YouMind Privacy Policy
Effective 3 August 2026
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").
By using the Services, you agree to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not use the Services.
We collect information about you when you use the Services, including the following types of information:
- Personal information: This is information that identifies you as an individual, such as your name, email address, and phone number.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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:
- Provide the Services to you, including processing clipped content, YouTube notes, and annotations you create with the Extension
- Communicate with you about the Services
- Analyze and understand how the Services are used
- Personalize the content and advertising you see within the Services
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:
- Encryption in transit: Data transmitted between your device, the Extension, and our servers is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS.
- Access controls: Access to stored data is restricted to authorized personnel and systems that need it to operate the Services.
- 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:
- To provide the Services to you
- To comply with legal requirements
- 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:
- 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.
- Cloud infrastructure providers: We use cloud infrastructure and content delivery providers, such as AWS and Cloudflare, to host, store, and deliver the Services.
- Analytics providers: We use analytics services to help us understand how the Services are used and to improve them.
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.
