Yalies is a student-created app and website that serves as an internal search engine for Yale University. It provides comprehensive data on the Yale student body by amalgamating information from Yale Face Book and Yale Directory. With a focus on enhanced design, user experience, and security, Yalies ensures that it only utilizes data that Yale publicly releases. The platform emphasizes the importance of data privacy by offering guidance on removing personal data from Yale's public dataset.

This directory is exclusively intended for official University purposes and individual communication on a business or personal level among individuals listed in the Facebook/directory. Prohibited uses include any form of private, commercial, or political mailing using the provided information. Yalies operates seamlessly with an internet connection and necessitates a Yale University account along with Duo 2-factor Authentication for access. Note that the data showcased in the app's screenshots is simulated, and images are AI-generated.
