PRIVACY POLICY

 

Last Updated: August 3, 2025

 

INTRODUCTION

 

This Privacy Policy Statement aims to clarify what personal data we process, why we process it, who receives your data and how you can exercise your legal rights.

 

In this Privacy Policy Statement, "personal data" means any data which directly or indirectly relates to you and identifies you as a person, and in a form in which access to or processing of the data is practicable (like the combination of your full name and address, or a user ID connected to your identity). Similarly, "processing" refers to any operation performed on your personal data, for example the collection, storage, use, disclosure, or destruction of your personal data.

 

WHO ARE WE AND HOW CAN YOU REACH US?

 

We are Heyooh Limited ("Heyooh," "we," "our," or "us") and we are located at Unit 2A, 17/F, Glenealy Tower, No.1 Glenealy, Central, Hong Kong.

 

With regard to your privacy, it is us who decide how and for what purposes your personal data is processed. In data protection language that makes us a so-called "_data user_" (the party responsible for how your personal data is processed).

 

If you have any questions related to how your personal data is processed and/or would like to reach out to our data protection officer, you can contact us at service@heyooh.co.
