Website Privacy Policy

June, 2025

1. Introduction

Homerun Technology Inc. (referred to as "Homerun") is committed to protecting the online privacy of the users of this website ("Website"). As such, this Privacy Policy has been written in order to allow you to understand Homerun's policy regarding your privacy, as well as how your personal information will be handled when using the Website. This Privacy Policy will also provide you with information so that you are able to consent to the processing of your personal data in an explicit and informed manner, where appropriate.

In general, any information and data which you provide to Homerun over the Website, or which is otherwise gathered via the Website by Homerun, in the context of the use of Homerun's services ("Services" as described in our Terms and Conditions), will be processed by Homerun in a lawful, fair and transparent manner. To this end, and as further described below, Homerun takes into consideration internationally recognised principles governing the processing of personal data, such as purpose limitation, storage limitation, data minimisation, data quality and confidentiality.

2. Data Controller and Data Protection Officer

Homerun, as identified at the top of this Privacy Policy, is the data controller regarding all personal data processing carried out through the Website.

For any questions regarding this privacy policy and our processing activities, you can contact the data controller at privacy@ahomerun.com or you can contact our Data Protection Officer at dpo@ahomerun.com.

3. Personal Data processed

When you use the Website, Homerun will collect and process information regarding you (as an individual) which allows you to be identified either by itself, or together with other information which has been collected. Homerun may also be able to collect and process information regarding other persons in this same manner, if you choose to provide it to Homerun.

This information may be classified as "Personal Data", and can be collected by Homerun both when you choose to provide it (e.g., when you contact Homerun through our online contact forms) or simply by analysing your behaviour on the Website.

Personal Data which can be processed by Homerun through the Website are as follows:

Name, contact details and other Personal Data

In order to access some of Homerun's Services made available over the Website - such as contacting Homerun to request further information, registering to our platform – Homerun may process Personal data, such as your identification data, e-mail, telephone number. For further information, please refer to our Terms and Conditions accessible at this link.

Job applications

If you provide data of third parties (e.g., contact details for references, minor's data etc.), you assume all the obligations and responsibilities prescribed by the law, conferring the widest indemnity with respect to any dispute, claim, request for compensation for damage, etc. that we may receive from third parties whose Personal Data were transmitted by you and processed in violation of the applicable data protection laws.

In some cases, your application may contain sensitive Personal Data relating to you or third parties, such as (but not limited to) information revealing your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, health, sex life or sexual orientation. We do not intend to use this information unless it is necessary or required for the position you are interested in (e.g., if the position is for persons belonging to protected categories or requiring special assistance). If not, please delete them before sending your application. If you send them anyway and they are not relevant, we inform you that they will not be taken into consideration. If, on the other hand, the collection of sensitive Personal Data is necessary to establish the relationship, the processing will be based on prior explicit consent.

Other persons' Personal Data

In any situation where you decide to share Personal Data related to other persons through the Website, you will be considered as an independent data controller regarding that Personal Data, and must assume all inherent legal obligations and responsibilities. This means, among other things, that you must fully indemnify Homerun against any complaints, claims or demands for compensation for damages which may arise from the processing of this Personal Data, brought by the third parties whose information you provide through the Homerun.

As Homerun does not collect this information directly from these third parties (but rather collects them, indirectly, from you), you must make sure that you have these third parties' consent before providing any information regarding them to Homerun; if not, then you must make sure there is some other appropriate grounds on which you can rely to lawfully give Homerun this information.

Browsing data

The Website's operation, as is standard with any websites on the Internet, involves the use of computer systems and software procedures, which collect information about the Website's users as part of their routine operation. While Homerun does not collect this information in order to link it to specific users, it is still possible to identify those users either directly via that information, or by using other information collected – as such, this information must also be considered Personal Data.

This information includes several parameters related to your operating system and IT environment, including your IP address, location (country), the domain names of your computer, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of resources you request on the Website, the time of requests made, the method used to submit requests to the server, the dimensions of the file obtained in response to a request, the numerical code indicating the status of the response sent by the server (successful, error, etc.), and so on.

These data are used to compile statistical information on the use of the Website, as well as to ensure its correct operation and identify any faults and/or abuse of the Website.

GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING AND MANDATORY / DISCRETIONARY NATURE OF PROCESSING

Homerun's grounds for processing your Personal Data, according to the purposes identified above, are as follows:

  • Service Provision: processing for these purposes is necessary to provide the Services and, therefore, is necessary for the performance of a contract with you. It is not mandatory for you to give Homerun your Personal Data for these purposes, and providing some of the Personal Data requested in the respective forms is purely optional; however, if you do not provide all mandatory information requested, Homerun will not be able to provide any Services to you;
  • Marketing: processing for these purposes is generally based on your consent. It is not mandatory for you to give consent to Homerun for use of your Personal Data for these purposes, and you will suffer no consequence if you choose not to (aside from not being able to receive further marketing communications from Homerun). Any consent given may also be withdrawn at a later stage (please see Data Subjects’ Rights for more information);

    Additionally, if you provide your e-mail address when acquiring any products or services from Homerun, that e-mail address may be used to send you direct marketing communications regarding Homerun's own similar products or services. You will be given the opportunity to object to this processing when you provide your e-mail address, and with each marketing communication you are sent (please see Data Subjects' Rights for more information).
  • Compliance: processing for this purpose is necessary for Homerun to comply with its legal obligations. When you provide any Personal Data to Homerun, Homerun must process it in accordance with the laws applicable to it, which may include retaining and reporting your Personal Data to official authorities for compliance with tax, customs or other legal obligations. Additionally, Homerun may process Personal Data where necessary to establish, exercise or defend any legal claims;
