MIND MOTOR PTE. LTD. (also referred to as "YouMind", "we", "our" and "us") is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information about you when you use our websites, mobile applications, browser extensions, and other online services (collectively, the "Services").

This Privacy Policy describes our processing practices; using the Services does not by itself constitute consent where consent is legally required. In the EEA, UK, Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Åland, optional browser technologies remain off until you choose. In the United States and other regions, optional functionality, analytics, and marketing may operate by default where permitted, and you can opt out or customize them at any time. A supported Global Privacy Control signal disables Marketing processing. See our Cookies and Similar Technologies Policy for the regional rules, technologies, data involved, and controls.

We collect information about you when you use the Services, including the following types of information:

1. Personal information: This is information that identifies you as an individual, such as your name, email address, and phone number.
2. Device information: This is information about the device you use to access the Services, such as the type of device, the operating system, and the device's unique device identifier.
3. Usage information: This is information about how you use the Services, such as the pages you visit and the actions you take within the Services.
4. Location information: This is information about your location, such as your IP address or GPS data.

We may also collect information about you from third parties, such as social media platforms or other companies that provide us with data.

The YouMind browser extension ("Extension") provides AI-powered web clipping, YouTube note-taking, and web annotation features. To provide these features, the Extension collects and processes the following data, only in connection with actions you actively take:

1. Web page content: When you use the Extension to clip a web page, we collect the content of that page (such as text, images, and page metadata) that you choose to save.
2. YouTube video information: When you use the Extension to take notes on a YouTube video, we collect information about that video (such as its title, URL, transcript, and timestamps) to generate and organize your notes.
3. Annotations and highlights: When you annotate or highlight content on a web page using the Extension, we collect the annotation or highlight text, its location on the page, and the associated page URL so that it can be saved and displayed back to you.
4. Account and sync data: We collect the information necessary to associate the content you clip, annotate, or take notes on with your YouMind account and to sync it across your devices.

The Extension does not collect your browsing history, page content, or activity on pages where you do not actively use a clipping, note-taking, or annotation feature. Data is collected only when you invoke the relevant Extension feature.

We use the information we collect about you to provide, maintain, and improve the Services, and to personalize your experience. This includes using the information to:

1. Provide the Services to you, including processing clipped content, YouTube notes, and annotations you create with the Extension
2. Communicate with you about the Services
3. Analyze and understand how the Services are used
4. Personalize content where permitted, and measure or deliver advertising under the regional cookie controls and your effective choices

We may also use your information for research and analytics purposes, to enforce our policies, or as required by law.

Data you collect through the Services, including content clipped or annotated using the Extension, is stored on secure cloud servers operated by us or by our cloud infrastructure providers. We take the following measures to protect your data:

1. Encryption in transit: Data transmitted between your device, the Extension, and our servers is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS.
2. Access controls: Access to stored data is restricted to authorized personnel and systems that need it to operate the Services.
3. Retention: We retain your data only for as long as necessary to provide the Services, as described in the Data Retention section below.

While we take reasonable measures to protect your information, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may share your information with third parties for the following purposes:

1. To provide the Services to you
2. To comply with legal requirements
3. To protect the rights, property, or safety of YouMind, our users, or others

We may also share your information with the following categories of third parties for business purposes:

1. AI model providers: We share content you submit for processing (such as clipped web pages, YouTube notes, or annotations) with AI model providers, such as Anthropic and Google, in order to generate summaries, notes, and other AI-powered features.
2. Cloud infrastructure providers: We use cloud infrastructure and content delivery providers, such as AWS and Cloudflare, to host, store, and deliver the Services.
3. Analytics and advertising providers: Where permitted by the regional cookie controls, Global Privacy Control, your choices, and applicable law, we use analytics and advertising services to understand how the Services are used, improve them, and measure referrals or campaigns.

These third parties are only permitted to use your information as necessary to provide services to us, and are contractually bound to protect it in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.

The Extension's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. The Extension does not sell or transfer user data to third parties for purposes unrelated to the Extension's core functionality. User data collected by the Extension is used solely to provide and improve the Extension's features as described in this Privacy Policy.

1. You can opt out of receiving marketing communications from us by following the unsubscribe instructions in the communications we send you.

5. You can exercise your right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, or to request data portability, by contacting us using the contact information provided below.

Please note that if you opt out of certain types of data collection or use, you may not be able to use all of the features of the Services.

We retain your personal data, including data collected by the Extension, for as long as necessary to provide the Services to you, to comply with legal requirements, and to protect the rights, property, or the safety of us, our users, or others. If you delete clipped content, notes, or annotations, or uninstall the Extension, we will delete the associated data within a reasonable time, except where retention is required for legal or security purposes.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the Services to stay informed about our data collection and use practices and your choices.
