Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 13, 2023

This Privacy Policy covers the practices of Yobi Ventures, LLC (“Yobi,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) concerning personal information that we collect through the public-facing pages of yobi.ventures (the “Site”).

This Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information collected from those who access the non-public facing portions of our Site via a login or from whom we collect information in other ways, such as information collected under contractual arrangements with our customers, suppliers or those who provide services directly or indirectly in support of our platforms and products.  We address that data through other notices where required.  

This Privacy Policy contains the following sections:

  1. Information We Collect
  2. Use of Information
  3. Sharing of Information
  4. Protection of Information
  5. Your Rights and Choices
  6. Additional Detail for California Residents
  7. Updates and Changes to This Policy
  8. Contact Information

Sections 1 and 2 also constitute our “Notice at Collection” under the California Consumer Privacy Act.

1. Information We Collection

a. Information You Provide to Us:

You may provide the following types of personal information to us through our “Contact Us” form:

  • Contact details, such as name, email address, phone number and address
  • Professional and employment related data, such as your employer and job title
  • Your questions and information about your interest in Yobi or our partners

b. Cookies and Other Information Collection Technology:

Through the Site, we and third parties may collect information from your computer or other device by automated means such as cookies, web beacons, local storage, JavaScript, mobile-device functionality and other computer code. This information may include unique browser identifiers, IP address, browser and operating system information, device identifiers (such as advertising identifiers), other device information, Internet connection information, as well as details about your interactions with the relevant website, email or other online property (for example, the URL of the third-party website from which you came, the pages on our website that you visit, and the links you click on in a website).  In some cases (such as cookies), the tools described here involve storing unique identifiers or other information on your device for later use.

The Site may include Social Plugins (“buttons”) for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other similar third party services (“Social Media Service”). These buttons work by using pieces of code coming from the Social Media Service.  This code allows you to connect to the Social Media Service, and allows the Social Media Service to collect information about your activity while you are on our website, including your Internet Protocol address, the pages you visit, the device and browser you are using, and more. You can review the privacy policies of Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to learn more about the data they collect, and how to manage or control that collection in your account settings.

c. Information From Third Parties

We may also receive personal information from third parties, including our customers, service providers, business partners and business information vendors, as well as from publicly available sources. We also may infer personal information about you based on your interactions with us and the data we collect from you.

d. Children and Individuals Under the Age of Eighteen

The Site is not meant for individuals under the age of eighteen. Yobi will never knowingly request personal information from any child. If you are under eighteen years old, please do not provide your information on the Site. Upon notification that a child has directly provided us with personally identifiable information, we will delete the child’s personally identifiable information from our records. If you believe we might have any information that we have collected directly from a child, please contact us at info@yobi.ventures.

2. Use of Information

We use the information described above for the following purposes:

  • Manage and improve our operations and products;
  • Conduct business operations in support of our core activities, such as security, fraud prevention, analytics, and research and development;
  • Contact you regarding Yobi and business or related opportunities, and other subjects that we think may be of interest to you;
  • Communicate with you and to provide you with the information that you have requested from us, and for relationship management and marketing purposes;
  • Customize content, preferences, and advertising on our websites, across the Internet and elsewhere;
  • Create aggregated or de-identified information, which we may use and disclose without restriction;
  • Comply with laws, regulations, and other legal process and procedures; and
  • Establish, exercise, or defend our legal rights.

3. Sharing of Information

We may share your information as follows:

  • With Service Providers: We may share your information with companies that provide services to us, such as providers of data storage, marketing, web hosting, security, analytics, and fraud prevention. We share your contact information with our service providers who manage our website and distribute our newsletters and communications.
  • With Business Partners: We may share information with our customers, suppliers or other business partners in connection with our own internal operations and the marketing of our services.
  • Legal: We may share information when we believe disclosure is appropriate due to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or other request from a law enforcement or government agency, or as otherwise required by law.
  • Protection of Yobi and Others: We may share information when we believe disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property or safety of our company, our employees, our partners, or others; and to enforce our contracts.
  • Corporate Transactions: We may disclose your information as part of, or to take steps in anticipation of, a sale of all or a portion of our business, a divestiture, merger, consolidation, asset sale, bankruptcy, or other significant corporate event.
  • Other Lawful Disclosures: We may engage in other sharing of your information that is not legally prohibited.

4. Protection of Information

Although we maintain certain security measures, we cannot assure you that your personal information will remain secure.

5. Your Rights and Choices

6. Additional Detail for California Residents

This Section 6 applies only to “personal information” about California residents, as that term is defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), and it supplements the information in the rest of our Privacy Policy above. Data about individuals who are not residents of California may be handled differently and is not subject to the same rights described in this Section. This Section applies only to the extent required by the CCPA, so some personal information about Californians is not covered by this Section.

Collection, Use, and Disclosure of California Personal Information:

The chart also indicates the categories of third parties to whom we disclosed such data during the 12 months leading up to the effective date of this Privacy Policy.
