Security and data handling

What we store, who can open your boards, and how to take your work back. Legal text: privacy policy and terms.

How your data is handled

Available

Guest and account storage

Where your boards live depends on whether you are signed in.

  • Guest boards stay in this browser and are never sent to bakermind. Clearing site data removes them, so export what you want to keep.
  • Signed in, boards are stored in bakermind’s database (Supabase, served through Vercel). Each board belongs to one account, and database rules let you read, change and delete only your own.
Available

Access roles

Three ways to reach a board, and only one can edit.

  • Owner: the account that created the board can view, edit, share, export and delete it.
  • Link viewer: anyone with a public link can look, read-only, and cannot export.
  • Connected agent: acts with your permission (see below).
  • Members, comments and live presence are coming soon.
Beta

Public links and revoking them

A public link is view-only and you can turn it off at any time.

  • Turn on “Anyone with the link” in the Share dialog. The link is a long random token and never grants editing; it is only as private as the people you send it to.
  • Each board has one active link. Revoke it in the Share dialog and it stops opening the board straight away. A copy someone already saved stays saved.
  • Shared and embedded pages ask search engines not to index them.
Beta

Agent access and revoking it

An agent only gets in after you sign in and approve it.

  • The consent screen lists what you allow: read your boards, create new ones, and edit boards you can edit. Choose Allow access or Deny.
  • There is no page that lists connected tools yet. To stop an agent, remove the bakermind server in that agent’s own settings, or write to the privacy contact.
  • What an agent reads goes to that agent and its provider. See the questions below.
Available

Import and export

Your work can leave bakermind in open formats and come back in.

  • Export PNG, SVG, PDF, JSON, Mermaid or JSON Canvas, guest boards included.
  • Import a bakermind JSON, AI-generated JSON or JSON Canvas file up to 5 MB.
Available

Deletion and recovery

Deleting a board is recoverable for a while. Deleting an account is a request.

  • Deleted boards go to Trash and can be restored. Trash is emptied after 30 days, when you next open your boards.
  • To delete your account and its data, follow the privacy policy, which commits to acting within 30 days.

Questions

Does bakermind use AI on my boards?

There is no AI feature inside bakermind, and boards are not used to train AI models.

If you connect an external agent, it can read and edit what you allowed, and that content goes to the agent and its provider under their own terms. Do not assume a third-party agent processes nothing.

Who else handles my data?

Supabase for the database and sign-in, and Vercel for serving the app. Google, if you sign in with Google. Optional error reporting sends generic error details and never board content. The privacy policy has the full list.

Does bakermind hold certifications or make uptime, residency or encryption promises?

This page makes none. It only describes behavior that exists in the product today. For anything else, read the privacy policy and terms, which are the authoritative documents.

What happens to my guest boards if I sign in?

An empty account takes all of them. If the account already has boards, it keeps its boards and uploads only the guest boards you edited in this session. The local copy is cleared once uploaded.

Support and feedback

Signed-in users can use Send feedback in the account menu. It sends your message, an optional feeling and the page you were on to the bakermind team. There is no promised response time.

Helpful to include

  • What you were doing and what you expected to happen.
  • The board type (whiteboard, flowchart, mind map or sequence) and your browser and device.
  • Optionally, the build id you get by opening /api/version. It identifies which deployment of the app you are running.

Please leave out

  • Board content you do not want to share.
  • Passwords, tokens and share links.

Questions about your data or deleting your account go to banhmy.house@gmail.com, the contact in the privacy policy.

Service status

There is no public status page. If something seems wrong, try this first.

  • Refresh the page. bakermind prompts you to reload when a newer version is available.
  • Check your connection. Guest boards are saved in your browser and do not need one.
  • Export the board before you try anything drastic, so you hold a copy.
  • If it still fails, send feedback as described above.

Your boards, your call.

Export anything, any time.
