GENERAL INFORMATION

This Loyalty Programs Privacy Notice ("Notice") complements and forms an integral part of the Privacy Policy of Metro ("Policy").

In this Notice, Metro provides its Customers with details on how their Personal Information is collected, used and disclosed when they subscribe to a loyalty or rewards program offered by Metro or one of its partners, including the Moi program available in participating stores in Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick.
