Global Mind Map (Android)

Version 4.7 Effective date August 15, 2026 Last updated October 13, 2026

1. Introduction & Privacy by Default Architecture

Welcome to Global Mind Map ("we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to absolute data privacy and transparency. Our application is engineered from the ground up on a Privacy-by-Default standard:

• Essential Diagnostic Logging: To maintain application stability, eliminate critical runtime exceptions, and ensure service reliability, anonymized crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics) are processed automatically for adult profiles (18+) under our legitimate interest. No personal identification or diagram content is ever attached to these diagnostics. Behavioral analytics and advertising SDKs remain completely disabled until explicit onboarding classification and consent.
• Local Processing & Full Data Ownership: All mind maps, nodes, diagrams, text files, and custom .mndm files are generated, processed, and stored locally on your device. We operate no external cloud servers to ingest, inspect, or store your private projects.
• Compliance Onboarding: On first launch, the App requires user classification (age selection and usage profile) before initializing any network-dependent telemetry, consent flows, or monetization features.

2. Enterprise, Proprietary Data & Diagnostic Controls

We respect the confidentiality, operational security, and regulatory requirements of enterprises, professionals, and corporate environments:

• No Proprietary Data Ingestion: We do not collect, process, inspect, monetize, or harvest any proprietary business data, trade secrets, intellectual property, organizational charts, client information, or project text created within your diagrams. All mind maps and associated metadata remain strictly isolated within local device storage.
• Commercial & Enterprise Licensing: An active subscription to the Enterprise / Business Plan grants the subscribing individual or organization a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable commercial license to utilize the Application for corporate, professional, and commercial operations. This includes the creation, batch processing, vector/raster export, and distribution of mind maps within business presentations, internal reporting, client deliverables, consultancy materials, and commercial workflows. The digital transaction receipt issued by Google Play serves as conclusive legal proof of this commercial license grant. All intellectual property rights, titles, and interests in any diagrams, mind maps, or proprietary content generated by the user remain exclusively with the user or their respective enterprise.
• Local Project Isolation: All mind maps created for professional or corporate use remain strictly isolated on the user's local device storage unless explicitly and manually shared or backed up by the user.
• Essential Crash & Stability Logging (Non-Discretionary): To maintain runtime reliability, isolate fatal native exceptions, and ensure service availability across supported device architectures, anonymized technical telemetry (via Firebase Crashlytics) is collected automatically for verified adult profiles and corporate deployments. These records are strictly restricted to system-level event payloads (such as fatal exception stack traces, memory usage metrics, operating system version, and device hardware specifications) and are entirely stripped of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or diagram content. Processing is conducted under the legal basis of Legitimate Interest (GDPR Article 6(1)(f) and LGPD Article 7, IX) to maintain platform integrity, and this diagnostic framework operates without a manual deactivation toggle.
• Discretionary Telemetry & Behavioral Analytics Opt-Out: Enterprise and standard users retain unilateral control over non-essential behavioral tracking. You may enable or revoke consent for usage telemetry and Google Analytics at any time via the Privacy hub, the shield icon in the top bar of the app's main screen.

3. Device Permissions

Depending on the features you use, the application may request the following Android permissions:

Android permissions and their purpose

Permission	Purpose
Internet Access android.permission.INTERNET android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE	Required for Google Play Billing validation, UMP consent synchronization, essential crash stability logging, and optional usage telemetry.
Billing & Licensing com.android.vending.BILLING com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE	Securely processes Google Play in-app purchases, subscriptions, and license verification.
Storage / Media Access READ_MEDIA_IMAGES / Photo Picker android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE	Allows importing custom images into nodes and exporting mind maps as PDF, SVG, PNG, or editable .mndm files to your device storage.
Ad Services & Advertising IDs android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID	Required for advertising attribution, topic-based ad selection, and managing advertising identifiers for eligible adult profiles.
Background & Device Performance android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE android.permission.WAKE_LOCK	Ensures proper execution of foreground tasks and prevents the device from sleeping during long-running operations like database synchronization or large exports.

4. Universal Age Restrictions & Minor Protection

To exceed global regulatory standards—including COPPA (USA), GDPR-K (EEA/UK), and LGPD (Brazil)—we enforce programmatic restrictions based on age across all 144 supported locales:

Users under 13 years

• Complete prohibition of telemetry and diagnostic logging (Firebase Crashlytics permanently disabled).
• Absolute blocking of Google Analytics and Advertising IDs (GAID).
• Zero ad SDK initialization (no personalized, non-personalized, or rewarded ads).
• Strict daily quota of 10 mind map exports per day with no reward ad bypass options.

Users aged 13 to 17 years

• Complete prohibition of telemetry and diagnostic logging (Firebase Crashlytics permanently disabled).
• Absolute blocking of Google Analytics, Advertising IDs (GAID), and ad SDKs.
• Strict daily quota of 10 mind map exports per day with no reward ad bypass options.

5. Analytics, Diagnostics & Google UMP

For adult users (18+) and corporate profiles, data handling strictly differentiates between essential technical stability and discretionary opt-in services:

• Google Analytics for Firebase: Collects aggregated, non-personally identifiable usage events (e.g., UI interactions, session duration) strictly upon affirmative opt-in. Permanently disabled for users under 18.
• Firebase Crashlytics: Automatically captures anonymized stack traces, crash dumps, and hardware state indicators (OS version, device model) exclusively to diagnose unexpected closures and memory leaks. This technical diagnostic pipeline operates under legitimate interest, does not collect personal identifiers, and is strictly restricted to adult and enterprise profiles (completely disabled for minors under 18).
• Google User Messaging Platform (UMP): In applicable jurisdictions (EEA, UK, and Switzerland), Google UMP is orchestrated to collect and manage granular consent according to the IAB TCF framework before non-essential telemetry or advertising requests execute.
• Consent Revocation: Users can reset compliance preferences, purge cached consent states, and re-trigger consent dialogues at any time via the Privacy hub in the app's top bar.
• In addition to automated crash collection for adult profiles, users may voluntarily submit local technical crash logs directly to our support team via email after an unexpected application closure.

6. Advertising & Export Quotas

Monetization modules are dynamically integrated according to user age, profile type, and explicit consent:

Export quota and ad treatment by user category

User category	Baseline daily exports	Rewarded ad exports (+3)	Ad tracking type
Minors (< 18)	10 exports / day	Not available	Ads fully disabled
Standard adults (18+)	10 exports / day	Available via rewarded ad	Consent-based (UMP / personalized or NPA)
Enterprise / Company	10 exports / day	Available via rewarded ad	Non-personalized ads only (NPA)
Premium users	Unlimited	Not applicable	Ads fully disabled

• Dynamic Ad Spaces: Advertising formats (including banners, interstitials, and rewarded videos) adjust dynamically based on screen real estate, orientation, and device configuration.
• Enterprise Protection: Company profiles receive only non-personalized ads (NPA) to protect corporate privacy while maintaining access to export extension mechanics.

7. Third-Party Service Providers

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal or business data. We integrate the following third-party frameworks:

• Google Play Services: Used for framework support and secure in-app billing.
• Google Analytics for Firebase: Aggregated usage telemetry (subject to opt-in).
• Firebase Crashlytics: Anonymized technical diagnostics and crash reporting (restricted to adult/enterprise profiles; fully disabled for minors).
• Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) & UMP: Advertising delivery and consent management for eligible adult profiles.

8. Data Storage, Retention & User Rights (GDPR / CCPA / LGPD)

• Local Storage & Deletion: Because mind maps are stored locally, deleting the application or clearing app data completely removes your local projects.
• Data Retention: Collected diagnostic telemetry is retained only for as long as necessary to analyze application stability or comply with legal requirements.
• User Rights: You have the right to access, rectify, or request deletion of any telemetry data associated with your diagnostic logs, or revoke permissions directly in your Android device settings.
• Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising without affirmative consent.
• Legal Basis under GDPR & LGPD: We process behavioral analytics and advertising data based on your explicit consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a) / LGPD Article 7(I)). Essential crash diagnostic data is processed under our legitimate interest in maintaining application stability and performance (GDPR Article 6(1)(f) / LGPD Article 7(IX)).

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in legal requirements or application features. Any updates will be published with a revised "Last Updated" date.
