1. INTRODUCTION
At Whoop, Inc., including its wholly-owned subsidiaries, (collectively “WHOOP,” “us,” “we,” or “our”), our mission is to unlock human performance and healthspan. We exist to improve your life, not invade it. This should be the standard for all companies providing wearable devices. We take your privacy seriously and want you to understand how we use, collect, and share Personal Data and the measures we take to protect your Personal Data. “Personal Data” means any information that identifies you or can be reasonably linked to you, or information which is otherwise considered to be “personal information” or “personal data” under applicable laws.

8. WHOOP COACH, MEMBERSHIP SERVICES AI & THIRD-PARTY AI TECHNOLOGY
WHOOP Coach
WHOOP Coach is a generative AI feature that is intended to help you set and make progress toward your goals, understand WHOOP concepts, provide educational guidance, and integrate with the rest of your WHOOP experience. WHOOP Coach creates a coaching experience by combining your WHOOP metrics, such as your strain, recovery, or sleep scores, with the science of WHOOP to help you optimize your health, fitness and performance.
Please note that WHOOP Coach leverages third-party AI technology provided by our LLM partner. Responses from WHOOP Coach are based on your prompts and relevant information collected through your WHOOP metrics. For example, if you ask WHOOP Coach a sleep-related question, then WHOOP Coach will provide personalized tips for improving your sleep based on your de-identified sleep data collected through the Services.
We require our LLM partner to use your WHOOP metrics strictly to allow WHOOP Coach to generate content for you. We have ensured that our LLM partner has a “Zero-Retention/Zero Training Policy” with respect to your WHOOP metrics, meaning that our LLM partner will not store or retain any of your Personal Data nor use any WHOOP metrics for training any algorithms or LLM technology.
We will only share de-identified WHOOP metrics with our LLM partner. Please do not provide any identifying information, such as your name, in conversations with WHOOP Coach.
WHOOP may retain the history of your conversations with WHOOP Coach to ensure you continue to have access to previous conversations while using the feature. When you revisit any topics from previous chats, WHOOP may share the context of your previous conversations with our LLM partner to create a better experience for you. You may delete your WHOOP Coach chat data at any time by either tapping the chat icon in WHOOP Coach to view your conversation history and swipe left on conversations you would like to delete or by submitting a request to Membership Services to delete your data.
Please note that, consistent with our Privacy Principles, WHOOP employees will only access your Personal Data when required to provide services and support. This may include collecting information about your experience with WHOOP Coach to assess the performance of and improve WHOOP Coach and other product offerings. In the case that WHOOP Coach suggests connecting to Membership Services, you can opt in to have your support request automatically filed with our team. In this case, our support team will only have access to that specific conversation to provide you with the best support.
Membership Services AI
WHOOP Membership Service includes a generative AI feature that is intended to assist you in receiving member support.
Membership Services uses third-party AI technology provided by our LLM partner. Responses from Membership Services are based on your prompts and relevant information collected through your WHOOP membership. For example, if you ask Membership Services a question regarding your order, Membership Services will draw on your purchase records.
We require our LLM partner to use your WHOOP metrics only for the purpose of allowing Membership Services AI to generate content for you. We have ensured that our LLM partner has a “Zero-Retention/Zero Training Policy” with respect to your WHOOP metrics, meaning that our LLM partner will not store or retain any of the WHOOP metrics they receive through your use of Membership Services, and our LLM partner will not use any of the WHOOP metrics they receive for training any algorithms or LLM technology.

15A. New Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework
The judgment in the Schrems II case issued by the European Court of Justice in 2020 found that Privacy Shield framework no longer provides adequate safeguards for the transfer of personal data to the United States from the EEA.
The US and the European Commission announced in 2022 an “agreement in principle” to develop a new Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (“Framework”). The Framework is intended to re-establish a legal mechanism for transfers of EU personal data to the U.S. after the Court of Justice of the European Union invalidated the EU-US Privacy Shield.
In the interim, to ensure that transfers of personal data from the EU to the US can occur in line with European data protection laws, Whoop will enter into the Standard Contractual Clauses with our vendors who process personal data, and with our customers upon request. These Standard Contractual Clauses legitimize the transfer of personal data from the EU to the US.
16. PRIVACY NOTICE FOR EUROPEAN RESIDENTS
If you are a resident of Europe, you may have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) and other European data protection and e-privacy laws. To the extent of any conflict between the provisions set out in this Section 16, and any other provision in this Privacy Policy, the former shall control to the extent of such conflict.

You may contact any one of the above representatives at: whoop@gdpr-rep.com
Legal Bases for Processing. The “How We Use Personal Data” section above explains how we use your Personal Data. We will only process your Personal Data if we have a lawful basis for doing so. Lawful bases for processing include consent, contractual necessity and our “legitimate interests” or the legitimate interest of others but will depend on the type of Personal Data and the specific context in which we process it. However, the legal bases we typically rely on for each category of processing activity are set out below.
- Service delivery: Processing is necessary to perform our contract, or to take steps that you request prior to engaging our Services. Where we cannot process your Personal Data as required to operate the Services on the grounds of contractual necessity, we process your personal information for this purpose based on our legitimate interest in providing you with the products or Services you access and request.
- Research and development: These activities constitute our legitimate interests.
- Marketing and advertising: Processing is based on your consent where that consent is required by applicable law. Where such consent is not required by applicable law, we process your personal information for these purposes based on our legitimate interests in promoting our business.
- Compliance and protection: From time to time, we may also need to process Personal Data to comply with a legal obligation, if it is necessary to protect the vital interests of you or other data subjects, or if it is necessary for a task carried out in the public interest.
- Consent: To the extent that wellness data that we collect is considered consumer health data or another special category of Personal Data subject to the GDPR, we will ask for your explicit consent to process this data. You can use your account settings and tools to withdraw your consent at any time, including by unpairing your WHOOP Strap, stopping use of a feature, removing our access to a Third-Party service, or deleting your data or your account. In addition, in some cases, such as when you direct us to share it, we process Personal Data based on the consent you expressly grant to us at the time we collect such data. When we process Personal Data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw it any time in the manner indicated at the time you give consent or in as listed in our Services.
We may use your Personal Data for reasons not described in this Privacy Policy where permitted by law and where the reason is compatible with the purpose for which we collected it. If we need to use your Personal Data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the applicable legal basis.
Retention. To determine the appropriate retention period for your Personal Data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, 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.
