Privacy Policy

Introduction

At GoMind, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our mind mapping application. Our core principle is simple: your data belongs to you.

Data Collection

What We Collect

GoMind is designed with a local-first architecture, which means:

• Mind Map Data: All your mind maps, nodes, and content are stored locally on your device
• Application Settings: Your preferences (theme, language, layout settings) are stored locally
• No Personal Information: We do not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information
• No Usage Tracking: We do not track how you use the application
• No Analytics: We do not use analytics services or tracking cookies

What We Don't Collect

• Personal identification information
• Email addresses or contact information
• Location data
• Usage statistics or analytics
• Device identifiers beyond what the operating system requires

How We Use Your Data

Since all data is stored locally on your device, we have no access to your mind maps or personal content. The only data processing that occurs is:

• Rendering your mind maps on your device
• Saving and loading files from your local storage
• Exporting mind maps to PDF or PNG formats (processed locally)
• Storing your application preferences locally

Data Storage

Local Storage

All your data is stored exclusively on your device:

• Windows: Files are stored in your chosen directory and app settings in local AppData
• macOS: Files in your selected location and preferences in Application Support
• Linux: Files in your home directory and settings in config directory
• iOS/Android: Files in app-specific local storage

No Cloud Services

GoMind does not use any cloud services to store, process, or transmit your data. We do not have servers that collect or store user data.

Data Security

Your data security is ensured by:

• Local Storage: Data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export or share it
• No Network Requirements: GoMind works completely offline
• OS-Level Security: Your data is protected by your operating system's security measures
• No Account System: No passwords or accounts means no risk of account breaches

Third-Party Services

App Store Distribution

When you download GoMind from the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or other official distribution platforms, those platforms may collect information according to their own privacy policies:

• Apple App Store: Apple Privacy Policy
• Google Play Store: Google Privacy Policy

GoMind itself does not send any data to these platforms beyond what is required for the download and installation process.

No Third-Party Analytics

We do not use:

• Google Analytics or similar services
• Crash reporting services
• Advertising networks
• Social media integrations
• Any other third-party data collection services

Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade any user data because we do not collect it in the first place. The only way your mind maps can be shared is if you explicitly:

• Export them to a file and share that file
• Take a screenshot and share it
• Copy content and paste it elsewhere

Children's Privacy

GoMind does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13. The application is safe for all ages to use.

Your Rights

Because all data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control:

• Access: You can access all your data at any time through the application
• Modification: You can edit or delete any mind map or setting
• Portability: You can export your mind maps to standard formats (PDF, PNG)
• Deletion: You can delete all data by uninstalling the application or deleting files

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

Open Source Transparency

GoMind is built with transparency in mind. Our application architecture ensures that:

• No network connections are made without your explicit action
• All data processing happens locally on your device
• The application can run completely offline
