Privacy Policy Hypereum Ltd

Last updated: 26 March 2026

Hypereum Ltd ("Hypereum", "we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of individuals who interact with our website and services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share, and protect personal data in connection with our website at www.hypereum.tech (the "Site").

This Policy applies to all visitors and users of the Site regardless of location. Hypereum is based in the United Kingdom and primarily operates under the UK General Data Protection Regulation ("UK GDPR"). Where users are located in the European Economic Area, the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("EU GDPR") applies. For users in the United States, relevant provisions of the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA/CPRA") and other applicable US state privacy laws are addressed in this Policy.

As Hypereum expands its operations into additional jurisdictions, this Policy will be updated to reflect compliance with applicable local data protection laws, including but not limited to the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection ("FADP"), Brazil's Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados ("LGPD"), the United Arab Emirates Personal Data Protection Law ("UAE PDPL"), and the People's Republic of China Personal Information Protection Law ("PIPL"). Users in these jurisdictions are encouraged to contact us at privacy@hypereum.tech with any data protection enquiries.

This Policy does not constitute legal advice. If you have questions about your rights under applicable data protection law, we recommend consulting qualified legal counsel.

1. Identity and contact details

1.1 The data controller responsible for the processing of personal data described in this Policy is:

1.2 Contact email for all data protection enquiries: privacy@hypereum.tech

1.3 General enquiries: info@hypereum.tech

1A. Designation under Article 27 EU GDPR

1A.1 Hypereum Ltd is established in the United Kingdom and is not established in the European Union. As of the date of this Policy, Hypereum relies on the exemption provided by Article 27(2)(a) of the EU GDPR on the basis that its processing of personal data of EU data subjects is occasional, does not include large-scale processing of special categories of data or personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences, and is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, taking into account the nature, context, scope, and purposes of the processing.

1A.2 This exemption will be reviewed if the nature, scale, or scope of Hypereum's data processing activities changes — in particular, if Hypereum launches commercial products or services that involve systematic processing of EU data subjects' personal data. At that point, Hypereum will designate a representative in the EU in accordance with Article 27 EU GDPR and update this Policy accordingly.

1A.3 In the meantime, EU data subjects may direct any data protection enquiries to: privacy@hypereum.tech.

2. Categories of personal data

(b) Automatically collected data. When you visit the Site, our hosting infrastructure (Cloudflare) automatically collects certain technical data, including: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, date and time of access, and approximate geographic location derived from IP address. This data is collected through server logs and is necessary for the security and operation of the Site.

2.2 We do not collect sensitive personal data (also known as special category data under UK/EU GDPR, or sensitive personal information under CCPA/CPRA). This includes but is not limited to: racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data, health data, or data concerning sex life or sexual orientation.

2.3 We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 16 (or such other minimum age as required by applicable local law). If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child without appropriate consent, we will delete such data promptly.

LinkedIn may process your IP address and set cookies to provide aggregated analytics data. LinkedIn's privacy policy is available at linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
