Yubo is a teen-and-young-adult social-discovery and livestreaming app published by Twelve-App SAS, a private company based in Paris, France (SIREN 810283507, president Sacha Lazimi). Yubo's own privacy policy discloses use of Yoti's facial age-estimation technology on a user's selfie — data it says may be considered biometric in some jurisdictions, though it states the facial-geometry output is deleted immediately after estimation — plus precise GPS location to power live-video and nearby-friend matching, and advertising IDs (AAID/IDFA) for marketing attribution. The policy states "we do not sell personal data" but discloses sharing with marketing partners, affiliates, and service providers; the Apple App Store privacy label independently confirms Usage Data is used to track users across other companies' apps and is linked to the user for Developer's Advertising or Marketing purposes. Yubo self-publishes a bi-annual Transparency Report (since 2021) with named safety and moderation metrics, but no independent third-party audit of those figures, and no FTC, CNIL, or other regulator enforcement action against Yubo or Twelve-App, was found in this research.

Yubo's privacy policy states it uses Yoti's facial age-estimation technology to algorithmically estimate a user's age from a submitted selfie and check consistency with their stated birthdate, and separately states that in jurisdictions where this analysis is considered biometric data, Yubo requests consent to process it; the policy also states facial geometry data is removed immediately after the estimation is done, though the selfie itself is retained while the account remains active, and precise GPS location is separately collected to show live videos and suggest nearby people.
Yubo's own privacy policy names Twelve-App as the data controller responsible for users' personal data and gives its registered office as 59 rue de Ponthieu, bureau 562, 75008 Paris, France — matching the independent government registry record.
France's official open-data business registry (recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr, sourced from INSEE/INPI filings) confirms Yubo's publisher Twelve-App is registered under SIREN 810283507, categorized as a PME (small/medium enterprise), headquartered at 59 rue de Ponthieu, Paris, with Sacha Lazimi listed as Président de SAS.
Yubo's Apple App Store privacy label discloses that data linked to the user's identity — including Usage Data, Contact Info (Phone Number), and Identifiers (Device ID) — is used for the developer's own Advertising or Marketing purpose.
Yubo's privacy policy states "We do not sell personal data," but discloses that it shares personal data with Service Providers, corporate Affiliates, and Marketing Partners (described elsewhere as platforms that help measure marketing-campaign performance on social media), and may transfer data to a new entity in a merger, acquisition, or other change-of-control transaction.
Yubo self-publishes a bi-annual Transparency Report, made available to users, journalists, and safety authorities since 2021, covering content-moderation and child-safety metrics; its latest report (covering January-June 2024, published September 2024) states proactive detection reports rose from 85% to 92.5% compared with the prior period, alongside a jump in moderated textual content from 4% to 41.2%. No independent third-party audit of these self-reported figures, and no FTC/CNIL/other regulator enforcement action against Yubo or Twelve-App, was found in this research.
Yubo's Apple App Store privacy label states that "Usage Data" is the only category disclosed as potentially used to track the user across apps and websites owned by other companies, narrower than the broader "Identifiers" tracking category some dating-app peers' labels disclose.
Yubo's privacy policy discloses collecting advertising IDs — Google's AAID and Apple's IDFA — which it describes as randomly generated numbers resettable in device settings, used to measure the performance of marketing campaigns and attribution.
