Last Updated: February 4, 2026

Welcome to HailO. We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how HailO ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our mobile application and services, specifically within the Mumbai, India market.

1Information We Collect

A. Information from Third-Party Services (Uber)

HailO is designed to integrate with Uber. When you connect your Uber account via OAuth, we collect:

  • Profile Information: Your name, email address, and profile picture.
  • Trip History: Past trip details, including timestamps, routes, and fares paid, to power your personalized analytics.
  • Real-time Estimates: Price and time estimates for requested routes to feed the HailO Brain.

B. Device and Usage Data

  • Location Data: We collect precise or approximate location data from your mobile device to provide accurate surge predictions and local ride estimates.
  • Usage Information: We collect data about how you interact with our services (e.g., searches, Surge Radar™ views).

2How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data to provide, maintain, and improve our services, including:

  • The HailO Brain: Processing trip data through our AI models (including Gemini 2.5 Flash) to provide "Optimal Booking Windows."
  • Surge Radar™: Generating visual price volatility graphs.
  • Personal Analytics: Calculating your potential savings and historical surge expenditure.
  • Communications: Sending you beta updates and service-related alerts.

3Data Sharing and Processing

  • AI Processing: We may share anonymized or pseudonymized data with third-party AI service providers (such as Google Vertex AI) to generate insights. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
  • Service Providers: We use trusted third-party hosting (GCP/AWS) to store data securely.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by Indian law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.

4Data Security

We utilize industry-standard security measures, including OAuth 2.0 for authentication, meaning we never see or store your Uber password. All data in transit is encrypted using SSL/TLS.
