CAFE Initiative - Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to the CAFE App, managed by Good Return (“we,” “our,” “us”). Good Return is a social purpose organization working throughout the Asia Pacific region, dedicated to empowering women and their families by providing access to opportunities that build financial security. Our efforts focus on offering responsible finance to local entrepreneurs and delivering education and business training to women and other marginalized groups, helping them build confidence and financial capability. The outcome is a growing generation of empowered entrepreneurs who are taking control of their finances, livelihoods, and futures.

The CAFE App is designed to enhance the learning experience by enabling our trainers to register learners, track attendance, and check the learning progress weekly. The app is primarily used by trainers delivering Good Return’s curriculum, serving as a valuable monitoring tool. While access to the app is not restricted, only specific users, such as trainers or coaches and partner organisations, will need to use its features. Any organization interested in delivering Good Return’s Financial Literacy training programs can use the app, provided they are on boarded as a Good Return partner. The app is free to use, with no paid content or payment needed for any features.
