Connecting with others
An important part of effective goal-setting is to hold yourself accountable to your goals.

If you don't want to appear in the Brightyear.io search feel free to visit the Settings Page within the App. Note that your personal URL will still be accessible to the public in case you want to share your personal link with others in order to connect with them in the App.
