INTRODUCTION

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how your information is processed by
Pet Valu Canada Inc. (“Pet Valu” “we,” “us” or “our”.) This Policy contains
details about how Pet Valu collects information about you when you visit any of
our websites where this Policy is posted or linked to (each of which is a
"Site"), visit or make a purchase at our stores (each of which is a “Store”),
participate in our loyalty programs or otherwise contact or interact with us
offline (“Offline Services”). This Policy collectively refers to every Site,
Store, and all Offline Services as the “Services.” This Policy also explains how
Pet Valu uses and shares your information, as well as your ability to access and
control certain uses of it.

1. Changes to this Privacy Policy

Pet Valu may make changes to this Policy at any time. When we do, we will post
the change(s) on our Site. Please visit this page from time to time so that you
will be aware of any changes. Any changes will be effective once the revised
Policy has been posted on our Site unless otherwise specified. It is your
obligation to ensure that you read, understand and agree to the latest version
of the Policy. The effective date, as well as the last updated date, appear at
the top of the Policy.
By continuing to use our Services after any changes are made to this Policy, you
are accepting the changes to the Policy. If any of the changes are unacceptable
to you, you should stop using our Services.

2. Services We Provide

Our Services include all services and products delivered on or through our Site,
services rendered as a result of a visit or transaction at our Store, and
services provided through interactions involving our Offline Services, which
include our loyalty programs, the sale of pet foods and pet supplies, as well as
other pet-related items and services, including dog grooming and dog
self-washing services.

3. Information We Collect

We collect personal information, as defined below, in the following ways:

Personal Information You Provide
The personal information we collect from you depends on how you use our
Services. Personal information is generally defined as information that, by
itself or in combination with other information, may be able to identify you or
could reasonably be associated with you or your accounts, and includes any
information about you that is associated with such information.
There are areas of our Services where you may be asked to provide Pet Valu with
personal information. For example, Pet Valu may collect personal information
such as name, mailing and/or shipping address(es), email address, marital
status, military status, business or organizational information, telephone
number, credit/debit card number or other payment information, information about
your purchases, pet information including age or gender, photographs, location
and/or communications preferences, and your username and password when you:

* Create a Site account or join or participate in a customer loyalty program
through the Services;
* Purchase products or services at a Store, through our other retail outlets or
online at our Sites;
* Communicate with Pet Valu or contact us with questions, complaints or other
inquiries;
* Contact our customer service help desk;
* Complete the “Email Sign Up” box or opt-in to receive SMS/MMS messages from
Pet Valu;
* Sign up to receive newsletters and other promotions;
* Participate in contests and other marketing campaigns;
* Participate in Pet Valu customer surveys; and/or
* Interact with or follow us on one of Pet Valu’s social media accounts.

You may also provide us with certain information in connection with specific
transactions:

* Store Visits. If you schedule an appointment or bring your pet to our Store,
such as for grooming or a wellness event, we may collect additional
information about your pet.
* Information About a Third Party. If you register for our pet gift registry,
we will collect information about your pets and about the products in which
you are interested. If you send someone a gift through our pet gift registry,
Pet Valu may collect information about your purchase and about the gift
recipient.

You may also provide us with personal information when you inquire about or
apply for employment or a franchise opportunity.

Information Automatically Collected
Pet Valu may collect certain personal information and other information
automatically when you interact with our Site, email, social media accounts or
online advertising. This information is collected through the use of Pet Valu’s
or a third party’s technologies, which include cookies, web beacons, clear GIFs,
pixel tags, log files, HTML5 and other technologies. Such automatically
collected information may include: your browser type and operating system; web
pages you view; links you click; your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address or Media
Access Control (“MAC”) address; mobile device identifier or other unique device
identifier of your computer or device; geolocation information; device model;
carrier information; the length of time you visit or use the Site; and the
referring webpage that led you to our Site

Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms
Pet Valu and our third-party service providers may use cookies and other
tracking mechanisms to evaluate how you use the Site or other online Services.
We may combine this information with personal information we collect from you
(and our third-party service providers may do so on our behalf).

Cookies. Cookies are small files that are transferred to your computer through
your web browser to help keep track of your visits to and how you use our Site
or other online Services. Some cookies allow Pet Valu to make it easier for you
to navigate our Services, while others are used to help you log-in faster or to
allow us to track your activities at our online Services. You may be able to
disable cookies by consulting your browser and/or computer instructions. Please
note that any disabling of cookies could affect how the Site or other online
Services appear and/or operate for you. There are two types of cookies that we
use:

* Session Cookies. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They
disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your
computer. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify
you during a session or while you are logged into our Services. This allows
us to process your online transactions and requests, and to verify your
identity.
* Persistent Cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you have
closed your browser or turned off your computer. We use persistent cookies to
track aggregate and statistical information about user activity on our Site.

Clear GIFs, pixel tags and other technologies. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with
a unique identifier, and these technologies function in a way that is similar to
cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive,
clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a.
web beacons, web bugs, or pixel tags), in connection with our Site or other
online Services to, among other things, track the activities of visitors, help
us manage content, and compile statistics about usage. We and our third-party
service providers also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our users to help us
track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track
whether our emails are forwarded.

Third Party Analytics. We may use third parties’ analytics and tracking tools to
better understand who is using the Services, how people are using the Services,
how to improve the effectiveness of the Services and related content, and to
help us or those third parties serve more targeted advertising to you across the
Internet. We use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics,
to evaluate usage of our Site. Analytics providers collect information such as
how often users visit our Site, what pages they visit when they do, and what
other sites they visit prior to visiting our Site. These analytics providers may
collect your IP address, page views and date and time stamps, among other
information, and they may combine the information that they collect about you on
our Site with other information they have collected elsewhere. This Policy does
not cover such third parties’ use of data. For more information on how Google
Analytics handles the information it collects, please see Google’s privacy
policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy. If you would like to opt-out of
making your online activity available to Google Analytics, you may be able to
install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on available
at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/181881.

Third-Party Ad Networks/Targeted Advertising
Pet Valu may use advertising networks to serve advertisements on our Site and on
third-party websites or other media (e.g., social networking platforms). This
enables us and these third parties to target advertisements to you for products
and services in which you might be interested based on your browsing and
purchase history. These third-party advertising services may use cookies and
other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of ads and to
personalize advertising content for you. These third-party services are governed
by each third party’s privacy policy, not this Policy.
You may go to the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (“DAAC”) Opt-Out Tool,
for information about opting out of targeted advertising and the choices you
have regarding information circulated among DAAC companies. You may also go to
the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) Consumer Opt-Out Page for information
about opting out of targeted advertising and the choices you have regarding
information circulated among NAI members. Please note that when using these ad
industry opt-out tools, you may need to execute the opt-out on each browser or
device that you use.
Opting out from one or more companies listed on the DAAC Opt-Out Tool, or the
NAI Consumer Opt-Out Page will opt you out from those companies’ delivery of
targeted content or ads, but it does not mean you stop receiving ads through our
Site or on other websites. You may continue to receive ads, for example, based
on the particular website that you are viewing. Also, if your browsers are
configured to reject cookies when you opt out on the DAAC or NAI websites, your
opt-out may not be effective.
Pet Valu uses Google’s advertising services to collect and access certain
demographic and internet data about your visits to our Sites and third-party
websites. We use this information to better understand your needs and
preferences, and to provide you with advertising that is customized to your
inferred interests and preferences. You may opt out of these Google advertising
features by using Google’s ad settings https://www.google.com/settings/ads or by
installing the Google opt-out browser add-on.

Information Collected from Other Sources
We may collect information from trusted third parties, such as our marketing
partners or other sources to update or supplement the information that you
provide or that we collect automatically. This may include information to
validate or update your shipping address or other demographic information.
Telephone calls to and from our customer service help desk may be recorded for
training and support purposes and, when they are, you will be notified at the
outset. Any personal information collected through such records will be used for
us to respond to your inquiry or complaint as well as for training purposes with
a view to improving our customer service.
We may collect personal and other information through various types of
technologies used in our Store. These can include our point-of-sale systems
(through which we collect transaction and loyalty information), video
surveillance (which we use for safety and security purposes) or other similar
types of technologies. For example, we may use video analytics which allows us
to track the number of individuals in our Stores and consider certain
demographic information about our customer base in order to generally identify
your location in our Store or your close proximity to it for marketing, to
generate coupons and other offers, for analytical purposes and to prompt our
associates as to which customers may need help. We may also use technology that
recognizes the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth MAC address of a visitor to our Store so that
we can better understand foot traffic patterns within the Store.
We may collect information from other sources with your consent. For example, if
you apply for employment or a franchise opportunity, we may contact references
that you provide in your application.

4. How We Use Information

We use personal and other information collected from or about you for any of the
following purposes:

* To provide our Services to you, to communicate with you about your use of our
Services, to respond to your inquiries, to fulfill your orders, and for other

* To process transactions and process and track returns and exchanges and to

anonymized and/or aggregated information for any purpose; and/or
* For other purposes disclosed at the time you provide your information or
otherwise with your consent.

5. Information We Share

A. Service Providers
In the course of providing our programs, products, promotions, contests, events
and other aspects of the Services, Pet Valu may share personal information with
service providers (including our franchisees and affiliates acting in this
capacity). These service providers help us operate our business, technology
systems and applications, internal procedures, infrastructure and advertising
and marketing. They provide services to us such as the administration and
processing of our customer loyalty programs, data hosting, e-commerce
operations, payment processing, contest administration, email deployment,
product reviews, marketing, and processing or analysis of personal information
and other data. Our service providers may be located in the United States or
Canada.

B. Third Parties
Pet Valu may provide certain aspects of the Services through arrangements with
third parties. As a result, your personal information may be shared with the
applicable third party. These third parties may have their own privacy policies
and terms and conditions, which will govern their use of your personal
information. You will be informed of the specific third-party arrangement when
signing up for the relevant program, product or service so that you can review
the appropriate privacy policies. Examples of such third-party arrangements are
set out below.

Co-Branded Relationships. Certain areas of our Services may be provided to you
in association with third parties, such as advertisers that provide products and
services or rewards programs. We may share information with these third parties
if you participate in a co-branded, co-sponsored, or jointly presented
promotion, contest, survey, voting feature, or service.

Sweepstakes, Contests, and Promotions. If you choose to enter into one of our
sweepstakes, contests, or other promotions (a "Promotion") through the Services,
we may disclose your information to third parties (such as prize suppliers or
co-sponsors) or the public (for example, to announce winners) in connection with
the administration of such Promotion, as required by law, as otherwise permitted
by the Promotion's official rules, or otherwise in accordance with the terms of
this Policy.

C. Other Permitted Reasons
Pet Valu may also share information in the following circumstances:

* Business Transfers: If we are acquired by or merged with another company, or
if all or any portion of our business, assets, or stock are transferred to
another company (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar
proceedings), we may transfer the information we have collected from you to
such other company.
* To Comply with Law or in Response to Legal Process: We or our service
providers may disclose the information we collect from you in order to comply
with United States, Canadian or foreign laws applicable to us or our service
providers, including in connection with a judicial proceeding, court order,
or other legal process, such as in response to a subpoena or to cooperate
with law enforcement.
* To Protect Pet Valu and/or Others: We also may disclose the information we
collect from you where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or
take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations
involving potential threats to the safety, rights, privacy, or property of
any person, violations of our respective terms or conditions of use, or as
evidence in litigation in which Pet Valu is involved.
* With Your Consent. We may share your personal information for other purposes
with your consent or as otherwise permitted by law or required by law.

User Generated Content
If you post content on our Site or through our other online Services, including
on our social media pages or outreaches, everything you post may become publicly
available. We cannot prevent any information or content you post online from
being viewed or copied by others and used in a manner that may violate this
Policy, the law, or your personal privacy.

6. Your Rights and Choices Regarding Your Information

In connection with Pet Valu’s collection and use of your personal information,
you have the right to request access to or correction of the personal
information in Pet Valu’s custody or control and to withdraw your consent to the
collection, use or disclosure of your personal information. You may also have
additional rights, in specified circumstances to request the deletion of your
personal information or to request a copy of the information you have provided
to us be transferred to another person.
These rights are subject to applicable legal and contractual restrictions, and
we will respond to your request consistent with applicable law. If you would
like to make a request in relation to your personal information in Pet Valu’s
control, or if you would like to withdraw your consent to our processing of your
personal information, please contact us at: privacy@petvalu.com or (if available
on a particular Site) you may be able to review and make certain changes
regarding your collected personal information by editing your information and
preferences on the "My Account" page. Please note that we may take appropriate
steps to verify your identity before responding to your request.

Do-Not-Track. Currently, Pet Valu’s systems do not recognize browser
“do-not-track” requests.

Opt-Out Preferences
To opt-out of marketing communications we send to your email address or mobile
device, you may use one of these methods:

* Electronic Promotional Offers. If you do not want to receive emails from Pet
Valu regarding special promotions or offers, you may (i) click the
unsubscribe link in the footer of any email we send you; or (ii) contact us
using the information listed in the “Contact Us” section below. Please note
that it may take up to 10 business days for us to process opt-out requests.
If you opt-out, we may still send you emails about your account, rewards
earned or forfeited, and/or any services you have requested or received from
us.
* Mobile Promotional Offers. With your consent, we may send you marketing via
text message to the mobile phone number you provided to Pet Valu. Standard
data and message rates will apply. If you no longer wish to receive mobile
alerts from us, you can (i) follow the instructions provided in those
messages or otherwise reply STOP to any Pet Valu alert; or (ii) contact us
using the information listed in the “Contact Us” section below.

7. Data Security and Retention

Personal information is maintained on our servers or those of our service
providers and is accessible by authorized employees, representatives and agents
as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Our Services
implement, use and maintain reasonable physical, administrative, and technical
steps designed to safeguard the personal information we collect from and about
our customers and Site visitors. These security measures are reasonably designed
to help secure your personal information from loss, unauthorized access or
disclosure, both in storage and in transmission.
While Pet Valu takes the issue of protecting your personal information
seriously, please be aware that security cannot be totally guaranteed. You
should exercise discretion in what information you disclose and/or transmit
online. Pet Valu cannot guarantee that information sent over the Internet is
fully secure. The transmitted information may be intercepted by others before it
reaches Pet Valu. If you are concerned about sending personal information to Pet
Valu over the Internet, please send the information by mail or call us to make
other arrangements. Pet Valu is not responsible for the security of information
sent over the Internet.
Pet Valu retains personal information for a reasonable amount of time in order
to fulfill the stated purpose for why the information was collected. Pet Valu
will also retain personal information connected to business records for periods
of time required by law. If Pet Valu determines that information is no longer
needed, it will anonymize, delete or dispose of any copies of such information.
Our retention periods will be consistent with applicable law.

8. Children

Our Services are intended for individuals who are over the age of majority.
Our Services are not designed for, directed at, marketed to, nor intended for,
children under 13 years of age. Pet Valu does not knowingly collect any
information, including personal information, from children under 13 years of
age. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal
information, we will delete such information from our systems, and/or we will
destroy or otherwise properly dispose of any copies of such information.

9. International Concerns

Our Services are meant for individuals within Canada. Pet Valu only knowingly
collects information from individuals within Canada. If you provide information
to Pet Valu from outside these jurisdictions, you do so at your own risk. If you
are outside of Canada, you are responsible for complying with any local laws
regarding your use of our Site and Services, and any related information
collection. You also understand that, by providing any information, including
personal information, on the Site or through the Services, that such information
will be transmitted to, and stored in, Canada or the United States.

10. Third Party Content, Links, and Plug-Ins

Certain parts of our Services may have links to third-party websites,
applications or other online services, including those embedded in third-party
advertisements or sponsor information, which are not controlled by Pet Valu and
which may have privacy policies that differ from our own. Pet Valu is not
responsible for the privacy practices or information collection policies of such
third-party services. You should consult the privacy policies of those
third-party services for details.
Pet Valu may also allow interaction between our Services and other online
services such as social media providers. This may include “Like” buttons or
other plugins available through the Services that allow you to share information
with persons outside of the Site or our other online Services. Please consult
the privacy policies of such third-party providers before using them to make
sure you are comfortable with the level of sharing.
