Data Processing Addendum
Heylo is operated by Piccup, Inc., a United States corporation ("Heylo," "we," "us"). This Data Processing Addendum forms part of the Heylo Terms of Service and applies whenever Heylo processes personal data on behalf of a leader or enterprise customer ("Customer") in connection with the Service.
Parties and roles
Heylo operates a dual-role model. The specific role depends on the category of data:

Account authentication data (phone number, authentication credentials), member email addresses, platform analytics and device data, billing and payment data, private direct messages between users, public group chat messages, event registrations and RSVPs, member management data (names visible to leaders, join date, last active date), crash and error logs, and data Heylo uses to operate, secure, and improve the Service. Heylo determines the purposes and means of Processing this data independently.
- Heylo as Processor (Customer as Controller). Data that leaders choose to collect from members through Heylo's features. Leaders are responsible for the data they collect and must comply with applicable privacy laws. Heylo Processes this data solely on Customer's documented instructions.
This addendum governs Heylo's Processing as a Processor on behalf of Customer. Heylo's Processing as an independent Controller is governed by the Privacy Policy at heylo.com/privacy.
