Privacy Policy

HEY YOU, WHAT'S UP Users can send a photo or text to friends.

This privacy policy describes how we (HEY YOU, WHAT'S UP, Inc. and our subsidiaries) collect, use, and share your information whenever you use our Servi

ces. Those Services include every way you might interact with us: through our websites, mobile applications, and any of our other online products and services that link to this privacy policy.

We may change this privacy policy from time to time. Sometimes, we’ll let you know by revising the date at the top of the privacy policy that’s available on our website. Other times, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our websites’ homepages or sending you a notification).

Information We Collect

What You Directly Provide Us

For you to create a basic HEY YOU, WHAT'S UP account, we need to collect a few important details about you: a unique username you’d like to go by, a password, an email address we can contact you at.

What You Automatically Provide Us When You Use Our Services

Because HEY YOU, WHAT'S UP is about sharing moments with people, there is some information we collect automatically when you access our Services, which we use to facilitate the broad range of communications offered through our Services, to provide you cool features and functionality, and to enable all the other purposes described in this privacy policy. We explain all this below:

Information We Collect From Other Sources

If another user allows us to collect information from his or her device phonebook—and you’re one of that user’s contacts—we may combine the information we collect from that user’s phonebook with other information we have collected about you. We may also obtain information from other sources and combine that with the information we collect through HEY YOU, WHAT'S UP.

Information We Collect When You Contact Us

How We Use Information

What do we do with the information we collect? The short answer is: Provide you with an amazing set of Services that we relentlessly improve. But we do a lot more as well, such as:

Where Information Is Processed

HEY YOU, WHAT'S UP is based in the European Union. Although we welcome HEY YOU, WHAT'S UP users from all over the world, keep in mind that no matter where you live or where you happen to use our Services, you consent to the processing and transfer of information in and to the UE and other countries. We want you to know this because the laws of the EU and those of other countries where your information is processed might not be as comprehensive or protective as laws in the country where you live. And while you’re in another country, know that your information may be made available to government or law enforcement requests.

How We Share Information

Here’s the type of information we may share about you with others and how we do so:

We may also share aggregated or de-identified information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you. Here’s just one example of how this could work: Because it’s not always clear whether a new friend request comes from someone you actually know, we may share whether you and the requestor have HEY YOU, WHAT'S UP friends in common without disclosing the usernames of those common friends.

The Services may also contain third-party links or be a co-branded or third-party-branded Service that’s being provided jointly with or by another company. By going to those links or by using a co-branded or third-party-branded Service, you may be providing personal information directly to the third party, us or both. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for how those third parties collect or use your information. As always, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of every third-party website or service that you visit or use, including those third parties you interact with through our Services.

Message Deletion

All messages received are stored on your phone only, You can delete them any time you want or never.

 Analytics and Advertising Services Provided by Others

We may let other companies use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies on HEY YOU, WHAT'S UP. These companies may collect information about how you use the Services and other websites and online services over time and across different services. The information collected may include unique device identifiers, device manufacturer and operating system, IP address, browser type, pages viewed, session start/stop time, links clicked, and conversion information. This information may be used to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, and better understand your online activity.

Additionally, some companies may use the information they collect on our blog and other websites to deliver targeted advertisements on behalf of us or other companies, including on third-party websites and apps. HEY YOU, WHAT'S UP does not currently respond to do-not-track signals that may be sent from your device. If we do so in the future, we will provide information about that practice in an updated version of this privacy policy.

Children

We don’t direct our Services to anyone under 13. And that’s why we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13.
