This Privacy Policy explains how Hopperson collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information provided through its website, mandate inquiry forms, direct correspondence, and engagement-related communications. This policy is written for a mandate-led aviation asset business operating from Hong Kong and applies to information submitted through the Hopperson website and related communications.
Scope
This policy applies to information submitted through the website, including enquiries relating to Transactions, Asset Management, Capital Coordination, Distressed Situations, Mandate Governance, Technical Capabilities, and general contact requests.
Information collected
Hopperson may collect and process the following categories of information:
How information is used
Hopperson processes information for the following purposes:
Basis for processing
Depending on the context, Hopperson may process personal information where it is necessary:
Confidentiality and handling of enquiries
Mandate enquiries are handled as non-public matters. Information submitted through the website is reviewed within Hopperson's mandate framework and used to assess whether and how an engagement may be appropriate.
Submitting a form, making contact, or providing information does not by itself create a mandate, advisory relationship, or obligation to accept an engagement.
Sharing of information
Hopperson does not sell personal information. Information may be shared only where relevant to the assessment, structuring, administration, or execution of a matter, including with:
International transfers
Aviation asset matters frequently involve cross-border stakeholders, counterparties, and service providers. As a result, personal information may be processed, accessed, or shared across more than one jurisdiction.
Where this occurs, Hopperson takes reasonable steps to ensure that information is handled with appropriate confidentiality and data protection safeguards, taking into account the nature of the matter and applicable legal requirements.
Retention
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose, including assessment of an enquiry, performance of an engagement, recordkeeping, dispute management, compliance, and legal obligations.
Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the matter, the relationship with the individual, and applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
Security
Hopperson uses reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse. No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is fully secure, but appropriate steps are taken to support controlled handling of information.
Individual rights
Subject to applicable law, individuals may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of their personal information, and in some cases to request restriction of processing, object to processing, or request portability of information.
Where processing is based on consent, consent may be withdrawn at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Cookies and technical website data
The website may use cookies or similar technologies to support functionality, security, performance, and website administration. Where additional cookie information or settings are provided, they should be read together with this Privacy Policy.
Data processing terms
Where a client engagement requires specific contractual data processing terms, including a data processing addendum, those terms are documented within the engagement agreement or provided separately on request.
Hong Kong jurisdiction
This Privacy Policy is intended to reflect Hopperson's handling of personal information in the context of a business operating from Hong Kong. Where applicable, personal data handling should be read in light of relevant Hong Kong data protection requirements, together with any other legal or regulatory rules that may apply to a specific matter or cross-border engagement.
