Privacy policies are the most ignored part of any website. In fact, companies could recite the lyrics of a Spice Girls song in their policies, and no one (but lawyers) would notice.
Like most people, when you use the internet privately – on your smartphone or desktop – you probably have the impression that your activities are also private. But the truth is that you are more exposed than you think.
By law, you don’t have to provide us with any Personal Data, but if you do, you can withdraw your consent at any time, and we will remove your account and all Personal Data associated with it.
You can always request from us to review, amend, delete, or restrict the processing of your Personal Data. How? There’s a one-click button in your “Profile” section to delete or to get a copy of your Personal Data. You can also send us a direct request here.
We use your Personal Data for three reasons: 1) to provide you with our services; 2) to ensure that our services are working properly and prevent attempts to break in our systems or use your Personal Data improperly; 3) where there is a legal obligation imposed on us, or to protect legal rights.
If you are under 16 years old, we will need your parents’ or guardian’s consent. We’re sorry, but if you are under 16, you’ll have to sit tight just a little longer to use our service without their approval.
Your email inbox reflects most of your digital footprint, Mine has developed a non-intrusive technology that reconstructs that footprint while collecting the bare minimum of data.
When you register to our service, we will ask you to provide us your permission to connect to your email inbox. We use methods such as “Connect with Google”, “Connect with Yahoo”, and “Connect with Microsoft” to securely access your email inbox. These methods are based on the OAUTH2 secured authorization protocol, which means we don’t have any access to your password.
Then, we will identify email exchanges between you and the digital services you interacted with (for simplicity - we call them “companies”) and present you with the list of these companies. Our technology scans only:
During this process, we do not process or collect the content of any email in your inbox.
Now that you can access your digital footprint, you can exercise your legal rights and send reclaim requests (right-to-be-forgotten) to the companies of your choice. Every time you decide to reclaim your Personal Data from a company, the request is transmitted directly from your email inbox.
We help you send these requests, but we do not act as an agent on your behalf.
To help you complete your reclaim requests faster and save you precious time, your requests will include the original subject lines of the last three email messages that you received from the company. These will serve as evidence for the company that it holds your Personal Data.
In some cases, deleting your Personal Data is not a one-click process. In other cases, companies will reach out to you to further verify your identity or ask for additional information. To make the deletion process more comfortable, you can view the responses and reply to the companies directly from Mine’s app. We will access and reflect the relevant email thread to you in real-time. We don’t collect any of these email messages, your email messages remain in your own inbox.
We will never sell, trade or rent your Personal Data, for any purpose. We only share Personal Data with third parties in connection with the provision of the services to our users, for example, cloud environment, customer support, and web analytics. When you send a reclaim request to a certain company, we will share with that company the evidence to the fact that they hold your Personal Data. This evidence is the subject lines of the last three email messages that the company has sent. Please note that most likely that the company already has this information since it retains copies of the messages sent to you. We share this evidence only so the company can verify and fulfill your request faster.
We have built our technology infrastructure and AI on privacy-by-design principals that have gone through a strict external security assessment. We treat your Personal Data as we treat our own data – with great care. We invest resources, deploy measures, and follow procedures to provide a safe and secure environment for your Personal Data.
Mine collects personal and non-Personal Data. Let’s start by explaining important terminology:
Definitions:
"Personal Data" means information that identifies or can identify an individual, such as first and last name, email address, profile picture, unique online identifiers, etc.
"Non-Personal Data", means information, usually on an aggregated form, that cannot be linked to a single identifiable individual, taking in mind all means reasonably likely to be used by Mine or by any other person to identify that individual, directly or indirectly.
We process and collect Personal Data for the following purposes:
“Special Categories of Personal Data”, means any Personal Data constituting or revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data, data concerning a person's health, or data concerning a person’s sex life or sexual orientation. We do not intentionally collect any data which constitutes Special Categories of Personal Data and we urge you not to share with us any Personal Data of this type.
We collect non-personal data about the use of our website and the services, such as the scope of use, frequency, latency, pages accessed and viewed, interactions with content and materials displayed, and other technical information regarding the type of devices used to access our services.
Non-Personal Data is used mainly for clickstream analysis, to maintain and develop our website and services, to measure and understand the level of engagement with the services, for general business analytics for ensuring the technical functioning of our network, to help prevent fraudulent use of our services, to protect the website and our services from cyber threats and for developing new capabilities and features.

We make efforts to accommodate individuals’ rights under various laws and regulations. However, not all of them apply to us and to your use of our website and services.

If you contact us and request to exercise any of the rights detailed above, we may request that you provide us with certain information in order to verify your identity and locate your Personal Data.
We will make our best efforts to enable you to exercise your rights as soon as possible and no later than required under applicable laws, unless we need to extend such period, in accordance with applicable laws. In such a case, we will inform you about the extension period and explain the reasons for the delay.
We retain your Personal Data as long as you are a user of our services. When you decide to delete your account, or if we need to remove your account, we will delete your Personal Data from our databases within 30 days, following the termination of your Mine account or agreement with us, and within 60 days from all backups.
We may need to retain certain details for longer periods of time to comply with legal, tax, and accounting requirements, or if we believe that these details are necessary for current or expected legal proceedings. We make efforts to keep the retained data to the minimum necessary and for periods no longer than required.
Non-Personal Data, statistical, or anonymized data is retained by us without limitation of time.
We use physical, technical, and administrative security measures for the services that we believe comply with applicable laws and industry standards. These measures are designed to help us prevent your Personal Data from being accessed without proper authorization, improperly used or disclosed, unlawfully destructed, or accidentally lost.
Please bear in mind that the transmission of information via the internet cannot be 100% secure. As such, although we will do our best to protect your Personal Data, we, like anyone else, cannot fully guarantee the security of data transmitted via our website or our services.
If a data incident that involves your Personal Data occurs, we will take maximum efforts to contain the incident, minimize the risks to the extent possible and, if required by applicable laws, provide you with a notification about the incident.
We keep your Personal Data on servers located in the European Union. However, we use service providers, such as our customer support service, who need to use certain Personal Data to help us provide you with our services. They keep the data in other countries, as well, including in the United States.
When you send reclaim requests (right-to-be-forgotten) to certain companies, we will include within the request evidence that these companies hold your Personal Data (the subject line and metadata of the last 3 email messages that the company has sent you). That evidence is crucial to streamline your request and save you the trouble of back and forth messages with them.
These data transfers are necessary to perform our services to you, and to perform our contracts with third parties that serve your interest to receive an efficient platform for exercising your rights.
If laws that apply to the transfer of your Personal Data under this policy, require us to provide further details about the destination of your Personal Data and your consent to the transfer, then please note that these companies may keep their data in various countries and that the data protection rules may be different than those in your country of residence.
Your consent to this policy means that you also explicitly consent to such data transfer.
Our services are not intended for users under the age of 16. Children under the age of 16 are not permitted to use the Services nor provide us with any Personal Data without the consent of a parent or guardian.
