Summary

Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries. Privacy impact assessment. In November 2019 Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries (MBLL) implemented its Controlled Entrance Initiative with the aim of improving the safety and security of Liquor Mart stores. The ombudsman initiated a review to assess and comment on the privacy implications of the initiative and whether the collection, use, disclosure and security of personal information of customers by MBLL complied with FIPPA.

MBLL advised our office in the fall of 2021 that it was considering extending its 24-hour retention period to 30 days. After receiving feedback from our office, MBLL decided to use a 21-day retention period, and this came into effect on February 16, 2022.
