11.2 Privacy

HOOPP takes the privacy of its members seriously. When you enrol an employee in HOOPP and at any other time HOOPP collects a member’s personal information, HOOPP will ensure that personal information is collected, used and disclosed only for the purpose of administering the Plan.

Examples of the personal information which HOOPP collects, uses and, where necessary, discloses for purposes of administering member benefits include:

• Date of birth

• Home address

• Social Insurance Number

• Beneficiary information

• Earnings

• Health information (where an application has been made for disability benefits)

HOOPP may collect, use and disclose the personal information of its members, but only as required to administer their pension benefits and the HOOPP Plan and, after retirement, to pay their pension. Permitted disclosures by HOOPP may include making certain information available to the Plan's auditors, actuaries and its other professional advisors and service providers for the purposes of their work in supporting the administration of the Plan and to pay pensions. HOOPP may also be required to disclose a member’s personal information to pension regulators.

HOOPP’s Privacy Statement is available on hoopp.com, and members can review the personal information that HOOPP has on file for them by contacting HOOPP.
