Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 3, 2025

PathMind (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience while using our web application, services, and website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use PathMind.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

  • Personal Information: When you interact with our website regardless of if it’s the main domain (https://pathmind.app) or the documentation subdomain (https://docs.pathmind.app), you may provide personal information such as your name, email address, and other contact details. This is typically collected when you sign up to create an account, join a waitlist or contact support. We may use that data to send you emails but only if you opt in.
  • Usage Data: We automatically collect information about your interactions with PathMind, including IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and actions taken within the app.
  • Map and Thought Data: PathMind allows you to create, edit, store and share mind maps and courses. This data is stored locally in your browser or device and, if you choose, may be exported or shared.
  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience, remember your preferences, and analyze usage patterns.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Provide, operate, and improve PathMind and its features.
  • Respond to your inquiries, feedback, and support requests.
  • Analyze usage to improve performance, security, and user experience.
  • Communicate updates, new features, and relevant information (if you opt-in).
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms of service.
  • Create your public profile on Pathmind Courses (if applies).

3. Data Storage and Security

  • Local Storage: Most user-generated data (maps, tables, thoughts) is stored locally in your browser or device. You control this data and can export or delete it at any time.
  • Ownership: If you sign your map with a password consider exporting it as .pathmind since if you use that format no one can decode your password externally.
  • Security Measures: We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

4. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties except in the following circumstances:

  • With your explicit consent.
  • To comply with legal requirements, court orders, or governmental requests.
  • To protect the rights, property, or safety of PathMind, our users, or others.

5. Third-Party Services

PathMind may integrate with third-party services (such as file storage, analytics, or AI providers). These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites or services.

6. Children’s Privacy

PathMind is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us to request deletion.

7. Your Rights and Choices

  • You may access, update, export, or delete your data at any time using PathMind’s features.
  • You may opt out of non-essential communications.
  • You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not function properly.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on our website, and the “Last updated” date will be revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
