Lalo is a new application that functions as a digital scrapbook, allowing customers to memorialize loved ones, create "spaces" to share memories, and invite friends and family to collaborate. The Lalo app was founded by Juan Medina; the Lalo app is named after his father’s nickname. Consumers can upload images, videos, voice recordings, and texts for free, but Lalo plans to implement a paywall for access to more storage space.
Creating a "space" allows you to store memories and invite as many people as possible. Lalo says that it will adhere to "privacy laws and data requirements from the beginning, rather than as a regulatory afterthought." Lalo users can request that their data be deleted, and Lalo advises that the data will not be shared outside the app.
