FAQ
Resources
Logins are encrypted in strictly separated vaults with the security chips of the respective user devices. Encrypted vaults are automatically synchronized. The heylogin cloud serves as a simple data storage and has no means of decrypting the vaults. Only when an a security chip is unlocked, a temporary key is generated and transmitted over an end-to-end encrypted channel to the respective browser. This temporary key is used by the browser extension to decrypt passwords and other sensitive data to be used for logging end-users into websites.
What if heylogin's cloud servers are compromised?
Even if an attacker gains access to our cloud servers, your login data remains secure. heylogin is built with end-to-end encryption, meaning your usernames and passwords are never stored or processed in plaintext on our servers - they're only ever decryptable on your personal devices.
The decryption keys are securely stored in the hardware security modules of your devices (e.g. Secure Enclave or TPM). To access your data, an attacker would need physical access to your device and your second factor (like biometrics or PIN). Compromising the cloud alone is not enough.
Can you, as the provider of heylogin, access my passwords?
No, since all passwords and other sensitive data is encrypted with the security chips of the respective devices of our end-users. By design, we cannot access passwords.
Is heylogin GDPR compliant, and how is my personal data processed?
Yes, heylogin is fully GDPR compliant. We follow a strict privacy-first approach:
Login data stays on your devices: Usernames, URLs, and passwords are never processed on our servers. They are stored only on your devices and synchronized using end-to-end encryption. That means even we can't see your login data - and neither can any third party.
Minimal data collection for support: We collect device metadata only when necessary for troubleshooting and support.
All processing is done in line with the GDPR. You can find the full details in our Data Processing Agreement (DPA).
Are you using any non-European subprocessors?
No. We only work with European subprocessors, in line with our strict privacy standards and full GDPR compliance.
Where are the servers located?
The heylogin production environment is located in Nürnberg, the standby server in Falkenstein. Backups are stored separately in Frankfurt (all mentioned cities are located in Germany). All data centers are ISO 27001 certified.
How can I sign heylogin’s Data Processing Agreement (DPA)?
This Data Processing Agreement automatically enters into force on the day the main agreement is signed and remains in force until the main agreement is terminated.
If desired, it can also be signed by both parties. A request for this can be made via our partner Yousign. This enables the contractor (heylogin GmbH) and client (you) to digitally sign the DPA in a legally valid manner: Submit request via Yousign

What Recovery Time Objective (RTO), Recovery Time Actual (RTA), Recovery Point Objective (RPO) does heylogin GmbH provide?
The defined Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of the heylogin service is 8 hours. The measured Recovery Time Actual (RTA) is less than 2 hours. The architecture of heylogin allows us to start a replacement instance of our productive environment within a short time. If the data center used by our hosting provider is no longer available, there is a standby server that can be converted into a functioning productive environment within a restart time of no more than 30 minutes. No data loss occurs in this case.
The defined Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is 60 minutes. Encrypted backups of the server-side database are automatically created every hour. The backups are stored for 90 days. This database continues to be actively replicated to the previously mentioned standby server in another data center. With this backup, we protect ourselves against a complete failure of our hosting provider. Within a recovery time of maximum 60 minutes we can start up a new productive environment at an alternative hosting provider. In this case, the heylogin client applications will synchronize login data that is still locally available with the server to reduce the probability of data loss even more.
What happens to my logins if heylogin shuts down?
In the event that heylogin GmbH has to cease operations, we have put clear measures in place: The service will continue to run for at least three months to ensure an orderly transition.
All customers will be informed transparently and in a timely manner. The export function for your logins is already available at any time - and in such a scenario, we'll actively guide you through the process and offer support if needed. This way, we ensure that your digital access remains fully intact, even in exceptional circumstances.
