  • In addition, we may use or disclose your personal information without your knowledge or consent where we are permitted or required by applicable law or regulatory requirements to do so.  

When do we Disclose Your Personal Information?

We may share your personal information with our employees, contractors, consultants and other parties who require such information to assist us with managing our relationship with you, including: third parties that assist Digital Hopr in the provision of services to you and third parties whose services we use to conduct our business. 

Such third parties may include lenders and dealerships who may wish to provide you with goods or services. They may also include related parties who process and store your personal information for us.

For example, our third party service providers may provide certain information technology, data processing, and advertising/marketing, and call center services to us from time to time so that we may operate our business, and as result, your personal information may be collected, used, processed, stored or disclosed in the United States of America, Canada and in Europe (including the United Kingdom and Russia), India or Asia (including China). As a result, your personal information may be used, stored or accessed in other countries and may be subject to the laws of those countries.  For example, information may be disclosed in response to valid demands or requests from government authorities, courts, or law enforcement agencies in those countries.

Where you have requested us to do so (either expressly or by your actions), we may share your personal information with persons who may consider you and/or your application for a loan, credit card or other product or service.  In connection with this, Digital Hopr and/or our third party business affiliate to perform a credit check on you to confirm your financial situation and your initial and ongoing eligibility for the products and services you have requested.

In addition, personal information may be disclosed or transferred to another party during the course of, or completion of, a change in ownership of or the grant of a security interest in, all or a part of Digital Hopr or its affiliates through, for example, an asset or share sale, or some other form of business combination, merger or joint venture, provided that such party is bound by appropriate agreements or obligations and required to use or disclose your personal information in a manner consistent with the use and disclosure provisions of this Privacy Policy, unless you consent otherwise. 

Further, your personal information may be disclosed:

  •   as permitted or required by      applicable law or regulatory requirements;
  • to comply with valid legal      processes such as search warrants, subpoenas or court orders;

  • during emergency situations      or where necessary to protect the safety of a person or group; or
  • with your consent. 

Your Consent is Important to Us

It is important to us that we collect, use or disclose your personal information where we have your consent to do so.  Depending on the sensitivity of the personal information, your consent may be implied, deemed (using an opt-out mechanism) or express.  Express consent can be given orally, electronically or in writing. Implied consent is consent that can reasonably be inferred from your action or inaction.  For example, when you enter into an agreement with us, we will assume your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information for purposes related to the performance of that agreement and for any other purposes identified to you at the relevant time.

Typically, we will seek your consent at the time that we collect your personal information.  In certain circumstances, your consent may be obtained after collection but prior to our use or disclosure of your personal information.  If we plan to use or disclose your personal information for a purpose not previously identified (either in this Privacy Policy or separately), we will endeavor to advise you of that purpose before such use or disclosure.

As we have described above, we may collect, use or disclose your personal information without your knowledge or consent where we are permitted or required to do so by applicable law or regulatory requirements.

We assume that, unless you advise us otherwise, you have consented to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as explained in this Privacy Policy.
