Privacy Policy

Who we are

Mind Palace is operated by Sidequest Research LLC, a Texas limited liability company. In this policy, that's “we” and “us”.

This policy covers the website and how it works with your palace.

What the website collects

If you join the list, we save your first name, email and the optional answer to “What should your palace remember for you?”. We use these to keep your place and send invitations.

We also keep invite codes and the information needed for sign-in and setup: your account, palace name and address, awake and locked status, and your setup help note. Your setup note stays on the website, not in your palace's memory.

Our host keeps basic hosting logs for requests to the website.

Check-ins and reports

About every 10 minutes, your palace sends us a short check-in. It says which palace it is, its name and release number, whether an update is waiting and whether you update by saying yes or on its own, whether it is awake and locked, whether it has a passkey yet, whether it already has what it needs to connect Google and Telegram, and its time zone.

It also sends counts for each day. Numbers only:

• How often you opened it, and how many messages you sent to Ask your palace.
• How often each assistant read your memory and saved to it, and whether it came straight to your palace or through this website.
• Routines run, tasks finished, things it built for you, and cards you said yes or no to.
• Which accounts are plugged in and used (Gmail, Calendar, WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage), and when Google refused to connect.
• Files kept. Memories brought in (from a file, a paste or by asking an assistant), how many notes they made, and saves it turned away.
• The getting-started steps and the tour, done or skipped. Nudges and reminders shown and acted on. Copies of the words to paste into an assistant. Routines switched on from a starter or made from your own words.

It never sends your memory, a note, a message, a routine's words, the name of a file, a card or anything it built, or what an assistant asked. Settings → About shows the same list. We keep the counts for 90 days.

You can choose to send a bug report from Settings → About → Tell the maker. It includes your words and your palace's status lines, with emails, numbers and codes hidden. Only send details you want us to see.

What stays in your palace

Your memory, the notes your assistants save, your routines, your Ask your palace conversation and anything your palace built for you live in your own palace. So do the messages, mail, calendar information and files it reads from the accounts you connected. None of it is sent to us as website records.

Your palace is locked with your passkey. We can't open a locked palace. The AI services and assistants you choose may see the information described below.

There are limits to that protection. Whoever controls the computers we rent could change what runs and wait for you to unlock your palace again. Read about those limits →

The brain you choose

The messages you send, and the memory your palace needs to answer them, are processed by the AI company whose brain you use. The included brain runs through Venice.ai.

You can instead use your own key from Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI (Grok), Meta (Muse), OpenRouter or Venice, or your ChatGPT plan. Those companies' own privacy terms apply to what they process.

Notifications

Notifications are off until you turn them on. When they're on, your palace sends them through your phone's or browser's own notification service, run by Apple, Google, Mozilla or Microsoft depending on your device. They're encrypted to your device and carry only a short title, never your messages or notes.

Other assistants

If you connect Claude, ChatGPT, Grok or Muse to your palace, it can read and save what you allowed on the page where you said yes. That access is also covered by the assistant company's own terms and privacy policy. Disconnect an assistant from Connections when you change your mind.

When you connect an assistant with your palace's Connect button, its requests pass through this website on their way to your palace. We keep nothing of what they say: only what is needed to route them (which palace, a hashed sign-in token), a daily count of calls per assistant (how many, and how many saved something), and basic hosting logs.

Connected accounts and Google data

Gmail and Calendar, WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage through your own Mac are read by your palace when you connect them, to provide the things you chose. If you let it, your palace also reads your Google Drive, read only.

Our use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Google user data is used only to provide your palace's features to you. We don't sell it, use it for ads, or use it to train models. Any transfer of that data is limited to providing those features, security needs, or what the law requires.

Humans don't read your Google data except with your permission, when needed for security, or when the law requires it.

No selling. No ads.

We don't sell personal data. We don't run ads.

Download or empty

You can download your palace or empty it at any time. Keep your passkey and recovery phrase safe. If you lose every way to unlock it and your recovery phrase, nobody can recover what's inside.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as Mind Palace changes. We'll update the effective date above. We'll tell you on the website or in your palace before meaningful changes apply.
