Privacy Policy

Overview

At Mdream, we believe in privacy by design. We've built our desktop application to keep your data on your machine, under your control. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.

Desktop App Data

What the App Does

Mdream is a desktop application that monitors publicly available RSS feeds and community posts. The app:

• Fetches publicly available RSS feeds from platforms like Reddit, Hacker News, IndieHackers, ProductHunt, and others
• Stores all fetched data locally on your computer
• Processes and filters content based on your keyword settings
• Never transmits your leads, keywords, or settings to our servers

Data Stored Locally

The following data is stored on your device only:

• Your keyword clusters and monitoring settings
• Fetched RSS feed content (posts, comments, etc.)
• Your lead organization (tags, read/unread status, notes)
• Exported CSV files (when you choose to export)
• Application preferences and settings

Data We DO Collect

For the app to function, we collect minimal data:

• License Key: To verify your subscription status
• Email Address: Associated with your account for license management

AI Features (If Enabled)

If you use AI Insights features (Growth plan and above):
