Introduction
At PrivateMind PKM, we believe that personal knowledge belongs exclusively to you. Our platform is built from the ground up with a privacy-first architecture, ensuring that all AI processing, storage, and synchronization occur locally on your device without transmitting sensitive information to external servers. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, protect, and handle any minimal data necessary to operate our software and official website.
By using PrivateMind PKM, you acknowledge that we do not sell, share, or monetize your personal information. We are committed to transparency, compliance with global privacy standards, and providing you with complete control over your digital footprint. This document serves as our pledge to safeguard your trust while empowering you to manage your thoughts securely without compromising your anonymity.
Information We Collect
PrivateMind PKM operates on a strict data-minimization principle. When you visit our website, we may automatically log basic analytics such as anonymized IP addresses, browser type, and referring URLs solely to monitor site performance and improve navigation experience. Crucially, this web traffic data is never linked to your identity, is stored temporarily, and is purged automatically through standard log rotation mechanisms.
Within the PrivateMind PKM application itself, we collect absolutely zero personal data. Your notes, documents, chat histories, vector embeddings, and AI-generated insights are processed entirely within your local environment. You retain full ownership and physical possession of your knowledge graph at all times, meaning no cloud backups, usage metrics, or diagnostic telemetry leave your machine unless you explicitly opt into voluntary update checks.
How We Use Information
Any minimal data collected through our website is used strictly for operational maintenance, security monitoring, and service improvements. We do not employ tracking pixels, third-party advertising networks, or behavioral profiling algorithms. All analytics are aggregated and anonymized to ensure they cannot be traced back to individual users or correlated with your application activity.
Inside the PrivateMind PKM ecosystem, data usage is determined solely by your actions. Local AI models execute inference directly on your hardware to summarize, link, and retrieve your knowledge base without outsourcing computation or sending prompts to remote APIs. We never analyze your content for model training purposes, nor do we use your information to build user profiles, target advertisements, or enhance shared datasets.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website utilizes only essential cookies required for core functionality, such as maintaining session preferences and ensuring secure authentication during documentation updates. These cookies are small, text-based files stored temporarily on your device and can be disabled through your browser settings without affecting your ability to browse our informational pages or download releases.
PrivateMind PKM explicitly rejects persistent marketing cookies, cross-site trackers, fingerprinting scripts, and social media widgets. The desktop and mobile applications do not install or rely on any browser-related tracking mechanisms. Your choice to disable cookies will be respected across all our digital touchpoints, aligning with our commitment to frictionless privacy and unrestricted navigation.
Third-Party Services
Although PrivateMind PKM operates entirely offline, certain system dependencies may interact with trusted infrastructure providers for legitimate technical purposes, such as OS-level font rendering, hardware acceleration drivers, or optional release notifications via verified package repositories. These interactions are strictly limited to cryptographic signature verification, version compatibility checks, and DNS resolution, ensuring your knowledge base remains completely isolated from external networks.
Data Security
We implement industry-standard encryption protocols, including AES-256 for local database storage and TLS 1.3 for any necessary network communications with our website. Access controls, permission sandboxes, and regular internal security audits ensure that your knowledge graph remains resilient against unauthorized access, malware, and data exfiltration attempts. Because your data never leaves your device, we eliminate server-side breach risks entirely and place full responsibility for backup management in your hands.
Your Rights and Controls
You retain complete authority over your information under applicable data protection regulations, including GDPR, CCPA, and similar frameworks. Since PrivateMind PKM processes data locally, you have immediate rights to export, permanently delete, or modify your entire knowledge base at any time through our built-in management tools. Requests regarding website analytics or account-related inquiries will be honored promptly, though most operations require no external intervention due to our decentralized architecture.
Policy Updates
This Privacy Policy may be revised periodically to reflect changes in our software capabilities, legal requirements, or evolving privacy best practices. Any material modifications will be prominently displayed on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage users to review this document regularly, as continued use of PrivateMind PKM constitutes acceptance of the terms outlined herein.
