Summary

Mimik does not collect, transmit, or store any of your data on servers we control. There is no backend, no account system, no analytics, and no telemetry. Everything you record stays on your device.

What Mimik Stores Locally

While you use Mimik, the following is stored inside your browser via IndexedDB:

• Guides you create (titles, step descriptions, metadata)
• Screenshots captured during recording
• DOM replay data for the "Guide Me" feature
• Your extension settings (language preference, AI configuration, blur preferences)
• Your AI API key, if you configure one (see below)

This data never leaves your device. You can delete any guide, clear all data by uninstalling the extension, or clear browser storage manually at any time.

Optional AI Features

Mimik offers an optional AI feature to generate human-readable step descriptions and guide titles. Using it requires you to provide your own API key from OpenAI or Anthropic.

When you enable this feature:

• Your API key is stored locally in your browser. Mimik never reads, transmits, or relays it to us.
• Mimik sends a small amount of DOM context (~50–100 tokens of page structure — no screenshots) directly from your browser to the AI provider you selected (OpenAI or Anthropic), using your API key.
• The AI provider's own privacy policy governs how they handle those requests. See:
• OpenAI: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy
• Anthropic: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy

If you do not enable AI features, no network requests are made beyond what the browser itself does.

What Mimik Does Not Do

• Mimik does not have a backend server. There is no account to create, no login, no cloud sync.
• Mimik does not collect analytics, telemetry, crash reports, usage statistics, or any other identifying data.
• Mimik does not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties.
• Mimik does not use your data for advertising or profiling.
• Mimik does not read or transmit data from pages you visit unless you have explicitly started a recording session.
