Canada's privacy commissioner wants to know why Loblaws is demanding some customers hand over a copy of their driver's licence or hydro bill to get their $25 gift card.
Loblaws' privacy policy for its gift card program states personal data provided could be shared with three separate companies working with the grocer: prepaid card suppliers Blackhawk Network Canada and Peoples Trust Company, as well as U.S.-based legal administrative service company JND Legal Administration.
JND is the gift card "program administrator" that's sending the request to some customers to send in ID.
The privacy policy also states that "personal information may be stored, accessed or used in a country outside of Canada," including in the U.S. and El Salvador, where privacy laws may differ.
