Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 10, 2023

We generally collect information in the following ways: if and when you provide information directly to us, automatically through our Services, and from third-party sources. Let's go over the information that we collect below.

Information You Provide to Us

The amount and type of information that we collect information that you provide to us depends on how you interact with our Services. Here are some examples:

Basic Account Information: While you can browse parts of our website without registering, we ask you to sign up for a MINDCLOUD.com account to access certain parts of the Services (e.g., to have access to one of our courses). When you sign up for a MINDCLOUD.com account, we may ask you for basic personal information such as your email address, first name, and last name, phone number. We may also allow you to submit additional voluntary account information, such as a profile picture, your bio, or country/city you're located in. You can also sign up to receive email newsletters and promotional offers from us by submitting your email address.
Profile Information: If you have an account with us, certain of your profile information will be used for your profile. For example, your username, profile picture, and self-reported location of residence are part of that public profile, along with any other information you choose to put into your public profile, such as your bio. So please keep that in mind when deciding what information you would like to include.
User Content: The content that you create and submit (e.g., images, comments) through the Services will be visible to registered users, such as authors of the courses and other users. We maintain a copy of such content and may append other information to it, such as comments and ratings from authors or peers. If you choose to engage in discussion, blogs, or similar features and submit comments, ratings, or other content, we maintain a copy of this content. You may remove your content by contacting us at hello@mindcloud.club. We may also collect certain information metadata associated with your content. Certain public user content may also be viewable by other website visitors and registered users of the Services.
Communications with Us: You may also provide us information when you respond to surveys, communicate with us by email, mail, chat, phone, or otherwise regarding the Services or a support question. We collect and maintain a record of your contact details, communications and our responses.
Other Information We Collect Regarding Your Usage of Our Services: We may also collect information about your use of our Services, such as your order history and purchases. We may also collect certain personal information about you from third parties, such as ratings, comments or grades provided by authors.
Authors Accounts: If you are an author and use the Site or the App, we collect personal information from you, including your name, profile picture, and bio, as well as content you provide, such as comments and ratings of users or other content that you submit to us.

We may also use pixels in HTML emails to understand if individuals read the emails we send to them ("Usage Data"). We may combine this information with other information that we have collected about you, including, where applicable, your name and other personal information.

How We Disclose Information

We may disclose information about you as spelled out below:

Subsidiaries and Affiliates: With our affiliated companies whose use and disclosure of such personal information is subject to this Policy.
Service Providers: We may share information about you with our third-party service providers who need to know information about you in order to provide their services on our behalf, or to provide their services to you or your site. This group includes, for example, vendors that help us provide our Services to you (like auditors, advisors, consultants, customer service and/or support providers, payment providers that process your credit and debit card information, fraud prevention services that allow us to analyze fraudulent payment transactions, postal and email delivery services that help us stay in touch with you, customer chat and email support services that help us communicate with you, our hosting providers, and those that assist us with our marketing efforts (e.g. by providing tools for identifying a specific marketing target group or improving our marketing campaigns), those that help us understand and enhance our Services (like analytics providers), and companies that make products available on our websites, who may need information about you in order to, for example, provide technical or other support services to you.
Third Parties: With third parties that provide advertising, campaign measurement, online and/or mobile analytics and related services. These third parties may receive or access browsing history and/or other data about your use of the Sites, in order to help us better reach individuals with relevant ads, measure our ad campaigns and/or to better understand how individuals interact with our Sites over time and across devices.
Legal Requests: We may disclose information to comply with the law or legal proceedings, for example, in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request.
To Protect Rights, Property, and Others: We may disclose information about you when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of MINDCLOUD, third parties, and/or others, and/or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved
Business Transfers: In connection with any actual or contemplated merger, sale of company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, or in the unlikely event that MINDCLOUD goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party.

Aggregated and De-identified Data: We may share aggregate or de-identified information with third parties for research, marketing, advertising, analytics and/or other purposes.

We and our third-party providers use cookies, clear GIFs/pixel tags, JavaScript, local storage, log files, and other mechanisms to automatically collect and record information about your browsing activities and use of the Sites and other Services. We may combine this "usage data" with other personal information we collect about you. We use this usage data to understand how our Services are used, track bugs and errors, provide and improve our Services, verify account credentials, allow logins, track sessions, prevent fraud, and protect our Services, as well as for targeted marketing and advertising, to personalize content and for analytics purposes.

Cookies

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Site, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities while using our Site. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Some of the Services may not work properly if you disable cookies.

Pixel Tags

Pixel tags are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer's hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use pixel tags (also referred to as web beacons, web bugs or clear GIFs), in connection with our Services to, among other things, help us manage ads and content, and compile statistics about usage of our Services. We may also use pixel tags in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.

You can block or disable cookies for the device and browser you are using, through your browser settings; however, certain features on our Sites may not be available or function properly if you block or disable cookies. Our Sites currently do not respond to "do not track" signals.
