Purpose of this privacy policy
This Privacy Policy gives you information about how Hopin collects and processes your personal data when you use the Hopin and StreamYard services, including any data you may provide through the Hopin platform and on our websites. It also includes information about your rights, including your right to object to certain types of processing we carry out.
This privacy policy applies to all users of our apps, websites (including StreamYard which operates through the www.streamyard.com website), features, or other services anywhere in the world, unless covered by a separate privacy policy, such as the Boomset Privacy Policy, or Streamable Privacy Policy (the “Hopin Services”).
Controller/Processor
Data protection law in certain jurisdictions differentiates between the “controller” and “processor” of information. Hopin and our customers who are Event hosts are independent controllers of certain types of your personal data, such as the information you provide when you create an account to attend an Event (like name and email) and information about the Events you attend (like Event name and date and time of Event). Event hosts are the controller, and Hopin is the processor, of materials submitted by the Event host in the course of creating or during an Event, and includes any personal data included in such materials.
If you use StreamYard services, Event hosts are the controller and StreamYard is the processor.
Changes to our privacy policy and your duty to inform us of changes to your personal data
We keep our privacy policy under regular review and it may be updated periodically. Laws, regulations, and industry standards evolve, which may make those changes necessary, or we may make changes to our services or business. We will notify you by posting an updated, date-stamped version of this privacy policy on our website. If we make changes that materially alter the privacy policy, we will provide notice to you in accordance with applicable law. Notice may be by posting a notice on our website, by email to you at the email address that you most recently provided to us, or by other means, consistent with applicable law. Accordingly, please keep your account information, including email address, updated.
Your access to and use of third party websites or services accessible through the Hopin Services
The Hopin Services include links to third-party websites and applications as well as to integration and partner providers of multiple different types of services associated with a particular Event.
Third party web sites, applications, and integrations.
Clicking on links to third party websites, content, applications, or integrations may allow those third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control those third-party websites or content and are not responsible for their privacy statements or the way in which they collect or use your data.
Where you access or use third party services or integrations provided by an Event organiser, advertiser, sponsor or any other party who participates in an Event, we encourage you to request details of and read the privacy policy of that party. We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for their privacy statements or the way in which they collect or use your data.
Where other language versions of this Hopin Privacy Policy exist, the English version will prevail in the event of any conflict and/or confusion between the documents.
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:
If you fail to provide contractually required personal data
Certain information is contractually required to use our services. For example, to access Hopin’s platform you need to provide your name and email address. If you fail to provide required information, you will not be able to access our Services or we will not be able to perform the agreement we have or are trying to enter into with you.

We do not knowingly collect or process personal data from children, and no part of our Services is directed to them. A “child” is a person (a) under 13 years old (for residents outside of the EEA, except for the Republic of Korea); (b) under 16 years old or such age needed to consent to the processing of personal data in their country of residence (for residents of the EEA); or (c) under 14 years old (for residents of the Republic of Korea). If you are a parent or guardian and you learn that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our systems.
We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:
We have set out below, in a table format, a description of how and why we use your personal data, the categories of data used for each purpose and which of the Legal Bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.

Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that help us to improve the Hopin Services and your experience, see which areas and features of our Services are popular and count visits. We may also collect information using web beacons (also known as “tracking pixels”).

We may allow others to serve advertisements on our behalf across the internet and to provide analytics services. These entities may use cookies, web beacons and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Hopin Services and other websites, including your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked and conversion information. This information may be used by Hopin and others to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests on the Hopin Services and other websites and better understand your online activity.

When we transfer personal data out of the EEA, we ensure an appropriate degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
For a copy of the standard contractual clauses, please contact us via the details provided in the “Contact Us” section below.
We have put in place commercially reasonable security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so. That said, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee absolute data security.
How long will you use my personal data for?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint, if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you, or as required or permitted by applicable law.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You have the right to:

You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.
Performance of Contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.
