MindPing
Privacy Policy
MindPing · Last updated 28 August 2026 I built MindPing so you can get a thought out of your head before it disappears. That means you'll put things in it that matter — appointments, money, family, the small private stuff. So here is exactly what happens to it, written the way I'd explain it to a friend rather than the way a lawyer would. If anything here is unclear, email me: amidou308@gmail.com
The short version
- Your reminders are yours. I don't read them, sell them, or show them to anyone.
- No ads. No tracking. No analytics. Nothing in this app is watching you.
- Your voice is never recorded or stored. It only ever goes to Apple, and only if your phone cannot transcribe your language offline.
- The words you capture do get sent to an AI to be understood. That's the one thing that leaves
your phone, and it's explained properly below.
- You can delete everything, instantly, from inside the app.
What I keep
Your reminders. The title, any note, the category, the date and time, whether it repeats, and whether you've done it. These live on your phone. If you sign in, they're also saved on a server so they come back when you lose your phone or get a new one. Your email address, if you sign in. That's it — there's no password, because signing in just sends a code to your inbox. No name, no phone number, no birthday. Anything you send through the feedback form — your message, and your email if you choose to include one so I can reply.
What I don't touch
No location. No contacts. No photos. No advertising ID. No third-party trackers. No analytics telling me which buttons you press. I genuinely don't know how you use the app, and I'm fine with that.
Voice and AI — the part worth reading
Your phone turns your voice into text, not me. Where your iPhone has offline dictation for your language, the audio never leaves the device at all. Where it does not, iOS sends the audio to Apple to transcribe, under Apple's privacy policy — that is the one case where your voice leaves your phone, and it is the only one. It is never sent to me. I never hear it, never store it, and MindPing keeps no audio anywhere. The text does leave your phone. When you say *"call the dentist tomorrow at 9"*, that sentence goes to Google's Gemini AI, which reads it and sends back the pieces — a title, a date, a category. That's how the app knows "tomorrow at 9" means 9am tomorrow, in four languages, without you filling in a form. Being precise about it:
- What's sent: just the words you captured, the current time, your timezone, and your language.
- What's not sent: your email, your name, your account, or any of your other reminders. The AI
gets that one sentence and nothing else. It has no idea who you are.
- What happens to it: it's used to answer that one request. MindPing uses a paid Google account,
on which Google do not use what is sent to improve or train their products.
- How to avoid it entirely: turn off your internet. Offline, the app reads your reminder itself,
right on the phone. It's a bit less clever about unusual phrasing, but nothing leaves the device. If this matters to you, the offline mode is a real option, not a token one. I'd rather tell you this plainly than have you find out later.
Where it's stored
Your reminders sit in a Supabase database hosted in Europe (Frankfurt). Sign-in codes are delivered by Resend, who see your email address in order to send you the code. Every database request is locked to the account that made it. Another user can't read your reminders even if they go looking — I've tested this by actually trying to break in from the outside. One honest limitation: your data is encrypted while travelling to the server, and the server's disks are encrypted. But it is not end-to-end encrypted — meaning the text of your reminders is stored in a form that could technically be read by someone with full database access, including me. I don't, and nothing in the app is built to. But I'm not going to claim a level of protection I haven't actually built.
Backups
The database is backed up once a night, automatically. Backups are stored privately and **deleted after 14 days**. Nothing older is kept. So if you delete something, it's gone from the backups too within two weeks at the latest.
How long things stick around
Deleting everything
Settings → Delete account. It asks if you're sure, then removes your account and every reminder attached to it. Straight away — it's not a request that sits in a queue waiting for me. You can also just email me if you'd rather ask, or if you want a copy of what I hold, or if something's wrong and you want it corrected. If you're in the EU or UK these are your rights under GDPR, and you can complain to your national data protection authority if I don't sort it out.
Children
MindPing isn't built for children under 13, and I don't knowingly keep their data.
Who else sees your data
Nobody buys it. Nobody advertises to you. There are no ads in this app. Three companies are involved, each doing one job: Supabase stores your reminders, Google reads the text you capture so it can be understood, Resend delivers your sign-in code. None of them get your data for their own purposes.
If this changes
If I change something here that actually affects you, I'll tell you in the app before it takes effect. The date at the top is always the current version.
