Introduction
Welcome to Yolobe ("Yolobe", “YolBe”, "we", "us" or "our"). This policy describes the information we, Yolobe Inc., collect or process to provide to YolBe (our web and app platform).
Yolobe is a social software platform that connects users to resources to spur goal achievement, learning new things, and generally to provide more growth opportunities.
Yolobe is a conduit for communicating opportunities (events, meet-ups, interesting talks, jobs, etc.) to our users from people, organizations and employers in the community or at the school. Over time this will evolve into a broad ecosystem of resources, support, and interaction where Yolobe acts as a hub connecting our users to the best resources to make their lives better, our motto.
