Our Policy:
Welcome to the My HPP Office mobile application (the “Mobile App”) of Hudson Pacific Services, Inc. and its affiliated companies (“Company”, “we”, “us” and/or “our”), powered by HqO, Inc. (“HqO”). This Mobile App and related services are provided by Company to augment a tenant’s experience at a commercial or residential property through providing information, services, and functionality related to the property (collectively, the “Company Services”), and are subject to the Terms of Service. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) sets out how Company collects, uses, discloses, and protects any Personal Data, including personally identifiable information, that you provide in connection with your use of the Mobile App and/or Company Services (“Personal Data”). We may receive and store any information that you provide to us or that we learn about you from your use of the Mobile App, the Company’s websites, services or other sources that would allow us to identify you personally. This Personal Data information may include Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”), which shall mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable person as referred to in this Privacy Policy is a person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to his or her physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social identity. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any personal data collected by Company other than Personal Data collected through the Mobile App.
We do not sell or rent your Personal Data with other people or non-affiliated companies. Any Personal Data we share with HqO or other service providers shall be shared for the limited purpose of providing you services you request.
1. Information We Collect:
When you download and use the Mobile App to interact with us through the Company Services, we collect Personal Data and other information from you, as further described below:
- Administering Your Mobile App Account: When you download our Mobile App and set up an account, HqO will collect certain Personal Data from you such as, your email address and password, in order to create and administer your account. Additionally, HqO will collect Personal Data you provide as a part of any support requests submitted via the “Help” sections of the Mobile App, including your name, email address, and the content of your request.
- Personal Data That You Provide: We, or service providers acting on our behalf, collect Personal Data from you when you voluntarily provide such information through the Mobile App, such as when you use one of the available features to, for example, submit a maintenance request or work order, chat with the concierge, use mobile access to enter an area, view transit information, book certain amenities with a third party provider, or register a visitor. Depending on the feature used, the Personal Data collected may include your name and contact information, or that of your visitors, as well as any other Personal Data you voluntarily provide. You may also receive requests to enable (i) location services so that we may collect your location information, (ii) access to the photos and videos stored on your device, and/or (iii) biometric authentication; enabling these features will result in you providing the relevant information, but you can manage your permissions for these features in your device settings. Note that certain Personal Data you provide through the Mobile App (e.g., payment information) is collected directly by service providers acting on our behalf (e.g., our payment processor, Stripe) and we do not have access to such information. Additionally, certain features of the Mobile App may direct you to other web sites, applications, or services not operated or controlled by us (the “Third Party Sites”); any Personal Data you provide while using such Third Party Sites is not subject to this Privacy Policy (please see below for more information about Third Party Sites).
- Information Automatically Collected via the Mobile App: When you interact with Company through the Mobile App, we, and HqO acting on our behalf, automatically receive and store certain information regarding your actions taken within the Mobile App. Such information, which is collected using first-party tracking technologies known as JSON Web Tokens (JWT), cannot presently be used to specifically identify you and includes, but is not limited to, pages of the Mobile App used, content with which you interact, and building events which you attended or in which you have expressed interest. This information may be pooled with other information to track, for example, the total number of users of our Mobile App and the number of users who visit and interact with each page of our Mobile App for the purposes of product development and improvement and to notify you about events and features that may be of interest to you. It is important to note that no Personal Data is available or used in this process.
- Aggregated Data: In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of the Company Services, Company often conducts research on its customer and user demographics, interests and behavior based on the Personal Data and other information provided to us. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and Company may share this aggregate data with its affiliates, agents and business partners, including HqO, to use and disclose for their own purposes, as permitted by applicable law. This aggregate information does not identify you personally, nor can it reasonably be associated with you.
We will not collect Personal Data indiscriminately, but will limit collection of Personal Data to that which is reasonable and necessary. We may also collect Personal Data as authorized or required by law. Your Personal Data will only be used or disclosed for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and as authorized or required by law.

5. Location of Service Providers; Storing your Personal Data
Your Personal Data collected via the Mobile App and through our Company Services will be stored on servers located in the United States, and our service providers may be located outside of the country in which you are located. This includes by individuals or service providers engaged in, among other things, administration of an enquiry or request you make via the Mobile App, or the provision of support services. You therefore acknowledge that your Personal Data may be processed and stored in foreign jurisdictions and that governments, courts, law enforcement or government or regulatory agencies in the US and elsewhere may be able to access or obtain disclosure of your Personal Data under a lawful order or otherwise through the laws of the foreign jurisdiction, irrespective of the safeguards we have put in place for the protection of your Personal Data.
6. Data Retention
We will retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.
To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Company does not knowingly collect Personal Data from minors. If you are a child, a person under the age of majority, please do not submit any Personal Data through the Mobile App. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children never to provide Personal Data on this Mobile App without their parents’ permission.

8. Links to Other Web Sites, Applications, or Services
This Privacy Policy applies solely to Personal Data collected via the Mobile App and the Company Services. This Mobile App, including certain features provided therein, may contain links to other web sites, applications, or services not operated or controlled by Company (the “Third Party Sites”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to the Third Party Sites. Instead, the data practices of those Third Party Sites are governed by their respective privacy policies, over which we have no control. The inclusion of features or links from the Mobile App do not imply that Company endorses or has reviewed the Third Party Sites or their privacy practices. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.
9. Security
Company takes reasonable steps to protect the Personal Data provided via the Mobile App and Company Services from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, and we will take reasonable measures, through contractual or other reasonable means, to ensure that our service providers implement a comparable level of protection.
We maintain commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that are designed to guard our customers’ Personal Data. For example, for the security of online visits to www.hudsonpacificproperties.com (or any of our property-related sites), we may make use of firewalls, encryption and other authentication procedures to attempt to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Personal Data is maintained within a server environment that is intended to be secure.

As a result, although we strive to protect your Personal Data, we cannot ensure, and do not guarantee or warrant the security of our servers nor can we guarantee that Personal Data you supply through the Company Site will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the Internet, and you acknowledge by your use of the Mobile App and Company Services that you do so at your own risk. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us via the Internet. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any Personal Data to Company.
Our internal data security policies restrict access to customers’ Personal Data to authorized employees, agents and subcontractors with a “need to know,” and we train those persons on the protection of Personal Data. These persons may use our customers Personal Data for Company’s business purposes only. Our employees are bound by our policies to maintain the confidentiality of our customers’ Personal Data, and are subject to disciplinary action for violating their confidentiality obligations.
If there is a breach of the confidentiality or security of your Personal Data, we may attempt to notify you as necessary by email or other means so you can take appropriate protective steps. By using the Mobile App or Company Services or providing Personal Data to us, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of the Mobile App or Company Services or your account with us. Unless you indicate otherwise, we may notify you using the most current email address you provided to us.

- This Privacy Policy Applies to U.S. Customers: This Privacy Policy applies to customer relationships established in the United States. The Mobile App is hosted in the United States and is intended for United States visitors. Parts of this Privacy Policy may not apply to visitors to the Mobile App outside the United States because, for example, certain services may not be offered to non-U.S. customers.

- Links to Third-Party Sites and Websites Containing Company Branding: The Mobile App may contain links to third-party websites. Please be aware, however, that Company is not responsible for and cannot control the privacy policies of these other websites or their practices. We encourage you to read the privacy policies for these other websites, as they may differ from ours. The Mobile App also may contain links to websites that display Company branding and/or Company’s logo but which are maintained by third parties. Such websites may be identified in that they do not display a “Hudsonpacificproperties.com” URL. Please read the privacy policy on these websites for applicable privacy practices relating to Personal Data collected via those websites because they may differ from Company’s privacy practices. This Privacy Policy applies solely to Personal Data collected by Company directly, by phone, online and through our customer support services.

If we cannot verify your identity, we will not provide or delete your PII.

If you do so, we may require the agent to present signed written permission to act on your behalf and you may also be required to independently verify your identity with us and confirm that you have provided the agent permission to submit the request.
- Severability: In the event that any provision of this Privacy Policy shall, in whole or in part, be determined to be invalid, unenforceable or void for any reason, such determination shall affect only the portion of such provision determined to be invalid, unenforceable or void, and shall not affect in any way the remainder of such provision or any other provision of the Policy. Company’s failure to act with respect to a breach by User or others does not waive its right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.
- What Else Should I Know About My Privacy? You should be careful to maintain the secrecy of your user ids and passwords and/or account information and be responsible about protecting your PII and identity, both online and off-line.
