Mindless: Tasks & Bookmarks

Response from developer

Update June 11, 2026: we've now updated the privacy policy to remove the language flagged here - not just soften the wording - and to more clearly reflect our actual privacy practices and commitments. You can read it at getmindless.com/privacy. I'm the founder - if you have any other suggestions, or if anything is still unclear or doesn't sit right, please reach out to me directly at jonathan@getmindless.com.  -------------- Hi Jeff - you’re right to call this out, and I want to be straight with you. Some of the language in our privacy policy came from a generic template, and we didn’t catch that parts of it describe practices we don’t actually do. The “joint venture marketing partners” section and some of the California language in particular say things that don’t reflect how Mindless works or what we do. That’s on us, and we’re removing those portions - not just softening the wording. Here’s what’s actually true about Mindless: we don’t show third-party ads in the app, we don’t sell or share your notes, tasks, links, contacts, files, or other saved content with third parties for marketing, and we don’t share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We do run Google, Meta, and Apple Ads to drive downloads for Mindless - but that’s just us advertising Mindless, and we never use the content you create in Mindless for those campaigns. We’ll have the policy updated within the next few days to reflect what we actually do in these areas - clearly and without the boilerplate that created this confusion. If you’re open to it, please reach out to me directly at jonathan@getmindless.com. I’d really appreciate the chance to hear your concerns and make sure the updated language addresses them clearly. I’m the founder, and this matters to me personally. Thank you for reading carefully and saying something. We need to get this right, and we will.
