The steps we take to ensure your privacy and protection with Hopsie

Updated: May 25, 2018

About

We are committed to our users’ and their donors’ rights to privacy. We promise to share transparently all aspects of how the Hopsie product and website work in regards to privacy, terms, and personal data, and we are in full support of efforts to ensure your protection online.

This page acts as a central hub for information and resources to help answer any questions you have about your experience with Hopsie. If at anytime you have questions about anything outlined below or in any of our policies, please feel free to contact us at privacy@hopsie.com and we’ll respond to your requests promptly.

GDPR Compliance

The EU’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) take effect May 25, 2018 and we are fully behind the spirit of these regulations for a safe and secure Internet. We aspire to embrace privacy by design and, whenever possible, to not collect and store personally-identifiable information.

Our Privacy Policy contains mentions of the few instances where personally-identifiable information is required. This typically includes an email address and organization name to access and manage your account.

Overall, we aim for privacy by default: if data collection is not critical to the way our product works, then we won’t collect it. This approach has felt very much in line with the spirit of GDPR, and we’re fortunate that a lot of these data collection practices have been in place at Hopsie for some time.

At any time, you may request your information to be exported and sent to you for review, and we promptly honor any requests by you to have your information deleted and forgotten.

The following steps have been taken ahead of the compliance deadline of May 25, 2018.

Data Review & Mapping

We have audited all areas of the Hopsie platform and removed any data collection processes that are not essential to the functionality of our product.
