Data Processing Addendum
Privacy (Symptom Check)
Thank you for your interest in this Cookie Policy and welcome to Hopp Health and our website and shop located at http://hopp.health (our “website”). Our website uses cookies to remember your preferences and help you obtain the right information. Cookies also allow us to understand how our website is being used.
Our website is operated and maintained by Hopp Health of 4 Wellington Circus, Nottingham NG1 5AL (“Hopp Health”, “we”, “us”, “our”). If you want to contact us or if you have any questions, you can reach us by email using info@hopp.health with "Data Protection" in the subject line.
This Cookie Policy sits in line with our obligations set out in the UK’s Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (“PECR”) and the EU's Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (“PECD”). In accordance with them, we need to inform you about the cookies we use and obtain your consent when using certain types of cookies, namely functional, performance, analytical, and advertising cookies (“Optional Cookies”).
A cookie is a small text file that is sent to your device's hard drive by a website. Each time you return to the same website, your browser retrieves and sends the relevant cookie(s) to the website’s server. Cookies can be divided into the following two broad categories:
Essential or necessary cookies These cookies are essential or necessary to ensure that a website works properly and is secure so that you can navigate a website and use its features. Without these cookies, certain features of a website would not function, and thus you would not be able to use certain services.
Optional Cookies. These cookies are non-essential for the website to function and require your consent. When it comes to optional cookies, the following distinctions are made:
We utilize the below-mentioned cookies to provide users with an improved user experience.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of
Google
. Google Analytics uses a specific form of cookie, which is stored on your device and enables an
analysis of your use of our website. The cookies set by Google Analytics for measurement are different
for each visitor (i.e., there is not a single Google Analytics cookie ID that is used on all sites using
Google Analytics). The information about your use of our website generated by the cookie is generally
transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Google uses this information on our behalf to analyse your use of this website in order to compile reports on website activities and provide additional services related to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other data. In the configuration of Google Analytics, we ensured that Google receives this data as a processor and is therefore not allowed to use this data for its own purposes.
In relation to the data transfer into the USA Google’s processing agreement for Google Analytics, can be read here . You can disable tracking by Google Analytics with future effect by downloading and installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for your current web browser following this link .
Pixel Cookies and Tags
We use so-called Pixel Cookies and Tags (“Pixel Cookies”). A Pixel Cookie is an advertising tool and
typically consists of a JavaScript code snippet that allows us to understand and track visitors'
activity on our website. For this purpose, Pixel Cookies collect and process information about visitors
of our website and the device used (so-called event data).
Event data collected through Pixel Cookies is used for targeting our advertisements and improving ad delivery and personalised advertising. For this purpose, the event data collected on our website by means of Pixel Cookies is transmitted to the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie and, in part, also stored on your device. However, this only happens with your consent, and we and the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie are considered joint controllers. Nonetheless, for the subsequent processing of the transmitted event data, the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie is the sole controller.
For more information about how the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie processes personal data, including the legal basis on which they rely on and how you can exercise your rights, please refer to the following Privacy Policies: Facebook , Instagram , Google , TikTok , and YouTube .
Google Ads
We use Google Ads, an online advertising service provided by
Google LLC
. Google Ads enables us to show advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites
when the user enters certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted
advertisements can be shown on the basis of user data available to Google (e.g., location data and
interests) (target group targeting). With the help of Google Ads, we can evaluate this data
quantitatively, for example, which search terms have led to the display of our advertisements and how
many ads have resulted in corresponding clicks. The use of this service is based on your consent.
Google Ads Remarketing
We also use the remarketing functions of Google Ads. Google Ads Remarketing allows us to assign people
who interact with our advertisements and website to specific target groups and to display interest-based
advertising to them within the Google advertising network.
Further, the advertising target groups created by us using Google Ads Remarketing can be linked to Google's cross-device functions. This means that interest-based, personalised advertising (that is, advertising that has been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behaviour) can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g., tablet or PC). The use of this service is based on your consent.
Google Conversion Tracking
We also use Google Conversion Tracking. With the help of Google conversion tracking, we and Google can
recognise whether the user has performed certain actions. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on
our website were clicked how often and which products were viewed or purchased particularly frequently.
This information is used to create conversion statistics. We also learn the total number of users who
clicked on our ads and what actions they took. We do not receive any information with which we can
personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for
identification. The use of this service is based on your consent.

We want you to feel comfortable when you are using our healthcare diagnosis and information services and their underlying functions through our online portal (“Services”) and not have to worry about the security of your data. That is why data protection is an important part of our corporate philosophy.
In this Privacy Policy, you will find all the information about which Personal Data we collect and process and for what purpose. Equally, we will also inform you of your data protection rights and how you can assert them.
Please note that this SaaS Privacy Policy is supplemental to our Website Privacy Policy and applies to your use of our Services only. You should read this policy in line with our Website Privacy and Cookie Policy.
a) What is Personal Data?
Personal Data is any includes information relating to an individual who can be identified or who is identifiable, directly from the information in question; or who can be indirectly identified from that information in combination with other information.
b) What is Special Category Data?
Special category data is Personal Data that needs more protection because it is sensitive. This includes Personal Data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data. As well as, data concerning health, a person's sex life; and a person's sexual orientation. In order to lawfully process Special Category Data, it is necessary to consent to the processing.
c) What is processing?
Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon Personal Data, whether or not by automatic means. The term is broad and covers virtually any handling of data.
d) Who is responsible for data processing?
A “data controller” is a person or organisation who alone or jointly determines the purposes for which and the manner in which any personal data is, or is likely to be, processed. In this sense, Hopp Health of 4 Wellington Circus, Nottingham NG1 5AL (“Hopp Health”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is the data controller.
If you have any questions about this policy or about data protection at Hopp Health in general, you can reach us by email using info@hopp.health with “Data Protection” in the subject line.
e) What law applies?
We will only use your Personal Data in accordance with the UK's Data Protection Act (“DPA”) and the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and of course only as described in this Privacy Policy.
f) What are the Legal Bases for processing Personal Data
We have to have at least one of the following legal bases to process your Personal Data: a) you have given your consent, b) the data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract / pre-contractual measures, c) the data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation, or d) the data is necessary to protect our legitimate interests, provided that your interests are not overridden.
g) Who is the competent data protection authority?
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the UK's authority in matters of data protection. You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the ICO ( www.ico.org.uk ). I would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO.
h) How long and where will you keep my data?
We process and store your Personal Data only for the period of time required to achieve the respective processing purpose or for as long as a legal retention period exists (in particular, commercial and tax law in accordance with the UK's Commercial Law and Fiscal Code). Once the purpose has been achieved or the retention period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted. All data collected is generally transferred to our server and stored in a dedicated database. The legal basis for the data processing is our legitimate interest in providing our Services. We ensure that processing is governed by Processing Agreements that include Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure a high level of data protection. We store the data until you delete your user account. Insofar as legal retention periods are to be observed, storage also takes place beyond the time of deletion of a user account.
a) Technical Data
When you access our Service, some access data is recorded automatically and stored in a log file on our in-house server. This means if you access our Service, we process a) the IP address of your computer, b) the date and time of your access, c) the name and URL of the accessed file, d) the browser used, e) the amount of bytes transferred, f) the status of the page request, g) the session ID and g) the referrer URL. The legal basis for processing is our legitimate interest.
b) Contacting us and contracting with us
You can contact us in various ways, and data is always collected in the process. You provide us with most of the data that we process when you contact us, such as your name and email address. This data is collected and processed exclusively for the purpose of contacting you and processing your request and then deleted again, provided that there is no legal obligation to retain it.
We process the personal data that arises when you use our Service in order to provide our contractual services. In particular, this includes our support, correspondence with you, invoicing, and fulfilment of our contractual, accounting, and tax obligations. Accordingly, the data is processed on the basis of the fulfilment of our contractual obligations and our legal obligations.
If you register, we will request mandatory and, where applicable, non-mandatory data in accordance with our registration form (your name, company name, email address, telephone number, and your selected password). The entry of your data is encrypted so that third parties cannot read your data when it is entered. For the purpose of logging in to our Service, you will provide your password together with your email address. We will hold your data for further orders as long as you have your account and user contract with us.
Lastly, we process data in the context of administrative tasks as well as the organisation of our operations, financial accounting, and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In this regard, we process the same data that we process in the course of providing our contractual services. The purpose and our interest in the processing lie in the administration, financial accounting, office organisation, and archiving of data, i.e., tasks that serve the maintenance of our business activities, performance of our tasks, and provision of our services.
The legal basis for processing the above is our legitimate interest, the provision or initiation of a contractual service, and your consent.
c) When using our Service
If you wish to use our Service and its features, we process the data you provide (depending on how you are using our Service) which may include Personal Data and Special Category Data that you make available to us (“Service Data”).
We recognise that you own your Service Data and provide you with complete control of your Service Data by providing you the ability to (i) access your Service Data, (ii) share your Service Data through supported third-party integrations, and (iii) request export or deletion of your Service Data.
When we process Service Data, we become your Data Processor or in other words, we will process the Service Data involved in your use of our Service in accordance with your instructions and shall use it only for the purposes agreed upon between you and us.
Some of the Personal Data you provide may be considered “special” or “sensitive”. This includes Personal Data concerning for example your health, racial or ethnic origins, sexual orientation, and religious beliefs. By choosing to provide this data, you consent to our processing of that data.
You have choices about the Personal Data you provide and how you share it. You don’t have to provide Personal Data or Special Category Data; however, information about you helps you to get more from our Services. It’s your choice whether to include Personal Data or Special Category Data and to make that information available to us. Please do not share information that you would not want to be available.
We ensure that access by our employees to your data is only available on a need-to-know basis, restricted to specific individuals, and is logged and audited. We communicate our privacy and security guidelines to our employees and enforce privacy and protection safeguards strictly.
Some jurisdictions may require you to disclose your use of our SasS as your processor in your privacy policy and/or data processing agreement as applicable. For this purpose, all Service Data processed by us will be processed using our in-house servers, and we will take appropriate legal precautions and corresponding technical and organisational measures to ensure the protection of your Service Data.
We and you agree that the 2021 Standard contractual clauses for international transfers will apply to personal data that is transferred via the Services from the UK, European Economic Area or Switzerland, either directly or via onwards transfer, to any country or recipient outside the UK, European Economic Area or Switzerland that is not recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data.
Further and if you are providing us with Personal Data relating to a third party, you agree a) that you have in place all necessary appropriate consents and b) that such third party has read this Privacy Policy. You agree to indemnify us in relation to all and any liabilities, penalties, fines, awards, or costs arising from your non-compliance with these requirements.
The legal basis for the processing of your Service Data is our obligation to fulfil the contract we have with you and in case of Special Category Data, your explicit consent.
d) Support ticket
If you create a support ticket, we will request Personal Data and, where applicable, non-Personal Data in accordance with your request; this may include your name, email address, and other service-related data you voluntarily provide. The data provided is not shared with third parties, and cannot read your data when it is entered. If you submit a support ticket, we process the data for the purpose of processing and handling your ticket.
Our employees will also have access to data that you knowingly share with us for technical support or to import data into our services. We communicate our privacy and security guidelines to our employees and enforce privacy safeguards strictly. The legal basis of the data processing is our obligation to fulfill the contract and/or our legitimate interest in processing your support ticket.
In certain cases, it is necessary to transmit the processed Personal Data in the course of data processing. In this respect, there are different recipient bodies and categories of recipients.
Internal
If necessary, we transfer your Personal Data within our Service. Of course, we comply with the associated legal framework and ensure that your data is processed properly. Access to your Personal Data is only granted to authorised employees who need access to the data due to their job, e.g., to provide our services or to contact you in case of queries.
We may also share your Personal Data with our business partners for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including (but not limited to) conducting the services you request or customising our business to better meet your needs.
External bodies
Personal Data is transferred to our service providers in the following instances:
International transfers
We may transfer your Personal Data to other companies as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. In order to provide adequate protection for your Personal Data when it is transferred, we have contractual arrangements regarding such transfers. We take all reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the Personal Data we transfer.
In order to protect the data stored with us in the best possible way against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or access by unauthorised persons, we use appropriate technical and organisational security measures. The security levels are continuously reviewed in cooperation with security experts and adapted to new security standards.
Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. And databases or data sets that include Personal Data may be breached inadvertently or through wrongful intrusion. Upon becoming aware of a data breach, we will notify all affected individuals whose Personal Data may have been compromised as expeditiously as possible after which the breach was discovered.
a) Privacy rights
You can exercise the following rights:
b) Update your information and withdraw your consent
If you believe that the information we hold about you is inaccurate or request its rectification, deletion, or object to legitimate interest processing, please do so by contacting us.
c) Access Request
In the event you want to make a Data Subject Access Request, please contact us. We will respond to requests regarding access and correction as soon as reasonably possible. Should we not be able to respond to your request within thirty (30) days, we will tell you why and when we will be able to respond to your request. If we are unable to provide you with any Personal Data or to make a correction requested by you, we will tell you why.
d) Complaint to a supervisory authority
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the UK`s authority in matters of data protection. You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the ICO ( www.ico.org.uk ). I would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO.
e) Data Breaches and Notification
Databases or records containing Personal Data may be breached accidentally or through unlawful intrusion. As soon as we become aware of a data breach, we will notify all affected individuals whose Personal Data may have been compromised, and the notification will be accompanied by a description of the measures that will be taken to repair the damage caused by the data breach. Notifications will be sent as soon as possible after the violation is discovered.
f) What we do not do
The following applies to users located in the United States. While we understand and appreciate that privacy and consumer data protection laws differ as they are subject to each state's legislature and that no data protection framework similar to the EU's GDPR exists on a federal level, we are committed to follow and apply the for-your-state relevant privacy rules and regulations.
As of the day of drafting, the following states had enacted privacy and consumer data protection laws: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Montana, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia. Under consideration of the similarities of the above provisions, no conflict should arise pursuing a uniform approach in granting all users in the USA the same rights and privileges as set out above. However, should ambiguity occur, the most stringent provision is chosen to ensure the most comprehensive approach when it comes to protecting your Personal Data.
Further, the following also apply
i) “Shine the Light”
“Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section 1798.83) requires us to respond to requests from California asking about the business's practices related to disclosing Personal Data to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. You may make a request about our collection and disclosure of your Personal Data using the contact details provided.
ii) COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of Personal Data from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.
iii) CAN SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations. To be in accordance with CAN SPAM, we agree to the following: If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can email us, and we will promptly remove you from ALL correspondence.
iv) Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)
If we process your Personal Data for the purpose of sending you SMS marketing communications, you may manage your receipt of marketing and non-transactional communications from us by replying or texting ‘STOP’ if you receive our SMS communications. In this respect, the data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our consent in personalised direct advertising per SMS.
v) Controls For Do-Not-Track Features
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ('DNT') feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognising and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this policy.
v) Controls For Do-Not-Track Features
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ('DNT') feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognising and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this policy.
vi) Right to complain
Finally, in regard to the right to complain to a supervisory authority. You have the right to lodge a complaint about our processing of Personal Data with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. Users based in the abovementioned states may lodge a complaint with the relevant district attorney or attorney general office. However, we would appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before you contact any supervisory authority.
Both Canada and Mexico have introduced data protection laws that are similar to the GDPR, namely Federal Law for the Protection of Personal Data in the Possession of Private Parties (“LFPDPPP”) supplemented by the Rules of the Federal Law for the Protection of Personal Data in the Possession of Private Parties in Mexico and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) in Canada. Under consideration that the GDPR has played a pivotal role, no conflict should arise pursuing a uniform approach in granting all users in Mexico or Canada the same rights and privileges as set out above. However, should ambiguity occur, the most stringent provision is chosen to ensure the most comprehensive approach when it comes to protecting your personal data.
In terms of your right to complain, Canada's national supervisory authority is the Office of the Privacy Commissioner ( www.priv.gc.ca ) and the National Institute of Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (Instituto Nacional de Transparencia, Acceso a la Información y Protección de Datos Personales) (“INAI”) is the national supervisory authority in Mexico ( www.ifai.org.mx ).
If you have any questions about this policy or the information we hold about you, please contact us by email using info@hopp.health with “Data Protection” in the subject line.
The first version of this policy was issued on Friday, 10th of January, 2024, and is the current version. Any prior versions are invalid, and if we make changes to this policy, we will revise the effective date.
In order that you, as a service user and data controller (referred to as “Controller” or “User”) may use or continue to use our healthcare diagnosis and information services (“Services”) offered by us, Hopp Health of 4 Wellington Circus, Nottingham NG1 5AL , and data processor (referred to as “Hopp Health” or “Processor”), you agree that certain Personal Data you submit as part of your use of our Services and these data processing terms (“Terms”) shall apply (notwithstanding any other terms and conditions applicable to the delivery of the Services to the contrary) in order to address the compliance obligations imposed upon Hopp Health and its Users pursuant to Applicable Law.
Hopp Health will not disclose User Personal Data to any third party without first obtaining User’s written consent, except as provided in Section 5, Section 7 or Section 9, except as required by law. Hopp Health will require all employees, contractors, and agents who Process User Personal Data on Hopp Health's behalf to protect the confidentiality of the User Personal Data and to comply with the other relevant requirements of this DPA.
To the extent legally permitted, Hopp Health will without undue delay notify User if Hopp Health receives any request from an individual seeking to exercise any right afforded to them under Applicable Law regarding their Personal Data (a “Data Subject Request”). To the extent User, in its use of the Services, does not have the ability to address a Data Subject Request, Hopp Health will, upon User’s request, take commercially reasonable efforts to assist User in responding to such Data Subject Request, to the extent Hopp Health is legally permitted to do so and the response to such Data Subject Request is required under Applicable Law.
Upon User’s written request, Hopp Health will provide User with reasonable cooperation and assistance as needed and appropriate to fulfill User’s obligations under Applicable Law to carry out a data protection impact assessment related to User’s use of the Services. Hopp Health will provide reasonable assistance to User in the cooperation or prior consultation with the Supervisory Authority (as defined under the GDPR) in the performance of its tasks relating to the data protection impact assessment, and to the extent required under the Applicable Law.
Hopp Health will allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by User or another auditor mandated by User subject to the following conditions: so long as the Agreement remains in effect, User may request that Hopp Health provide it with Hopp Health's most recent information security reports (“Records”) no more than once annually relating to Hopp Health's compliance with this DPA (an “Audit”). To the extent User uses a third-party representative at User’s sole expense to conduct the Audit, User will ensure that such third-party representative is bound by obligations of confidentiality no less protective than those contained in the Agreement. User will provide Hopp Health with ninety (90) business days prior written notice of its intention to conduct an Audit. User will conduct the Audit in a manner that will result in minimal disruption to Hopp Health's business operations and such Audit will take no longer than two (2) business days. Further, User will not be entitled to receive data or information of other Users of Hopp Health or any other Confidential Information of Hopp Health that is not directly relevant for the authorized purposes of the Audit.
If Hopp Health is legally compelled by a court or other government authority to disclose User Personal Data, then to the extent permitted by law, Hopp Health will promptly provide User with sufficient notice of all available details of the legal requirement and reasonably cooperate with User’s efforts to challenge the disclosure, seek an appropriate protective order, or pursue such other legal action, as Hopp Health deems appropriate.
Upon termination of the Agreement and written request from User, Hopp Health will delete or anonymize User Personal Data, unless prohibited by Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing will oblige Hopp Health to delete or anonymize User Personal Data from files created for security, backup and business continuity purposes sooner than required by Hopp Health's data retention processes. Any User Personal Data that may be retained beyond the duration of the Agreement will still be protected in accordance with this DPA and Hopp Health shall not process such User Personal Data except as strictly permitted under Applicable Law.
This DPA replaces any existing data processing addendum the Parties may have previously entered into in connection with the Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Agreement and this DPA, the terms of the DPA will apply. In the event of a conflict between this DPA and the applicable Standard Contractual Clauses, the Standard Contractual Clauses will apply.
Annexes I and II of the SCCs
Technical and Organizational Measures Including Technical and Organizational Measures to Ensure the Security of the Data
1.1. Module Two: Transfer Controller to Processor
1.2. Module Three: Transfer Processor to Processor
Description of the technical and organizational measures implemented by the data importer(s) (including any relevant certifications) to ensure an appropriate level of security, taking into account the nature, scope, context, and purpose of the processing and the risks for the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
Hopp Health uses certain sub-processors to assist Hopp Health in providing the Services. Prior to engaging any sub-processor who has access to, potentially will have access to, or processes User Data, Hopp Health conducts an assessment of the security and privacy practices of the sub-processor to ensure they are commensurate with the level of data access the sub-processor will have and the scope of the services it will provide. Hopp Health then enters into a written agreement with the sub-processor containing privacy, data protection, and data security obligations that ensure a level of protection appropriate to the sub-processor’s processing activities. Hopp Health performs annual reviews of its sub-processors to ensure that compliance and security standards are maintained and material changes to processes are reviewed.
Upon User’s written request (email to suffice), Hopp Health will provide to User for review a copy of Hopp Health's most recent annual audit results.
Welcome to Hopp Health and our website at http://hopp.health (our “website”). At Hopp Health, we are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.
This Privacy Policy sets out the basis on which we will process any Personal Data that we may collect about you as a visitor to our website or our customers or potential customers, or other business partners, or in any other cases where we specifically state that this policy will apply. This policy further sets out how we protect your privacy and your rights in respect of our use of your Personal Data.
Personal Data is information that makes it possible to identify a natural person. This includes, in particular, your name, date of birth, address, telephone number, and email address, but also your IP address. Anonymous data exists if no personal reference to the user can be made.
"Processing" means and covers virtually any handling of data.
We will only use your Personal Data in accordance with the UK's Data Protection Act (“DPA”) and the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and of course only as described in this Privacy Policy.
A “data controller” is a person or organisation who alone or jointly determines the purposes for which, and the manner in which, any personal data is, or is likely to be, processed. In this sense, Hopp Health of 4 Wellington Circus, Nottingham NG1 5AL (“Hopp Health”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is the data controller.
If you have any questions about this policy or about data protection at Hopp Health in general, you can reach us by email using info@hopp.health with “Data Protection” in the subject line.
In accordance with the BDSG and the GDPR, we have to have at least one of the following legal bases to process your Personal Data: a) you have given your consent, b) the data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract / pre-contractual measures, c) the data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation, or d) the data is necessary to protect our legitimate interests, provided that your interests are not overridden.
We may collect and process the following Personal Data about you:
a) Personal Data that you give us:
This is information about you that you give to us by filling in forms on our website (or other forms that we ask you to complete), or when you use our services, or correspond with us by telephone, post, email, or otherwise. It may include, for example, your name, address, email address, and telephone number; information about your business relationship with us; and information about your requirements, background, and interests.

Accordingly, the data is processed on the basis of fulfilling our contractual obligations and our legal obligations. For further details, please refer to our SaaS Privacy Policy and Data Processing Addendum.
If you make a purchase, your payment data will be processed via our payment service provider [Insert]. Payment data will solely be processed through [Insert] and we have no access to any payment data you may submit. The legal basis for the provision of a payment system is the establishment and implementation of the contract.
We process data in the context of administrative tasks as well as the organisation of our business and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving and accounting. In this regard, we process the same data that we process in the course of providing our contractual services. The processing bases are our legal obligations and our legitimate interest.
b) Personal Data that our website and other systems collect about you:

c) Cookies
We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are pieces of information that are transmitted from our web server or third-party web servers to your web browser and stored there for later retrieval. Cookies may be small files or other types of information storage. As set out in the UK’s Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (“PECR”) and the EU's Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (“PECD”), we need to obtain consent for the use of non-essential cookies. The legal basis for the use of essential cookies is our legitimate interest, and the legal basis for the use of non-essential cookies is your consent. For further information on the cookies we use, please refer to our Cookie Policy.
Our website also uses the cookie consent tool to obtain your consent to the storage of cookies and to document this consent. When you enter our website, the following Personal Data is transferred to us: i) Your consent(s) or revocation of your consent(s); ii) Your IP address; iii) Information about your browser; iv) Information about your device; v) Time of your visit to our website.

c) Other information
For business reasons, we analyse the data we have on web and server traffic patterns, website interactions, browsing behaviour, etc. The analyses serve us alone and are not disclosed externally and processed using anonymous analyses with summarised and/or anonymised values (“Aggregated Data”). Aggregated Data could be derived from your Personal Data but is not considered Personal Data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your Personal Data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as Personal Data which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy. For this purpose we use Google Analytics from Google. The legal basis is our legitimate interest and your consent. For further information on our use of Google Analytics, please refer to our Cookie Policy.
We may also collect, store, and use your Personal Data for the following purposes:
We will only process your Personal Data as necessary so that we can pursue the purposes described above and where we have a legal basis for such processing. Where our lawful basis for processing is that such processing is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests, we will only process your Personal Data where we have concluded that our processing does not prejudice you or your privacy in a way that would override our legitimate interest. In exceptional circumstances, we may also be required by law to disclose or otherwise process your Personal Data.
We will only use your Personal Data for the purposes for which we collected it as detailed above, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your Personal Data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you, and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
In certain cases, it is necessary to transmit the processed Personal Data in the course of data processing. In this respect, there are different recipient bodies and categories of recipients.
a) Internal
If necessary, we transfer your Personal Data within Hopp Health. Access to your Personal Data is only granted to authorised employees who need access to the data due to their job, e.g., to provide our services or to contact you in case of queries.
b) External bodies
Personal Data is transferred to our service providers in the following instances:
c) International transfers
We may transfer your Personal Data to other companies as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. In order to provide adequate protection for your Personal Data when it is transferred, we have contractual arrangements regarding such transfers. We take all reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the Personal Data we transfer.
Insofar as you have given us your consent to process your Personal Data for marketing and advertising purposes, we are entitled to contact you for these purposes via the communication channels you have given your consent to. Our marketing generally takes the form of email but may also include other less traditional or emerging channels. These forms of contact will be managed by us or by our contracted service providers. Every directly addressed marketing message sent by us or on our behalf will include a means by which you may unsubscribe or opt out.
For your convenience, our website may contain hyperlinks to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of linked websites or companies that are not owned or controlled by us, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to them. The links on our website may collect additional information in addition to the information we collect.
We do not endorse any of these linked websites, their products, services, or any content on their websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of each linked website you visit to understand how the information collected about you is used and protected.
We are present on social media based on our legitimate interest. If you contact or connect with us via social media, we and the relevant social media platform are jointly responsible for the processing of your data and enter into a so-called joint responsibility agreement. The Personal Data collected when you contact us is used to process your request, and the basis for this is both your consent and our legitimate interest.
We would like to show you interesting advertising outside of our website and use various third-party tools and cookies for this purpose. These collect and process information about your activities on our website - for example, which products you are interested in or which pages you visit. By knowing what you are looking for and how you use our website, we can adapt our advertising to your needs. And thus increase the likelihood that you will also be shown suitable and interesting advertising outside our website.
We also analyse this data to evaluate the relevance of the advertisements and to optimise the advertisements for you. Through the tools, your browser regularly establishes a connection to the server of the tool provider when you visit our website. For some tools, we have no direct influence on what data is processed by the providers. The following personal data may be processed by third-party providers i) HTTP header information (e.g., IP address, web browser, website URL, date and time); ii) measuring pixel-specific data (e.g., pixel ID and cookie ID); and iii) additional information about visits to our website (e.g., orders placed, products clicked on). The legal bases for processing are our legitimate interest and your consent in the case of cookies. For further information, please refer to our Cookie Policy.
We will delete your Personal Data when we no longer need such Personal Data, for instance, where:
Sometimes, however, there are legal or regulatory requirements which may require us to retain your Personal Data for a specified period, and in such cases we will retain your Personal Data for such specified period; and we may need to retain your Personal Data for certain longer periods in relation to legal disputes, and in such cases we will retain it for such longer periods to the extent required.
Our website uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content or contact requests that you send to us. We have also implemented numerous security measures (“technical and organisational measures"), for example, encryption or need-to-know access, to ensure the most complete protection of Personal Data processed through our website.
a) Privacy rights
You can exercise the following rights:
b) Update your information and withdraw your consent
If you believe that the information we hold about you is inaccurate or request its rectification, deletion, or object to legitimate interest processing, please do so by contacting us.
c) Access Request
In the event you want to make a Data Subject Access Request, please contact us. We will respond to requests regarding access and correction as soon as reasonably possible. Should we not be able to respond to your request within thirty (30) days, we will tell you why and when we will be able to respond to your request. If we are unable to provide you with any Personal Data or to make a correction requested by you, we will tell you why.
d) Complaint to a supervisory authority
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the UK`s authority in matters of data protection. You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the ICO ( www.ico.org.uk ). I would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO.
e) Data Breaches and Notification
Databases or records containing Personal Data may be breached accidentally or through unlawful intrusion. As soon as we become aware of a data breach, we will notify all affected individuals whose Personal Data may have been compromised, and the notification will be accompanied by a description of the measures that will be taken to repair the damage caused by the data breach. Notifications will be sent as soon as possible after the violation is discovered.
f) What we do not do
The following applies to users located in the United States. While we understand and appreciate that privacy and consumer data protection laws differ as they are subject to each state's legislature and that no data protection framework similar to the EU’s GDPR exists on a federal level, we are committed to follow and apply the for your state relevant privacy rules and regulations.
As of the day of drafting, the following states had enacted privacy and consumer data protection laws: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Montana, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia. Under consideration of the similarities of the above provisions, no conflict should arise pursuing a uniform approach in granting all users in the USA the same rights and privileges as set out above. However, should ambiguity occur, the most stringent provision is chosen to ensure the most comprehensive approach when it comes to protecting your Personal Data.
Further, the following also apply
i) “Shine the Light”
“Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section 1798.83) requires us to respond to requests from California asking about the business’s practices related to disclosing Personal Data to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. You may make a request about our collection and disclosure of your Personal Data using the contact details provided.
ii) COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of Personal Data from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.
iii) CAN SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations. To be in accordance with CAN SPAM, we agree to the following: If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can email us, and we will promptly remove you from ALL correspondence.
iv) Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)
If we process your Personal Data for the purpose of sending you SMS marketing communications, you may manage your receipt of marketing and non-transactional communications from us by replying or texting ‘STOP’ if you receive our SMS communications. In this respect, the data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our consent in personalised direct advertising per SMS.
v) Controls For Do-Not-Track Features
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ('DNT') feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognising and implementing DNT signals has been finalised. As such, our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this policy.
vi) Right to complain
Finally, in regard to the right to complain to a supervisory authority. You have the right to lodge a complaint about our processing of Personal Data with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. Users based in the abovementioned states may lodge a complaint with the relevant district attorney or attorney general office. However, we would appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before you contact any supervisory authority.
Both Canada and Mexico have introduced data protection laws that are similar to the GDPR, namely Federal Law for the Protection of Personal Data in the Possession of Private Parties (“LFPDPPP”) supplemented by the Rules of the Federal Law for the Protection of Personal Data in the Possession of Private Parties in Mexico and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) in Canada. Under consideration that the GDPR has played a pivotal role, no conflict should arise pursuing a uniform approach in granting all users in Mexico or Canada the same rights and privileges as set out above. However, should ambiguity occur, the most stringent provision is chosen to ensure the most comprehensive approach when it comes to protecting your personal data.
In terms of your right to complain, Canada’s national supervisory authority is the Office of the Privacy Commissioner ( www.priv.gc.ca ) and the National Institute of Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (Instituto Nacional de Transparencia, Acceso a la Información y Protección de Datos Personales) (“INAI”) is the national supervisory authority in Mexico ( www.ifai.org.mx ).
