While some of this information does not identify who people are, other information (e.g. Internet domain names or the IP addresses of internet service providers) may provide identification. The extent of personal identification depends on the naming standards followed by the internet service provider. You may wish to check with your provider to inquire about their policies and practices in this regard. Tourism Burnaby does not use this information to identify individuals who visit the Pat Quinn Classic site unless required to do so as part of an internal investigation or other law enforcement purpose. Any personal information collected via the website (e.g. registration/scholarship application/contest forms) is done in compliance with BC’s privacy legislation and is considered necessary for providing services offered by our organization.

For example, personal information may be used to: contact you about team acceptance to the tournament; provide you with tournament-specific information around schedules, merchandise sales, event logistics, offers, sponsors, safety concerns etc.; obtain necessary team information and forms on your athletes, coaches, and team managers, which will be shared with our operations team, Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association and BC Hockey as required; or provide feedback on your tournament experience. Some optional player and contact information may be requested by the Pat Quinn Classic, and that information will be shared with Rink Net, who will use that data to supply to their registered scouts. Any of the optional information provided is the responsibility of the team manager or coach, and the responsibility to obtain consent from the players and parent/guardian to share that information. In most cases, we try to obtain explicit consent before these activities will occur. At any time, anyone may request that we stop communicating by contacting us directly.
