically, please contact us directly as provided for in Section 8 of this Privacy Policy, below.
7) Changes to Privacy Policy
If we decide to make an important change to this Privacy Policy, we will post a notification and link on the homepage of, or another visible location within, the Blue Jays Website so that you can review the updated policy. Your continued purchase or use of any of our products or services subsequent to any such changes will mean that you accept such changes.
