Google Drive Privacy Policy

The MindGenius desktop app provides the ability to link to your Google Drive account and open, save and sync map files directly to your account. When selecting Google Drive, you will be directed to a login page. The username and password entered here go directly to Google and the app has no access to these details. The only thing MindGenius stores is a token for allowing access for files, no personal details are stored at our end. You will then be asked to give MindGenius permission to access your Google Drive account. This provides limited access to open and save files. You can use the logout option to sign out and delete the access token, and can also go directly to your Google account to revoke access to the app.

About FastSpring Security
FastSpring is regularly audited to ensure they are PCI Compliant. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of requirements designed to ensure that ALL companies that process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. This means there is no risk of your personal data or credit card information being stolen. Using your credit card through a FastSpring page is 100% safe. We do not store credit card numbers, so there is no chance of unauthorized access or the numbers being stolen after a FastSpring purchase is completed.

Verisign – For all purchases, FastSpring employs Verisign SSL Certificates that meet the highest standard in the Internet security industry for secure transations. An SSL Certificate establishes a private communication channel enabling encryption of the data during transmission. In addition, SSL Certificates allow Web browsers to clearly display a Web site’s organizational identity.

For MindGenius Online
Our site uses Stripe for Secure Credit Card Transactions for MindGenius Online. Stripe has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry.

HTTPS and HSTS for secure connections
Stripe forces HTTPS for all services using TLS (SSL), including their public website and the Dashboard.

  • Stripe.js is served only over TLS
  • Stripe’s official libraries connect to Stripe’s servers over TLS and verify TLS certificates on each connection

Encryption of sensitive data and communication
All card numbers are encrypted on disk with AES-256. Decryption keys are stored on separate machines. None of Stripe’s internal servers and daemons are able to obtain plaintext card numbers; instead, they can just request that cards be sent to a service provider on a static whitelist. Stripe’s infrastructure for storing, decrypting, and transmitting card numbers runs in separate hosting infrastructure, and doesn’t share any credentials with Stripe’s primary services (API, website, etc.).

MindGenius Ltd does not sell, trade or rent your personal information to others. Please be aware that if we are requested, by the police or any other regulatory or Government authority investigating suspected illegal activities, to provide your information and/or use your information, we are entitled to do so.
