Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026

Ounie (“we”, “us”) helps you build a private AI second brain. This policy explains what we collect and how we use it.

What we collect

  • Account data: your name, email, and (if you set one) username. If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your basic profile and email.
  • Content you add: the files, links, and notes you put into your brains, and the wiki pages and embeddings we derive from them.
  • Usage: questions you ask your brain and basic operational logs.

How we use it

We use your content solely to power your second brain — to extract text, synthesize wiki pages, build your knowledge graph, and answer your questions. Your private brains are visible only to you and the people you explicitly share them with. We never sell your data.

Third-party processors

To provide the service we use Neon (database), AWS S3 (file storage), and AI providers (for text extraction, synthesis, embeddings, and answering). Content is sent to these processors only as needed to run features you use.

Public brains

If you set a brain to public, its pages become readable by anyone with the link and may be indexed by search engines. You can make it private again at any time.

Your choices

You can delete any source, page, or entire brain at any time, which removes the associated data. To delete your account, contact us.

Browser extension

The Ounie Chrome extension has its own focused policy covering what it reads and sends — see the Extension Privacy Policy.
