DATA PRIVACY OVERVIEW

The U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Commission have agreed on a set of data protection principles and associated supplemental principles to enable U.S. companies to satisfy European Union (“EU”) law requiring that Personal Data transferred from the EU to the U.S. be adequately protected (the “EU-U.S Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF)”). The European Economic Area (the “EEA”), which as of the date of this Policy includes all member states of the EU including Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway, have recognized the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework as providing adequate protection of Personal Data.

Should there be any conflict between the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles and this Policy, this Policy shall be interpreted to be consistent with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles.

SCOPE

This Policy applies to all Personal Data received by Hoopis Performance Network, LLC in the United States from the EEA either directly from individuals, from its affiliates or from other third party organizations, and in any format whatsoever, including electronic, paper or oral transmission.

This Policy also applies to Hoopis Performance Network’s Subcontractors (defined below) that process Personal Data received by Hoopis Performance Network, LLC or its affiliates from the EEA on behalf of Hoopis Performance Network, LLC.

Please refer to your web browser “Help” instructions to learn more about cookies and how to manage their use. If you turn cookies off, however, you will not have access to many features of our site, like the features mentioned above, and some of our services will not function properly.

We may, over time, delete these records as permitted by law.

USE AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

We use the information we collect about you in order 1) to provide our services, 2) to provide customer service, 3) to improve our services and 4) to provide you information regarding our services and those of our affiliates. We give access to individually identifiable information only to those HPN staff members who require to fulfill these functions. We also employ other companies and individuals to provide and perform certain website and e-commerce related functions on our behalf, such as fulfilling orders, analyzing data, processing credit card payments and providing customer service. These companies and individuals may have access to personal information needed to perform these functions, but may not use it for any other purposes.

We may also communicate with you via e-mail, U.S. mail or telephone to provide requested goods and/or services, answer questions regarding those goods and/or services, complete transactions requested by you, such as your purchase or return of a product, resolve complaints, or send you administrative communications either about your account with us or about important changes to our services, which may include any future changes to this Privacy Policy. Generally, you cannot opt out of these communications, but they will be primarily informational in nature rather than promotional.

Regardless of any opt-out choices that you make, HPN may disclose personal information when it believes in good faith that such disclosures (a) are required by law, including, for example, to comply with a court order or subpoena or (b) will help to enforce any terms and conditions of use on our website; protect your safety or security, including the safety and security of property that belongs to you; and/or, protect the safety and security of our website, HPN, and/or third parties, including the safety and security of property that belongs to HPN or third parties.

PRIVACY PRINCIPLES FOR PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA RECEIVED FROM THE EEA

The privacy principles set forth in this Policy have been developed based on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles.

NOTICE

Notice will be provided in clear and conspicuous language when individuals are first asked to provide Personal Data to Hoopis Performance Network, LLC, or as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event before Hoopis Performance Network, LLC uses the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected.

Hoopis Performance Network, LLC may from time to time process certain Personal Data about customers, business partners, suppliers, vendors, service providers, employees and candidates for employment, including information recorded and stored on various types of media, including electronic media.

Hoopis Performance Network will process these types of data in conformity with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles and will continue to apply the Principles to personal data received under the application of the EU-U.S. DPF as long as it holds this data.

Purposes for which we may collect and use Personal Data from our customers, consumers and other non-employees include:

  • Communicating to individuals about our products, services and related issues.
  • Evaluating the quality of our products and services.
  • Allowing individuals to register for our websites and administering and processing these registrations.
  • Transferring Personal Data in connection with Hoopis Performance Network, LLC’s legal, regulatory compliance and auditing purposes.
  • Facilitating Hoopis Performance Network, LLC’s internal administrative purposes and application functionality, maintaining, administering, and complying with Hoopis Performance Network, LLC’s legal, regulatory compliance and auditing obligations, policies and procedures.
  • Execution of contracts and delivery of our products and services to customers.

We may share Personal Data within the U.S. family of Hoopis Performance Network, LLC’s companies. Hoopis Performance Network, LLC may also share Personal Data with its third-party subcontractors for the sole purpose of, and only to the extent needed, to support HPN’s or our customers’ business needs. We may also disclose Personal Data to our subcontractors in the U.S. and other third parties when required to do so under law or by legal process. Third Party Subcontractors are required to keep Personal Data received from Hoopis Performance Network, LLC confidential and may not use it for any purpose other than originally intended.

OUTSIDE LINKS

This site may contain links to third party sites not controlled by Hoopis Performance Network, LLC or covered by this privacy policy. We recommend that you check the privacy statement of other sites you visit before providing any personal information.

A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT CHILDREN

HPN’s website is for the use of adults only. HPN does not knowingly collect personal information from or conduct business with minors (under the age of 18) and we ask that minors do not submit any personal information to us via this website.

CHOICE

Hoopis Performance Network, LLC will offer individuals in the EEA the opportunity to choose (by either opt-out or opt-in) if their Personal Data is (a) to be disclosed to a third party that is not an Agent, or (b) to be used for a purpose materially different from the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual.

For Sensitive Personal Data, Hoopis Performance Network, LLC will give individuals the opportunity to affirmatively and explicitly consent (opt-in) to permit HPN to (a) disclose their Sensitive Personal Data to a third party that is not an Agent or (b) use Sensitive Personal Data for a purpose materially different from the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual.

Hoopis Performance Network, LLC will provide individuals with reasonable, clear and conspicuous and readily available mechanisms to exercise these choices.

ACCOUNTABILTY FOR ONWARD TRANSFER

Hoopis Performance Network, LLC will transfer Personal Data to Subcontractors only for limited and specific purposes. HPN will obtain contractual assurances from its Subcontractors that they will safeguard Personal Data in a manner consistent with this Policy and that they will provide at least the same level of protection as is required by the relevant EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles. Hoopis Performance Network, LLC recognizes its responsibility and potential liability for onward transfers to Subcontractors. Where HPN has knowledge that an Agent is using or disclosing Personal Data in a manner contrary to this Policy and/or the level of protection as required by the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles, Hoopis Performance Network will take reasonable steps to prevent, remediate or stop such use or disclosure.

If Hoopis Performance Network, LLC transfers Personal Information to non-agent third parties acting as a Controller, HPN will apply the Notice and Choice principles and will obtain contractual assurance from these parties that they will provide the same level of protection as is required under the principles, unless derogation for specific situations under European data protection law applies.

ACCESS

You can review the personal information you provided us and make any desired changes to such information at any time by requesting a copy of the information maintained by HPN about you at info@hoopis.com. Upon request and in accordance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles, Hoopis Performance Network, LLC will grant individuals reasonable access to their Personal Data that is held by HPN. In addition, Hoopis Performance Network will take reasonable steps to permit individuals to correct, amend, or delete their Personal Data that is demonstrated to be inaccurate, incomplete or processed in violation of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles. In accordance with the EU-U.S. DPF Principles, Hoopis Performance Network may limit or deny access to Personal Data where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the individual’s privacy, where the legitimate rights of persons other than the individual would be violated or if necessary to safeguard important countervailing public interests (e.g., national security) or in other limited circumstances (e.g., disclosure would breach a legal or other professional privilege).

SECURITY

The security and confidentiality of your information is extremely important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect customer’s information from unauthorized access and improper use. Currently, one of the security measures we use is Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) technology. When you place an order online with HPN and provide your credit card number, SSL encrypts all personal information including your card number, name and address. In addition, all credit card transactions with HPN are fully Certified to comply with Visa’s Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP) and the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard. You can find more information regarding CISP and PCI here https://usa.visa.com/partner-with-us/pci-dss-compliance-information.html. From time to time, we review our security procedures in order to consider appropriate new technology and methods. Please be aware that, despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. Hoopis Performance Network, LLC will take reasonable precautions to protect Personal Data in its possession from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into due account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the Personal Data.

DATA INTEGRITY AND PURPOSE LIMITATION

Hoopis Performance Network, LLC will use Personal Data only in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which it was originally collected or as subsequently authorized by the individual. Hoopis Performance Network, LLC will also take reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Data is relevant to its intended use, accurate, complete, and current. Hoopis Performance Network, LLC will adhere to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles for as long it retains Personal Information received under its EU-U.S. DPF certification.
