Legal

Privacy Policy

Published: December 15, 2025 Effective: December 15, 2025

Mindberg App (“App”) is owned and managed by Mindberg doo (“Mindberg,” “we,” “us,” and “our”), a company with offices at Hadzi-Prodanova 18, Belgrade, Serbia. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose your personal data.

Here are the key takeaways:

  • All we know about you is what you share by visiting and interacting with our App, available via Google Play Store, Apple’s App Store, and on the web. We don’t collect personal data from third parties. You can use our App under a pseudonym.
  • When you use our App, even without logging in, we receive some data like your device type and IP address. You can share additional information by creating an account.
  • We use AI-powered tools to generate personalized psychological content based on your responses. Your inputs are processed by third-party AI service providers under strict data processing agreements.
  • We don’t sell your personal data. Never have, never will.
  • You can opt in and out of communications, update your details, or delete your account at any time. You can also request a copy of your information.
  • We use your responses to assessments and tools to provide our services and to improve our understanding of personality patterns.
  • Questions? Contact us — see Section 10 for details.
Section 01

How Do We Collect Information?

We collect, store, and use information you share on our App, including the resulting personality analysis, shadow work profiles, archetypal patterns, and dream analysis determined by Mindberg — including through the use of AI-powered tools — on that basis. This includes your name, email address, date of birth, answers to our assessments and tools, the description of your dreams, and any other information you choose to enter on the App, as well as personalized insights and guidance generated by the App.

Our App uses AI-powered tools to analyze your responses and generate personalized psychological content. When you submit information such as assessment answers or dream descriptions, this data may be processed by third-party AI service providers operating under strict data processing agreements. These providers process your data solely to generate your results and do not retain your personal data for their own purposes.

If you provide personal data of another person on our App, you must ensure you have that person’s consent to both the disclosure and the processing of their data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Depending on your method of payment, we may collect purchase information such as payment details, billing address, and related payment data. Payment processing is handled by third-party providers — we do not store your full payment card details.

We also record certain technical information when you use our App, including information about your device and your visits to and use of our App, such as your IP address, browser type, and page views.

Whether Information Has to Be Provided by You and Why

Providing contact and relevant information enables us to communicate with you and deliver our services. We’ll inform you at the point of collection whether the information is required.

If you don’t provide certain requested information, we may not be able to provide the services which require it (e.g., certain features or assessments).

Section 02

How Do We Use the Information We Collect?

We use the information we collect to provide you with our services and content that is relevant and personal to you. Specifically, it’s necessary for us to use your information to:

  • Send you account-related messages, such as password recovery emails
  • Identify you and ensure the security of your account
  • Provide you with personalized content and services relevant to your psychological profile
  • Process your assessment responses using AI-powered tools to generate shadow work profiles, archetypal analysis, dream interpretations, and other personalized psychological insights
  • Respond to your questions or complaints

We have a legitimate interest in using your information in these ways. It’s necessary for us to make our services and content as relevant to you as possible.

In addition, we have a legitimate interest in maintaining our relationship with you, improving our App and services, and protecting both you and other users. We use your information to:

  • Conduct analytics on how you use our App in order to better understand your needs and optimize our service. We use third-party analytics providers to collect standard usage data and behavior patterns. This information is processed in a way that does not identify individuals.
  • Improve our App and develop new functionality
  • Conduct internal analysis and research to improve our services and understanding of personality patterns
  • Keep the App secure and prevent fraud
  • Keep users safe, including working with law enforcement where necessary
  • Verify compliance with the terms and conditions governing use of the App

Other legal grounds that apply to our processing of your personal data include:

  • Where we provide services to you as a member — covered by our contract with you (see our Terms and Conditions)
  • Where we expressly require consent from you for the processing in question
  • Where another legal ground applies — e.g., to protect vital interests, or where required by law

We will only use your personal data with your consent to send email newsletters (you can unsubscribe at any time), and where assessments involve “special category” personal data (e.g., data concerning health), which we process to provide results and subsequently for anonymized research purposes. You may withdraw consent at any time.

Where you supply us with special category personal data, we may further process this data for research purposes in anonymized form, relying on Article 17, Section 2, Item 10 of the Serbian Personal Data Protection Law (“DP Law”) and Article 9.2(j) of the GDPR.

We will not provide your personal data to any third parties for the purpose of direct marketing by those parties.

Section 03

Do We Transfer Your Information Elsewhere?

As a worldwide digital service, we work with providers located both within and outside Serbia and the European Economic Area (EEA) in order to operate our App. Some of your personal data may be transferred outside Serbia and the EEA. Some of the countries in question may not have data protection laws equivalent to those in Serbia or the EEA.

We ensure that any transfer of your personal information outside Serbia and the EEA is subject to appropriate safeguards as permitted under the DP Law and the GDPR. We generally use standard contractual clauses for such transfers, unless the destination country has been deemed adequate. We also limit access to your personal information to staff members who have a business need for it.

Here are the categories of third-party providers we work with:

AI Service Providers

To process your assessment responses and generate personalized psychological content, including shadow work profiles, archetypal analysis, and dream interpretation.

Cloud Hosting & Infrastructure

To host our App, databases, and related services. Your data is stored on secure, access-controlled servers.

Analytics Providers

To understand usage patterns and improve the App experience. Usage data is processed without identifying individuals.

Payment & Subscription Management

To process purchases, manage subscriptions, and conduct anti-fraud checks via app store billing and third-party payment processors.

Email Service Providers

To deliver account-related communications and newsletters. We collect email delivery metrics to improve deliverability.

App Distribution Platforms

Apple App Store and Google Play Store, through which the App is distributed and in-app purchases are processed.

All third-party providers act as data processors in accordance with our instructions. We transfer as little data as possible and encrypt it where feasible.

Section 04

How Can You Manage Your Information?

If you have an account on our App, you can use the Settings section to manage your personal details. This allows you to:

  • Update your email address
  • Edit your profile name or make it private
  • Manage notifications
  • Delete your profile

If you delete your profile, we will anonymize your user record, removing your email address, name, age, and other identifying information.

We will not, however, delete your responses to assessments, log records, and similar data. We retain this data to preserve the integrity of our research and ensure the security of our App.

If you decide to delete your profile, please save any information you’d like to keep beforehand. Once the profile is deleted, it cannot be recovered.

You can also ask us to correct personal data you have provided, or to remove specific personally identifying information from our App. We will need to verify the authenticity of any such request — please ensure your account is linked to an active email address.

Section 05

How and When Do We Share Your Information?

Our staff, agents, suppliers, and subcontractors may need access to your information where necessary for the provision of our services.

There are also certain circumstances where we may disclose your personal information:

  • Where required by law or in connection with legal proceedings
  • Where we need to establish, exercise, or defend our legal rights
  • If we are involved in a merger, reorganization, or similar proceeding requiring transfer of information
  • If we have strong reason to believe that you or someone else is in immediate physical danger, we may contact local authorities and provide relevant information

We don’t serve ads in our App, and we don’t share your data with online advertisers. As a general rule, except as described above, we don’t share your personal information with third parties.

Section 06

How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

We keep your information only for as long as needed to provide services to you and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. Retention periods include:

  • Payment and order data, including relevant access logs — 10 years
  • Activity logs — 1 year
  • Transient activity records (e.g., email invitations, password resets) — 3 months
  • Account details — unlimited (while the account is active)
  • Content submitted to our App — unlimited

We regularly delete accounts that are not linked to meaningful activity and have been inactive for more than two years.

We will depersonalize your information or remove it from our systems once it is no longer needed for compliance, legal, regulatory, or other purposes described in this policy.

Section 07

How Do We Handle Children’s Information?

Our App is not intended for individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you are below this age, you are not permitted to use our App, products, or services, and should not provide us with personal data.
