3. some detail about individuals’ privacy rights together with our general rights and obligations
4. our policy in relation to the personal information we keep on record.
2. How does HOOPSMART collect information?
Generally, we only collect personal information from the individual. Occasionally it is not reasonable or practical for one or the other of the parties to accomplish this. In these instances we have to assume that the person giving the information is properly authorised.
3. How does HOOPSMART collect information from its website?
We collect and hold personal information when we receive:
• an online application or application completed by our Coach’s or any other type of form;
• a message containing an email address;
• information stemming from access and use of our website.
Some information collected may be used for statistical research to improve the services that we provide to our customers. In such cases we de-identify all the information to ensure anonymity. Should any personal information be needed we would seek prior consent before proceeding any further.
We may also use personal information to communicate company matters, products, services and special promotions that might be relevant. People wishing not to receive such information should make clear their request to ‘opt out’ of receiving this type of information.
4. Consent to be provided
HOOPSMART will seek the consent of its customers when collecting personal information for a purpose other than for its primary purpose.
When using our services you consent to us collecting, maintaining, using and disclosing personal information, whether provided by you or by another person.
This privacy policy applies to related entities that are part of HOOPSMART. It cannot apply to parties that may be linked or associated with our organisation. Those parties are themselves responsible for the privacy of any information that they collect.
