Privacy Principles summarize WHOOP's approach; the full Privacy Policy holds the detail
This opening section presents WHOOP's Privacy Principles. WHOOP says it wants members to understand how it uses, collects and shares personal data and the measures it takes to protect it, and that it continually evaluates its privacy practices to align them with applicable privacy laws, naming the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For more detailed information about how personal data is used, collected and shared, the principles send readers to WHOOP's full Privacy Policy.
Supporting quotations
We continually evaluate our privacy practices to align them with applicable privacy laws including the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
You can find more detailed information about ways in which we use, collect, and share personal data in our full
Qualifications & exceptions
Saying practices are evaluated 'to align' with these laws is a statement of intent, not a statement of what a particular law requires in a particular case.
The principles section itself is a summary; the detail on collection, use and sharing lives in the full Privacy Policy.
Not stated here
The full Privacy Policy is a linked document and its text is not part of this analysis, so the detail it contains is unknown here.

WHOOP says it will delete your personal data, or give you access to it, if you ask
WHOOP states that it will delete your personal data if you ask, including if you ask when you cancel your membership, and that it will give you access to your personal data if you ask, again including when you cancel. A self-serve route is described: you can delete your WHOOP data at any time through self-serve options in the WHOOP app or in the data management section of whoop.com.
Supporting quotations
We will delete your personal data if you ask us to, including if asked when you cancel your membership.
We will provide you with access to your personal data if you ask us to, including if asked when you cancel your membership.
you can delete it at any time by exercising our self-serve options, either in the WHOOP app or navigating to the
Qualifications & exceptions
Both promises are triggered by the member asking; the principles say nothing here about WHOOP deleting data on its own initiative.
Deletion is described as reachable at any time through the app or the data management section of whoop.com.
Not stated here
These principles do not state a response time, any exceptions, or what happens to data WHOOP may be required to keep; other sections of this page describe how requests are made and some legal limits, but the principles do not restate them.
Cross-references
contrast (model-proposed): California residents have CCPA rights to know, access, delete and stop sale, with CCPA limits — contrast: The Privacy Principles say WHOOP will delete personal data if asked, without stating exceptions, while the CCPA section says the CCPA limits the circumstances in which businesses must comply with a deletion request. The page does not say whether WHOOP applies those limits to its deletion promise.
contrast (model-proposed): WHOOP keeps messaging information while you participate, as law requires, and as needed for disputes — contrast: The Privacy Principles say WHOOP will delete personal data if asked, while the Messaging Privacy Policy says WHOOP will retain and use information as necessary to resolve disputes, protect itself and its customers, and enforce its agreements. The page does not say whether a deletion request overrides that retention for messaging information.
Sharing & Disclosure · Company commitment
Beyond what the Privacy Policy describes, WHOOP says it shares your data only if you ask
WHOOP says its Privacy Policy describes how it shares personal data and that it will otherwise share your personal data with others only if you ask it to. The example given is sharing with an organization that manages a corporate wellness program, which WHOOP would do if you specifically authorized it.
Supporting quotations
Our Privacy Policy describes how we share personal data. We will otherwise share your personal data with others only if you ask us to. For example, we would share it with an organization managing a corporate wellness program if you specifically authorized us to do so.
Qualifications & exceptions
The commitment is framed around sharing 'otherwise' than as the Privacy Policy describes, so it depends on what that policy allows.
The corporate wellness example requires your specific authorization.
Not stated here
What sharing the full Privacy Policy permits is not in this analysis, so the size of the 'otherwise' category cannot be judged here.

WHOOP staff may access your personal data only with a legitimate business need
WHOOP says it is its policy that a member's personal data is not to be accessed or shared by anyone at WHOOP without an explicit need. It lists membership services representatives, management team members, data scientists and technical team members as people who are not permitted to access your personal data without a legitimate business need.
Supporting quotations
Our policy is that a member’s personal data is not to be accessed or shared by anyone at WHOOP without an explicit need to do so.
WHOOP membership services representatives, management team members, data scientists and technical team members are not permitted to access your personal data without a legitimate business need.
Qualifications & exceptions
The restriction turns on 'a legitimate business need' (and 'an explicit need' in the general statement); the passage does not define those terms or list the permitted needs.
Not stated here
Who decides what counts as a legitimate business need, and any independent checking of that decision, is not described in this section.

WHOOP says it never sells member data, while confirming third-party cookies and tracking
Under the heading that WHOOP does not sell member personal data, WHOOP says it never sells its members' personal data and calls this its promise. In the same passage it says that, because the CCPA defines 'sale' so broadly, it wants to be clear that it uses third-party cookies and other tracking technologies. The CCPA section later on the page repeats that WHOOP does not sell personal information and adds that WHOOP's services provide, and its partners use, automated technologies such as cookies to understand how people use its products and services and to support advertising.
Supporting quotations
WHOOP DOES NOT SELL MEMBER PERSONAL DATA
we never sell our members’ personal data. This is our promise.
Because of how broadly the CCPA defines “sale,” we want to be clear that we use third party cookies and other tracking technologies.
We do not sell personal information.
Our Services provide and our partners use automated technologies, such as cookies, to understand how people use our products and Services and to support advertising.
Qualifications & exceptions
The no-sale promise is made about members' personal data; WHOOP separately acknowledges third-party cookies and tracking technologies and, in the CCPA section, advertising support.
Not stated here
The passage does not say whether WHOOP treats any cookie-based or advertising data flow as a 'sale' under the CCPA, so the practical effect of the promise on those flows is not stated here.
How to limit these technologies is left to the full Privacy Policy, which is not part of this analysis.
Data Access & Collection · Company practice
WHOOP collects physiological 'wellness data' from the strap, plus anything you enter
WHOOP describes the data its strap collects from members as including heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep duration, respiratory rate, skin temperature, blood oxygen saturation level, the type of activity engaged in and its duration, and any additional information members choose to enter when using WHOOP services. Together this is called 'wellness data'.
Supporting quotations
This information includes heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep duration, respiratory rate, skin temperature, blood oxygen saturation level, data such as the type of activity engaged in and the duration of physical activity, and any additional information members chose to enter when using WHOOP services (collectively, “wellness data”).
Qualifications & exceptions
'Wellness data' is the term WHOOP uses in the Privacy Principles; the Definitions section later on the page gives a similar but longer definition that also covers data linked from other accounts and devices.
Use & Processing · Company practice
WHOOP uses aggregated or de-identified wellness data for research, features and insights
Under a heading saying WHOOP uses only aggregated or de-identified wellness data to better understand human performance, WHOOP says it uses aggregated or de-identified wellness data that no longer identifies a particular individual, and which it therefore treats as no longer personal data, to help answer questions about human performance. It says it will look to provide new content and product features, improve and customize its services (including determining and reporting on trends, sleep, strain and recovery), and develop thought leadership on human performance.
Supporting quotations
WHOOP USES ONLY AGGREGATED OR DE-IDENTIFIED WELLNESS DATA TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HUMAN PERFORMANCE
We use aggregated or de-identified wellness data that no longer identifies a particular individual (and is thus no longer personal data) to help answer important questions about human performance
We will always look to provide new content and product features, improve and customize our services (including determining and reporting on trends, sleep, strain, and recovery), and develop thought leadership in the area of human performance.
Qualifications & exceptions
The 'only aggregated or de-identified' wording appears in the heading and relates to the human-performance research purpose described; the passage does not say that WHOOP uses no identifiable data to run the service itself.
WHOOP's statement that such data is 'no longer personal data' is its own characterization.
Not stated here
The methods used to aggregate or de-identify the data, and any safeguards against re-identification, are not described in this section.

WHOOP says it will never voluntarily disclose member data to authorities or litigants
WHOOP notes that it may receive requests for member data from governmental entities, including law enforcement, and from private parties engaged in civil litigation. It says it will never voluntarily disclose member data in response to such a request by a governmental entity or civil litigant, and will never give any governmental entity or civil litigant direct access to its members' data.
Supporting quotations
Like all other companies, WHOOP may from time to time receive requests for member data from third parties, like governmental entities (including law enforcement) and private parties engaged in civil litigation.
WHOOP will never voluntarily disclose member data in response to a request by a governmental entity or civil litigant.
WHOOP will never provide any governmental entity or civil litigant with direct access to our members data.
Qualifications & exceptions
The commitments are about responding to requests from governmental entities and civil litigants; they sit alongside the stricter-conditions commitment on copies in the next card.
Not stated here
Other sections of this page (the Messaging Privacy Policy and the Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice) describe disclosures to authorities on a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary or appropriate; these principles do not address how those statements fit together.
Cross-references
contrast (model-proposed): WHOOP may disclose messaging information to comply with law, answer authorities or protect rights — contrast: The Privacy Principles say WHOOP will never voluntarily disclose member data in response to a governmental or litigant request, while the Messaging Privacy Policy says WHOOP may disclose information to respond to requests from public and government authorities when it believes disclosure is necessary or appropriate. The page does not say how the two fit together; they cover different data (member data generally versus Messaging Service information).
contrast (model-proposed): WHOOP may share consumer health data with authorities or other third parties on a good-faith belief it is necessary — contrast: The Privacy Principles say WHOOP will never voluntarily disclose member data in response to a governmental or litigant request, while the Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice says WHOOP may share consumer health data with law enforcement and government agencies where it believes in good faith that this is necessary or appropriate. The page does not reconcile the two; the Notice's priority clause names only the Privacy Policy.

Copies of member data go to authorities or litigants only on a valid, binding, narrow request
WHOOP says it will never provide copies of member data to any governmental entity or civil litigant without a valid, narrowly tailored and legally binding request, with a subpoena, warrant or court order given as examples. It says it is prepared to fight to protect its members' privacy in court if necessary, and will reject, challenge or object to any data access request from a governmental entity or civil litigant that it believes is invalid, overly broad, unclear or otherwise inappropriate.
Supporting quotations
WHOOP will never provide copies of member data held by WHOOP to any governmental entity or civil litigant without a valid, narrowly tailored, and legally-binding request (e.g., subpoena, warrant or court order).
WHOOP is prepared to fight to protect our members privacy in court if necessary. We will reject, challenge or object to any data access request from a governmental entity or civil litigant that we believe is invalid, overly broad, unclear or otherwise inappropriate.
Qualifications & exceptions
Subpoena, warrant and court order are listed as examples ('e.g.'), not as an exhaustive list of qualifying requests.
The commitment to challenge applies to requests WHOOP itself believes are invalid, overly broad, unclear or otherwise inappropriate.
Not stated here
The passage does not say what WHOOP does with a request it considers valid beyond not providing copies without one.

WHOOP says it will email you if it receives a request for your data
WHOOP says that if it receives a request for a member's data, it will notify the member by sending an email to the email address it has on file for that member.
Supporting quotations
If WHOOP receives a request for a members data, we will provide notice to the member by sending an email to the email address we have on file for that member.
Qualifications & exceptions
Notice goes to the email address WHOOP has on file, so an out-of-date address would affect whether the member sees it.

The CCPA definition names California rights and quotes the law's broad meaning of 'sale'
WHOOP describes the California Consumer Privacy Act as a state law giving California consumers data privacy rights, including the right to know, the right to delete, and the right to opt out of 'sale' of personal information, as well as additional protections for minors. It quotes the CCPA's definition of a 'sale' as selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring or otherwise communicating a consumer's personal information by the business to another business or a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.
Supporting quotations
The California Consumer Privacy Act, or CCPA, is a state law that provides California consumers with robust data privacy rights. These rights include the right to know, the right to delete, and the right to opt-out of “sale” of personal information that businesses collect, as well as additional protections for minors.
A “sale” under the CCPA is defined as “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by the business to another business or to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.”
Qualifications & exceptions
The quoted definition of 'sale' reaches transfers for 'monetary or other valuable consideration', not only payments of money.
WHOOP points to its Privacy Policy for more details on the information it may share with others.

WHOOP accepts vulnerability reports and sends back a tracking identifier
WHOOP says it openly accepts vulnerability reports for its WHOOP platform and products. If you believe you have found a vulnerability, or have a security incident to report, you are asked to contact WHOOP through its vulnerability disclosure form, and on receipt WHOOP says it will reply with a tracking identifier. The link at the end of the section, labelled Submit, points to a HackerOne page named whoop_bug_bounty.

WHOOP's disclosure policy uses a 90-day deadline that can move for weekends, pending patches or extreme circumstances
WHOOP says vulnerability disclosure is a two-way street and that it adheres to a 90-day disclosure deadline. It says it notifies vendors of vulnerabilities immediately, with details shared publicly with the defensive community after the Deadline, or sooner if the vendor releases a fix. The Deadline can vary: if it would expire on a weekend or U.S. public holiday it moves to the next regular work day; if a vendor says before the Deadline expires that a patch is scheduled within 14 days after the Deadline, WHOOP will delay public disclosure until the patch is available; and WHOOP reserves the right to bring the Deadline forward or backward based on extreme circumstances. It says it treats all vendors strictly equally and expects to be held to the same standard.
Supporting quotations
WHOOP adheres to a 90-day disclosure deadline (the “Deadline”). We notify vendors of vulnerabilities immediately, with details shared in public with the defensive community after the Deadline, or sooner if the vendor releases a fix. That Deadline can vary in the following ways:
If a Deadline is due to expire on a weekend or U.S. public holiday, the Deadline will be moved to the next regular work day.
Before the Deadline has expired, if a vendor lets us know that a patch is scheduled for release on a specific day that will fall within 14 days following the Deadline, we will delay the public disclosure until the availability of the patch.
As always, we reserve the right to bring the Deadline forward or backward based on extreme circumstances. We remain committed to treating all vendors strictly equally. WHOOP expects to be held to the same standard.
Qualifications & exceptions
The 14-day patch extension depends on the vendor telling WHOOP before the Deadline expires that a patch is scheduled for a specific day.
The reservation to move the Deadline is for 'extreme circumstances'.
Actively exploited, previously unknown vulnerabilities follow a shorter timeline (see the 7-day card).
Not stated here
The text is written about WHOOP notifying vendors of vulnerabilities and sharing details publicly; it does not spell out whether, and how, the same deadline applies to vulnerabilities reported to WHOOP about its own products.
Security & Safeguards · Company practice
For actively exploited unknown vulnerabilities, WHOOP uses a 7-day timeline before supporting disclosure
When WHOOP observes a previously unknown and unpatched vulnerability in software that is under active exploitation (a '0day'), it says more urgent action, within 7 days, is appropriate. It gives the reason that each day an actively exploited vulnerability stays undisclosed and unpatched, more devices or accounts are compromised. After 7 days without a patch or advisory, WHOOP says it will support researchers making details available so users can take steps to protect themselves. WHOOP acknowledges that seven days is aggressive and may be too short for some vendors to update their products.
Supporting quotations
When we observe a previously unknown and unpatched vulnerability in software under active exploitation (a “0day”), we believe that more urgent action - within 7 days - is appropriate.
after 7 days have elapsed without a patch or advisory, we will support researchers making details available so that users can take steps to protect themselves.
Qualifications & exceptions
The 7-day timeline applies to previously unknown, unpatched vulnerabilities in software under active exploitation that WHOOP observes.
WHOOP says the time should be enough to publish advice on mitigations such as temporarily disabling a service, restricting access or contacting the vendor.
Not stated here
The text does not say whether the 7-day path is used for vulnerabilities in WHOOP's own products.

California residents have CCPA rights to know, access, delete and stop sale, with CCPA limits
WHOOP says the CCPA gives residents of California four rights: to know how personal information is collected and used, to have access to and request the personal information collected, to have personal data deleted, and to stop personal information from being sold or shared. It adds that the CCPA limits these rights, for example by prohibiting businesses from providing certain sensitive information in response to an access request and by limiting the circumstances in which they must comply with a deletion request.
Supporting quotations
The CCPA also provides the following rights if you are a resident of the state of California: (1) the right to know how your personal information is collected and used; (2) the right to have access to and request the personal information collected; (3) the right to have your personal data deleted; and (4) 4he right to stop your personal information from being sold or shared.
The CCPA limits these rights by, for example, prohibiting businesses from providing certain sensitive information in response to an access request and limiting the circumstances in which they must comply with a deletion request.
A “sale” under the CCPA is defined as “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by the business to another business or to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.”
Qualifications & exceptions
The rights are stated for residents of California; the sentence describes what the CCPA provides rather than a separate WHOOP promise.
Access can be limited for certain sensitive information, and deletion requests need to be honored only in limited circumstances.
Not stated here
The section does not say which categories of sensitive information are withheld or which circumstances excuse a deletion request.
The Privacy Principles earlier on the page say WHOOP will delete personal data if asked without stating these limits.

The Minimum Advertised Price Policy is WHOOP's rule for US Resellers, not for customers
WHOOP says it has unilaterally established this Minimum Advertised Price Policy (MAP Policy) for certain WHOOP Products sold by Resellers in the United States. 'Resellers' means WHOOP's network of resellers, distributors, sales representatives or dealers. WHOOP says its purposes include protecting Resellers' investments in the customer experience and discouraging price-based advertising that would be detrimental to Resellers' service and support efforts.
Supporting quotations
WHOOP also recognizes that our success is tied to the success of our network of resellers, distributors, sales representatives or dealers (collectively, “Resellers”).
Therefore, WHOOP has unilaterally established this Minimum Advertised Price Policy (“MAP Policy”) for certain WHOOP Products sold by Resellers in the United States.
We want to protect our Resellers investments in delivering an extraordinary customer experience, while also discouraging price-based advertising that would be detrimental to our Resellers’ service and support efforts.
Qualifications & exceptions
The policy applies to certain WHOOP Products, as listed in Schedule A, sold by Resellers in the United States.
The policy is addressed to Resellers; it is not a term of a customer's purchase from WHOOP.
Not stated here
The policy does not say whether it applies outside the United States or to products not listed in Schedule A.
Charges & Financial Obligations · Restriction or exception
Resellers may not advertise below the Schedule A price, which WHOOP can change at its sole discretion
The Minimum Advertised Price for each WHOOP Product must be no less than the price set in Schedule A, and WHOOP may adjust it at such time and in such amounts as it determines in its sole discretion. The policy sets no maximum advertised price: Resellers may offer WHOOP Products at any price above the Minimum Advertised Price.
Supporting quotations
The Minimum Advertised Price for each WHOOP Product shall be no less than the minimum advertised price as set forth on Schedule A (the “Minimum Advertised Price”). This Minimum Advertised Price established by WHOOP may be adjusted by WHOOP at such time and in such amounts as it may determine at its sole discretion.
This MAP Policy does not establish maximum advertised prices. Resellers may offer WHOOP Products at any price in excess of the Minimum Advertised Price.
Qualifications & exceptions
This is a limit on advertised price, as the policy states; it does not set what a Reseller may charge above that price.
Charges & Financial Obligations · Restriction or exception
Resellers need WHOOP's written consent to list products on third-party sites such as Amazon or eBay
A Reseller must not list WHOOP Products on any third-party website, including Amazon, eBay and Overstock, without first obtaining written consent from WHOOP. A Reseller may sell WHOOP Products on its own website associated directly with its store or stores, as long as it follows the MAP Policy.
Supporting quotations
A Reseller shall not list WHOOP Products on any third-party website (including without limitation Amazon, eBay, Overstock, etc.), without first obtaining written consent from WHOOP. A Reseller may sell WHOOP Products on its own website associated directly with its store(s) so long as the Reseller adheres to this MAP Policy.
Qualifications & exceptions
The named sites are examples ('including without limitation').
Selling on a Reseller's own store-linked website is allowed only if the Reseller adheres to the MAP Policy.
Charges & Financial Obligations · Restriction or exception
The policy covers advertising in almost any medium, except in-store advertising shown only in the store
The MAP Policy applies to all advertisements of WHOOP Products in any and all media, including email newsletters and solicitations, internet or other electronic media, television, radio, public signage, posters, flyers, coupons, mailers, inserts, newspapers, magazines, catalogs and mail order catalogs. It does not apply to in-store advertising that is displayed only in the store and not distributed to customers.

No strike-through prices, and no free or discounted add-ons that effectively cut the advertised price below the minimum
If pricing is displayed anywhere other than a brick-and-mortar retail store, any strike-through or other alteration of the Minimum Advertised Price is prohibited. Including free or discounted products in advertising with a covered WHOOP Product is contrary to the policy if it has the effect of discounting the advertised price of the covered product below the Minimum Advertised Price. A Reseller may still advertise in general that it has 'the lowest prices' or will 'match or beat a competitors' price' or similar phrases, as long as the price advertised or listed is not below the Minimum Advertised Price and the Reseller otherwise complies.
Supporting quotations
If pricing is displayed anywhere other than a brick-and-mortar-retail store, any strike-through or other alteration of the Minimum Advertised Price is prohibited.
Including free or discounted products in advertising with any WHOOP Product covered by this MAP Policy is contrary to this MAP Policy if it has the effect of discounting the advertised price of the covered WHOOP Product below the Minimum Advertised Price.
The MAP policy does not limit a Reseller’s ability to advertise in general that they have “the lowest prices” or will “match or beat a competitors’ price” or phrases of similar meaning as long as the price advertised or listed for the WHOOP Product is not less than the Minimum Advertised Price and the Reseller otherwise complies with this MAP Policy.
Qualifications & exceptions
The strike-through prohibition applies when pricing is shown anywhere other than a brick-and-mortar retail store.
The free-or-discounted-product rule depends on the effect of lowering the advertised price of the covered product below the minimum.

Elsewhere in this Notice, a conflict between the WHOOP Privacy Policy and this Consumer Health Data Notice is resolved in favor of this Notice.
