      HeiaHeia Privacy Policy and Terms of Service

      Learn how to manage your privacy in HeiaHeia.

      Mutual support and encouragement can be a tremendous exercise and activity motivator. In case you’re not comfortable with sharing personal information with others, HeiaHeia can be used as a personal training diary.

       

      Summary:

      • HeiaHeia does not automatically share activity logs with other users.
      • Your training log will only appear in the HeiaHeia feed of your HeiaHeia friends. This applies to work communities as well: Only colleagues who have added one another as friends on HeiaHeia will be able to see one another’s training logs in their personal feeds.
      • HeiaHeia users own their personal information and decide who they share it with.
      • Users can adjust their privacy on two levels: the privacy settings and through friends added.
      • You control who sees your profile and training log through the Privacy settings
      • Adding and having HeiaHeia friends is the determining factor: only your friends automatically see your activities in their feed. 
      • You can participate in a HeiaHeia workplace wellness program without sharing your activities. The workplace admin has access to activity summary reports but not the individual logins of individual users.

       

       

      You can manage your privacy in two ways: with friendships and with privacy settings. 

       

      1. Friendships

      The automatic sharing is determined by friendships. The friends you have accepted as your friends in HeiaHeia will see your activities in their own social HeiaHeia news feed (s. pic 1).  You can also set a certain activity as private if you wish, so that no one else can see it. These activities are mark with a little lock (s. pic 1 and 2). 

      2. Privacy settings

      The privacy settings determine who can view the information under your user profile (e.g. your training logs and profile), see picture 3.

      What are the differences between privacy levels in your profile? 

      1. HeiaHeia users: Your profile and training log is visible to all HeiaHeia users.
      2. HeiaHeia friends and colleagues: Only your HeiaHeia friends and those in your HeiaHeia community can see your profile and training log. Other HeiaHeia users will only see your name and picture.
      3. HeiaHeia friends: Only people you have added as HeiaHeia friends can see your profile and training log. Other HeiaHeia users will only see your name and picture.
