Attention: Cannabis Licensees and Representatives
This letter/bulletin is to advise all Retail Cannabis Store Licensees, Cannabis Representatives and Cannabis Suppliers of important information regarding the sale and purchase of retail sales data.
AGLC has received numerous inquiries into the sale or purchase of retail sales data. The sale/purchase of retail sales data is permitted provided there is no element of inducement within the agreement.
As an example, any agreement whereby a supplier agrees to purchase data in exchange for a licensee carrying their product would be considered an inducement and not in compliance with Sections 118 and 119 of the Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Regulation. The Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Regulation can be found at https://aglc.ca/cannabis/cannabis-legislation-and-policies.
AGLC does not approve data sales agreements; however, inspectors may review agreements to ensure continued compliance with legislation and AGLC policies.
If you have any questions, please contact AGLC’s Compliance Branch at inspections.mailbox@aglc.ca.
