This policy describes how MindUp ("MindUp", "we", "us", or "our") collects, receives, processes, uses, discloses, or shares your information when you use our website (www.mindup.studio), mobile applications, products, or services, or otherwise interact with us.
We promise to treat your Personal Data with care and respect. If you have any questions or concerns about the use of your information, please contact us at contact@mindup.studio.
This policy applies to Personal Data we collect or process through our websites, applications, products, and services. In some cases we may provide supplemental privacy notices for specific products, practices, or regions; those supplements should be read together with this policy.
If you provide information on a third-party website or platform (including app stores, social login providers, or payment processors such as Stripe), that platform's own privacy policy governs its use of your information. Choices you make on a third-party platform do not apply to our use of information collected through our own services.
We acknowledge our obligation to all users—visitors, registered users, and administrators—to collect, manage, and process their Personal Data in accordance with the laws of each jurisdiction in which we operate.
By using the service you represent that: (i) you have read, understood, and agreed to this Privacy Policy; (ii) you are at least 18 years old (or your parent/guardian has read and agreed to this Privacy Policy on your behalf). If you do not agree or cannot make this commitment you must (a) delete your account via the "Settings" function or contact us to request deletion; (b) cancel any active subscription via the method you used to subscribe (App Store, our website via Stripe, or other); and (c) remove the application from your device.
We collect data you voluntarily provide, data received from third parties, and data automatically gathered from your devices.
When you register for or use our services you may provide: audiobook & book summary preferences, age, gender, email address, and any other information you choose to share.
Sign in with Apple: When you use "Sign in with Apple" we receive your name and verified email address (or an anonymous relay address). Apple displays its own privacy information during sign-in; you can revoke access in your Apple ID settings.
Google Sign-In: If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture as permitted by Google's OAuth consent screen.
