‍

Exercising Your Rights under U.S. State Privacy Laws

‍

To exercise the rights described in this Privacy Policy, you or your Authorized Agent (if applicable and as defined below), must send us a request that (1) provides sufficient information to allow us to verify that you are the person about whom we have collected Personal Data (such as your Contact or Profile Data), and (2) describes your request in sufficient detail to allow us to understand, evaluate and respond to it. Each request that meets both of these criteria will be considered a “Valid Request.” We may not respond to requests that do not meet these criteria. We will only use Personal Data provided in a Valid Request to verify your identity and complete such Valid Request. You do not need an account to submit a Valid Request.

‍

We will work to respond to your Valid Request within the time period required by applicable privacy laws. We will not charge you a fee for making a Valid Request unless your Valid Request(s) is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that your Valid Request warrants a fee, we will notify you of the fee and explain that decision before completing such Valid Request.

‍

‍

As applicable, you may opt-out from any “sales,” “shares,” or targeted advertising through Cookies, by using the following methods:

The signal issued by the control must be initiated by your browser and applies to the specific device and browser you use at the time you cast the signal.

Opt-Out from the Processing of Sensitive Personal Data

‍

Depending on your state of residence, you may withdraw your consent or opt-out from our processing of your Sensitive Personal Data if afforded such right under the applicable US Privacy State Law. You can do so by emailing us at privacy@hive.co.

‍

Request to Access, Delete, Correct

If you are a California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey Oregon, or Texas resident, you may also authorize an agent (an “Authorized Agent”) to exercise your rights on your behalf. To do this, you must provide your Authorized Agent with written permission to exercise your rights on your behalf, and we may request a copy of this written permission from your Authorized Agent when they make a Valid Request on your behalf.

‍

Appealing a Denial

‍

If you are a Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, or Virginia resident and we refuse to take action on your Valid Request within a reasonable period of time after receipt in accordance with this section, you may appeal our decision. In such appeal, you must (1) provide sufficient information to allow us to verify that you are the person about whom the original Valid Request pertains and to identify the original Valid Request, and (2) provide a description of the basis of your appeal.

‍

For this section, we use the terms “Personal Data” and “processing” as they are defined in the GDPR, but “Personal Data” generally means information that can be used to individually identify a person, and “processing” generally covers actions that can be performed in connection with data such as collection, use, storage and disclosure. Hive will be the controller of your Personal Data processed in connection with the Services.

‍

If there are any conflicts between this section and any other provision of this Privacy Policy, the policy or portion that is more protective of Personal Data shall control to the extent of such conflict. If you have any questions about this section or whether any of the following applies to you, please contact us at privacy@hive.co. Note that we may also process Personal Data of our customers’ end users or employees in connection with our provision of certain services to customers, in which case we are the processor of Personal Data. If we are the processor of your Personal Data (i.e., not the controller), please contact the controller party in the first instance to address your rights with respect to such data. Please note that your rights may be subject to certain conditions or exceptions in accordance with the GDPR.

• Contractual Necessity:  We process the following categories of Personal Data as a matter of “contractual necessity”, meaning that we need to process the data to perform under our Terms of Use with you, which enables us to provide you with the Services.

  • Social Network Data
  • Consumer Demographic Data
  • Inferences Drawn from Other Personal Data Collected

Examples of these legitimate interests include (as described in more detail above):

• Corresponding with you.
• Meeting legal requirements and enforcing legal terms.

EU and UK Data Subject Rights

In some cases, we may also need you to provide us with additional information, which may include Personal Data, if necessary to verify your identity and the nature of your request.

• Access: You can request more information about the Personal Data we hold about you and request a copy of such Personal Data. If you are a Hive customer, you can also access certain of your Personal Data by logging on to your account.
• Rectification:  If you believe that any Personal Data we are holding about you is incorrect or incomplete, you can request that we correct or supplement such data. If you are a Hive customer, you can also correct some of this information directly by logging on to your account.
• Erasure: You can request that we erase some or all of your Personal Data from our systems.
• Withdrawal of Consent: If we are processing your Personal Data based on your consent (as indicated at the time of collection of such data), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note, however, that if you exercise this right, you may have to then provide express consent on a case-by-case basis for the use or disclosure of certain of your Personal Data, if such use or disclosure is necessary to enable you to utilize some or all of our Services.
• Portability: You can ask for a copy of your Personal Data in a machine-readable format. You can also request that we transmit the data to another controller where technically feasible.
• Objection: You can contact us to let us know that you object to the further use or disclosure of your Personal Data for certain purposes, such as for direct marketing purposes.
• Restriction of Processing: You can ask us to restrict further processing of your Personal Data.‍

  ‍

Transfers of Personal Data

‍

The Services are hosted and operated in the United States (“U.S.”) through Hive and its service providers, and if you do not reside in the U.S., laws in the U.S. may differ from the laws where you reside. By using the Services, you acknowledge that any Personal Data about you, regardless of whether provided by you or obtained from a third party, is being provided to Hive in the U.S. and will be hosted on U.S. servers, and you authorize Hive to transfer, store and process your information to and in the U.S., and possibly other countries. In some circumstances, your Personal Data may be transferred to the U.S. pursuant to a data processing agreement incorporating standard data protection clauses and/or the Data Privacy Framework(s).

‍

Data Privacy Frameworks

‍

Hive complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (“EU-U.S. DPF”) and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF (“UK-U.S. DPF”) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce.  Hive has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (“EU-U.S. DPF Principles”) with regard to the processing of all personal data received from the European Union in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and in reliance on the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF (the “UK-U.S. DPF Principles”) as to the processing of all personal data received from the United Kingdom (and Gibraltar). If there is any conflict between the terms in this Privacy Policy and the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and the UK-U.S. DPF Principles, the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and the UK-U.S. DPF Principles shall govern.  To learn more about the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK-U.S. DPF, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.

‍

The Federal Trade Commission has jurisdiction over Hive’s compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK-U.S. DPF. This Privacy Policy describes the types of Personal Data we collect, the purposes for which we collect and use your Personal Data, and the purposes for which we disclose your Personal Data to certain types of third parties in the sections above.  Pursuant to the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK-U.S. DPF, EU and UK individuals have the right to obtain our confirmation of whether we maintain Personal Data relating to them in the U.S. Upon request, we will provide EU and UK individuals with access to the Personal Data that we hold about them. EU and UK individuals may also correct, amend, or delete the Personal Data we hold about them where it is inaccurate, or has been processed in violation of the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and the UK-U.S. DPF Principles, except where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the individual’s privacy in the case in question, or where the rights of persons other than the individual would be violated. An EU and UK individual who seeks access, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate data transferred to the U.S. under the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK-U.S. DPF, should direct their query to privacy@hive.co. If requested to remove data, we will respond within a reasonable timeframe. For more information about rights afforded to EU and UK individuals, please see the “European Union and United Kingdom Data Subject Rights” section of this Privacy Policy. 

‍

In addition, under the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK-U.S. DPF, we will provide EU and UK individuals with the choice to opt-out from the sharing of their Personal Data with any third parties (other than our agents or those that act on our behalf or under our instruction), or before we use it for a purpose that is materially different from the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized. 

‍

In addition to any other disclosures described in our Privacy Policy, in certain situations, we may be required to disclose Personal Data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

Hive’s accountability for Personal Data that it receives in the U.S. under the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK-U.S. DPF and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on our behalf is described in the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and the UK-U.S. DPF Principles. In particular, Hive remains liable under the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and the UK-U.S. DPF Principles if our agents process Personal Data in a manner inconsistent with the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and the UK-U.S. DPF Principles, unless Hive proves that we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

‍

In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK-U.S. DPF, Hive commits to resolve EU-U.S. DPF Principles and UK-U.S. DPF Principles-related complaints about our collection and use of your Personal Data. EU and UK individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding our handling of personal data received in reliance on the DPF should first contact Hive at privacy@hive.co.

‍

Hive has further committed to refer unresolved complaints under the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK-U.S. DPF program to an independent dispute resolution mechanism, Data Privacy Framework Services, operated by BBB National Programs. If you are an EU or UK individual and you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your EU-U.S. DPF Principles or UK-U.S. DPF Principles-related complaint, or if your complaint is not satisfactorily addressed, please visit https://bbbprograms.org/programs/all-programs/dpf-consumers/ProcessForConsumers for more information and to file a complaint. This service is provided free of charge to you. 

‍

If your EU-U.S. DPF or UK-U.S. DPF complaint cannot be resolved through the above channels, under certain conditions, you may invoke binding arbitration for some residual claims not resolved by other redress mechanisms. See Annex 1 of the Data Privacy Framework Principles, located at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/article/ANNEX-I-introduction-dpf?tabset-35584=2.
