Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-10-31
MiniWiki does its best to keep your information safe. Here is a plain explanation of what MiniWiki collects, how we use it, and how we delete it.
1.What MiniWiki collects
When you log in, we receive your email address. We use it to confirm that you are really you, and to contact you when your account truly needs it, such as a password reset, plus a one-time getting-started email when you sign up. However, if you did not agree to share your email or the permission is not available yet, as with Kakao or LINE, you can still sign up without an email.
What we receive per login method
- Google, X Your email, plus the name and profile photo Google or X shares.
- Kakao Your email, plus the nickname and profile photo Kakao shares.
- Apple Your email, plus the name Apple shares. If you pick “Hide My Email,” we receive a forwarding address that Apple creates instead of your real email. We do not store a profile photo. We also keep one token so we can disconnect from Apple when you later delete your account. We use that token only at deletion and delete it along with your account.
- LINE The name LINE shares. We receive your LINE email only after LINE grants the email permission, and we do not store your profile photo.
- Email sign-up Your email address and password.
What we receive as you use MiniWiki
- Things you write yourself What you write on MiniWiki, photos you upload, basic info (favorite things, what you are into lately, and so on), the name shown on your MiniWiki title and your username, short posts (posts you share in a category from the Feed, with up to one photo), comments you leave on sections of someone else’s page or on short posts, messages you send to friends, the records you keep in My Day, which only you can see, and your answers to Today’s question. In the basic info you can also type things that identify you, such as your birth date or the neighborhood you live in. What you put there is up to you, and leaving it out changes nothing about using MiniWiki. If a photo contains location data (GPS), we remove it before saving, so where it was taken is never kept.
- Your age, checked at sign-up Before you log in or sign up, we ask for the year and month you were born to check that you are old enough to sign up. That is 13 or older by default, or the higher sign-up age set by a country’s law or by MiniWiki. We decide which country applies from the country we can tell from your internet address when you connect, and we do not store that country. If you have already signed up, we ask once, the next time you log in. What we store is a single date worked out from your birth year (the day all age-based limits end for you), plus when and how we checked (you typed it, your device shared an age range, or both). Your birth month and the values you typed are used only for the calculation and are not stored. An age range shared by your device is used only for the check and is not stored either. Once you pass the check, we keep a note that says you passed in your browser or the app until you finish logging in, for 30 minutes at most. The note does not hold your birth year or month. It holds only the result of the check (the date your age-based limits end, whether you meet the basic minimum age, and which basic minimum age applied), locked so that only MiniWiki can open it, and we delete it as soon as you log in. So the same note cannot be used twice, we keep only a check value on MiniWiki’s servers for about a day, and it does not say whose it is. If you are under the minimum age, we do not create an account and store no age-related value on MiniWiki’s servers (for the note kept on your device, see “Cookies” below). If you log in with another service such as Google, an account is sometimes created before the age check is finished. If you are under the basic minimum age (13, or a higher age where the law sets one) in that case, we delete that account right away. If you are below only a higher age MiniWiki has set for a country, we do not delete that account right away, but you cannot finish signing up from that country. Only you can see this information. It is not shown to other people or to operators, and it is not sent to analytics tools.
- What you send in an appeal If the MiniWiki team hides your page, we receive the appeal you write to explain why it’s okay. The team uses it only to read it and decide again. You cannot attach photos or files.
- What you exchange through Help The questions you send through Help and the replies, any photo you attach yourself, the page you were on, and your browser and screen size info. We also keep when you last opened a conversation. We use it to show you that a new reply arrived, and the MiniWiki team uses it to see whether you have read their reply.
- What you send through the feedback button When you send feedback through the feedback button on the MiniWiki screen, we receive the message, any photo you attach yourself, the page you were on, and your browser and screen size info.
- Things we receive when you turn on notifications in the app When you turn on notifications in the MiniWiki app, we receive the number that tells us which device to send your notifications to, and which operating system that device runs. The notification delivery service creates this number fresh for each app install, so the number alone cannot tell who you are, and we do not receive your device model or phone number. If you turn on the daily reminder (a notification at a time you choose asking whether you want to answer Today’s question or write in My Day today), we receive whether it is on, the hour you picked, and the time zone name your device reports (for example Asia/Seoul) so we can work out what time it is for you. That is a region name, not a location or address. The reminder arrives only if you turned it on, and is skipped on days you have answered Today’s question and also written in My Day. If you get reminders but do not tap them and do not answer or write anything new, we slowly add more days before the next reminder. To decide this we keep when reminders were sent and how many, and when you last tapped one or wrote something new. This record does not include what you wrote.
- What you send when you suggest a category When you ask us to create a category MiniWiki does not have yet, we receive the name you suggested and, if you wrote one, your note on why it is needed. We also keep which page you suggested it from. Only the MiniWiki team sees it, and we use it only to decide whether to create that category.
- Things created while you use the service We receive your language setting, login method, the search site setting you turned on for each page, friendships, friend request messages, likes you give, records of mentioning friends in your writing, records of reporting or blocking someone, page visit history, share link view history, and the requests you send to the AI along with the results, usage, and progress.
- Feed settings We receive the choices you make in the Feed: the people and categories you chose not to see, the posts you marked “Not interested” (with markers that identify who wrote them, their category, and their title), the “Hide like count” and “Turn off comments” settings you turned on for each of your sections or short posts, the default setting that hides like counts on new posts from the start, and the people whose comments on your posts you set to not be shown to others. If you read someone else’s section and then write a section of your own, the “Wrote after reading” link keeps only which section is connected to which. It does not copy any name or text.
- Feed activity records To decide which posts to show in the Feed, we receive which posts you saw in the Feed, when you first saw them, how long you stayed, whether you read to the end, and whether you tapped “Show more”. We also count how many Feed posts we showed you each day. Instead of your account number, these records carry a marker made with a secret value that only MiniWiki’s servers know. They do not include your name or email, but it is possible to work out whose record it is by combining them with that separately protected secret value and with account information. We do not put location, device information, or IP addresses in these records. We collect the record of posts you saw from October 19, 2026; before then, our servers throw it away as soon as it arrives, even if the app sends it. The daily count of posts shown is an operating record that keeps the Feed from showing too much, so we count it even before then.
- Section feed records To decide whether to show one of your sections in the Feed that day, we keep the day you edited it, how many new characters and words you wrote, what kind of edit it was (a new section or added text), which default title it uses if it uses one the app provides, and a marker that identifies the edited section. We do not copy the section text itself.
- Where you sent a friend request from We keep whether you sent a friend request from the Feed, a Feed notification, a category screen, or search, and who sent it to whom. We use this to see whether the Feed helps people connect as friends.
- Keeping a shared link through signup If you install the app and sign up from a shared link, we carry over the page link and share code so you can open the same page. When you install the app from Google Play, we send the page address, share code, and how you got there to Google Play as installation information, and read it back after installation. When you install it from the App Store, we read a link you copied only when you use the “Paste” button. We do not read your clipboard automatically.
- Records that count interest searches When you are logged in and a search term you typed yourself matches one of the interest words MiniWiki has set (for example, “cat” or “baseball”), we count how many people searched for that word that day. Extra spaces at the start or end and upper or lower case in English letters are ignored. If the same person searches for the same word several times on the same day, it counts once, and searches started by tapping a suggested search term are not counted. For this count we store the interest word’s number, the date in Korea time, and a marker used so the same person is not counted twice, instead of the search term you typed. We do not store your account number as-is: it is turned into a marker that is different for each date and word. Search terms that are not on the list are not stored in this count.
- Things that accumulate automatically Usage and access logs, plus the kind of device you used that day (phone or PC) and, for phones, which operating system it runs. For devices we keep only those two and the date, never detailed information such as the device model. In share link access logs, and in the records we keep to stop logged-out visitors from searching too often, we do not store the IP address as-is: we keep only part of a marker made from it with a secret value that only MiniWiki’s servers know. The same goes for the records we keep to stop logged-out visitors from tapping “Browse at random” too often. Share link access logs also keep the IP address range with its last part removed.
- Analytics data To see where people get stuck, we receive usage data such as when you viewed or clicked a page and which theme you picked. We do not receive page text, AI conversations, or what you wrote in the basic info. Records that pile up after you log in carry a random number tied to your account. We do not send your name or email with them, but they are linked together as one person. While you browse MiniWiki logged out, and while you create your first page right after signing up, we also briefly record screen activity (clicks and scrolling) to see where people get stuck. What you write, what you type, and your name are masked and never kept. After you create your first page, we do not record during normal logged-in use or while you work on private pages.
- Measurement records while new members make their first page We want to see whether features such as story cards help people fill their first page. For new members, for about a week after signup we keep when a section on their main page was first filled and when its visibility was first changed, the number of filled sections and basic info fields, which kinds of sections you filled (for example, Taste), which length range each section falls in (for example, 20 to 49 characters), and the visibility at that time. We do not keep the text, titles, or what is written in the basic info.
- When you send a report or removal request without logging in On the Report or request removal page, anyone can send a request, even without a MiniWiki account. We receive the kind of problem, the address or username of the page, a short description (if you write one), and an email for our reply so we can tell you the result (for child sexual abuse reports, the email is optional). When you ask us to remove a sexual photo or video posted without consent, we also receive whether you are the person shown or acting on their behalf and the name you type as a signature, because the law requires this statement. We use this only to handle your request and tell you the result. The records we keep to stop too many requests do not store your IP address as is: we keep only a marker made with a secret value known only to the MiniWiki server, for one day.
Some information about you may come from someone other than you. For example, a post, comment, message, or report written by someone else may mention you, or a login company such as Google or Kakao may tell us your email address and name. Information like this is also used only for the purposes and in the ways described in this policy, and you can ask to see, correct, or delete it as described in “Your rights over your data” below.
We never ask for these, and we never built the fields to receive them. What you type into your own page yourself is saved exactly as you wrote it, and a copyright infringement notice or counter-notice may need your name, address, and phone number.
2.What MiniWiki uses your data for
We use what we receive only to show you the service, verify your account, send account-critical notices and a welcome email, send the notifications you turned on in the app, display the MiniWiki you made, help the AI write, check and improve how well the AI writes, and stop abuse. We also use it for friend suggestions, home recommendations, choosing search terms, picking posts for the Feed, and translating posts and comments so people who use another language can read them, as explained below. We never sell it to other companies or hand it over for advertising.
The age we check at sign-up is used only to decide whether you can sign up and to limit features by age. For example, showing a page on search sites can be turned on only by people whose birth year makes it certain they are 21 or older, which means from January 1 of the year they turn 22. Some countries treat age as information that needs special care (sensitive information). So we use your birth year and month only to check your age, and we do not store them. We keep only what is described in “Your age, checked at sign-up” above. For people who live in such a country, we handle age information under the protection standards set by that country’s law.
If you come in through a shared link, we use it for friend suggestions. When you open someone’s shared link while logged in, or sign up through that link, we keep a record that you came through that person’s link. This works the same for links to friends-only pages and public pages. With this record we show the person who shared the link in your friend suggestions, and we may also show your name and username (and your main page photo, if that page is friends-only or public and has a photo) in that person’s friend suggestions. You may appear there even if your page is private. You appear mixed in with other suggestions, and we do not show how you came to be suggested. We do not tell the person who shared the link who opened it, as a list or a notification. From that suggestion they can send you a friend request, even if your page is private. Even then they cannot see the content of your private page, and to accept the request you first need to open a page to friends-only or public. You can decline it without opening a page.
The record has no time limit and is deleted when you or the person who shared the link deletes their account. They won’t appear in your suggestions if you tap “Hide” on them in your friend suggestions, or if they turned on the Hide me from “Suggested friends” setting. If you turn on that setting yourself, you won’t appear in the friend suggestions of the person who shared the link either. That setting applies only to friend suggestions, so the friend request button next to a writer’s face in the Feed still shows regardless of it.
We use it to pick posts for the Feed and their order. The app Feed shows friends’ sections, sections from public pages the MiniWiki team approved as recommendation candidates, and short posts. Which posts to show and in what order is decided from Feed activity records (whether many people read a post to the end, whether you already saw it today), what you marked “Not interested” or chose not to see, friendships, whether a post shares your category or section title, and the post’s language. We also look at how much of a section was kept as the AI drafted it, but for now we do not use it for ordering. We keep the result only as one of a few levels per section, never gather it per person, and show it to no one. Feed activity records are not shown to anyone as numbers either, and the MiniWiki team sees only totals by date and post type.
Choosing and ordering posts automatically by a program, based on activity records like this, is called personalized recommendation. For people who may be under 18 based on the age checked at sign-up, we do not use a personalized order based on activity records. In the Feed, you can tap “Not interested” on a post or choose not to see a person or category. The “Friends” tab in the Feed shows your friends’ posts newest first, without a personalized order.
We use it to pick “Miniwikis lately” and “Popular searches”. For the recommendations on the app home, we use how much is written on public pages approved as recommendation candidates, when they were last edited, and recent records of logged-in people visiting them. Visits from people who visited too many candidate pages do not count toward a page’s visit score. Visits to your own page are left out. Pages being introduced for the first time and pages picked by the MiniWiki team are shown alongside them. The app’s Explore screen shows interest words picked with the help of the search counts, together with words picked from the list of interests that have enough search results. Each person’s own visit and search history is not shown on the home or Explore screens, or on the screen where the MiniWiki team sees recommendation counts.
To stop abuse and run the service well, the MiniWiki team can see only that a page exists and its outward details, even for private pages: the page title, the name and username shown on it, its visibility, whether it is finished, how many pages there are, when it was last edited, and when a share link was created. For private and friends-only pages, the text, photos, and what you wrote in the basic info are locked away by our permission system, so not even the MiniWiki team can see them on its admin screens. The same goes for messages you send to friends and friend request messages: they cannot be seen on the admin screens either. In the cases below, however, the team does review the content. If the person who received a message reports it, the team reviews only that message’s text to handle the report. If someone reports a comment left on a section, the team reviews that comment and who wrote it in order to handle the report (including comments on friends-only pages). The same goes for reports about short posts and their comments. And if you appeal after the team hides a public page, the team can see that page’s text and photos again, but only while reviewing your appeal. This is still true even if you switch the page to private in the meantime, and once the review ends the team cannot see it again. If the team hid a private or friends-only page, it does not open the page’s text and photos even when you appeal: it decides again from what was reported or sent through Help, together with the outward details listed above.
An exception for report and removal requests.When the team hides a page after a report such as a sexual image posted without consent or child sexual abuse material, we make fingerprints (hashes) of that page's photos and add them to a block list so the same photos are not posted again. This is done by machine only; no person looks at the photos. After that, photos uploaded to MiniWiki are only compared with the block list by machine, and the values used for the comparison are not saved. For child sexual abuse reports, we copy that page's text and photos to a separate store that no one can open from our operator screens, to report it to the authorities and keep the evidence, and delete the copy after one year.
When the team sees short posts and comments. While a short post (a post you share in a category from the Feed) or comment is waiting for the automatic check (see “AI writing help and where your data goes”) or has been flagged by it, the team can read its text and the writer’s username to confirm whether it is okay and make it visible again. The team cannot read deleted posts and comments, or posts and comments written while the writer’s main page is private. If a post or comment is written in a language the team cannot read, the team can send its text to the same Anthropic servers to translate it into a language they can read, to check it. We do not save this translation.
How much the team sees of sections in the Feed. When the team looks over sections that appeared in the Feed, it sees the title, part of the text, and the writer’s username only for public sections the MiniWiki team approved as recommendation candidates, and only the number per day for friends-only sections.
Help works differently. A question you send through Help is a conversation addressed to the MiniWiki team, so the team can see the message, any photo you attach, and the replies. We use it to answer you and fix the problem. We also gather part of what you wrote in Help and feedback into a daily internal report, so we can see what keeps tripping people up: we leave out names and usernames, mask contact details, have the AI summarize it, and email it to the MiniWiki team (see “Where your data goes” below, under Anthropic and Resend). We never use it for advertising or hand it to other companies. It is best not to write anything in Help that you would not want the MiniWiki team to read.
Contact details in copyright notices and counter notices. When we receive a copyright infringement notice or a counter notice, we use the name, address, phone number, and email in it to handle it, and we may forward them to the other party (the person who posted the material, or the person who sent the notice) under the process set by the US copyright law (DMCA). We also use them to decide whether the same account repeatedly infringes and to prepare for any dispute that may come from it, and for nothing else (see the Copyright Infringement Notice page).
3.AI writing help and where your data goes
When you write together with the AI or ask the AI for a draft, we send the exchanged content to the servers of Anthropic, the maker of Claude, so the AI can respond. On the web home, to prepare in advance the first question the AI asks when it opens a section chat, we may send the title, text, and footnotes of sections shown on screen that already have text or that you named yourself, along with the page’s basic info, categories, and parts of other sections (as when you open a chat), to the same Anthropic servers, even before you open the chat. The same goes when you chat with the AI or draft a record in My Day. To show them to people who use another language, we also send page content and the text of section posts and short posts in the Feed to the same Anthropic servers to translate it. Feed posts may be translated in advance, before that person reads them. Short posts may be translated in advance even before anyone reads them in that language. When someone who uses another language presses “Show translation” on a comment, we send just that one comment to translate it. The same goes for comments still waiting for the automatic check. However, comments written by an account we have stopped because it was confirmed to belong to someone under the minimum age are not sent for translation. We save the finished translation and reuse it, so the next reader of the same language does not have to wait. Only people who can see the original post or comment can see the translation. Section posts on friends-only pages and comments visible only to friends are also translated, when we are about to show them to a friend who can see them. Also, to keep MiniWiki safe for everyone, we regularly send the text and basic info of public pages to the same Anthropic servers to automatically check for potentially problematic content. Private and friends-only pages are not part of this automatic check. Short posts (posts you share in a category from the Feed) are checked the same way as soon as you write or edit them, and comments on short posts are checked after you leave them, using only the text of that post or comment. Comments on public page sections are checked the same way once MiniWiki changes the rule that showed section comments only to friends. Private and friends-only pages, and comments left on them, are not part of the automatic check. To run the service we also use Supabase for data storage and Vercel for servers; their servers are located overseas, including in Singapore. We use PostHog for analytics on where people get stuck and to find and fix errors; its servers are in Germany.

In the MiniWiki app there is no screen recording or automatic click capture. Instead the app sends when it was opened and closed, which screens you opened (only the kind of screen; values such as page IDs, usernames, and search terms are left out), whether you did certain actions MiniWiki has chosen in advance, such as logging in, signing up, saving, sharing, sending friend requests, or using the rating prompt, and how they turned out, error details, and the device model, OS version, app version, screen size, language, and time zone. On both the web and the app, when you are logged in we also send your member ID (a number given to each account, not your name or email) so we can connect records from the same person

Sharing required by lawIf we receive a report about child sexual exploitation material or a request from an investigating authority, we may also report or share related information with the relevant authorities as the law requires (for example, the U.S. National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) or the Philippine Department of Justice), in addition to the companies in the table above (see “How long MiniWiki keeps your data” below).
When and how it is sent When you use AI writing help or My Day AI, the exchanged content and the text it refers to are sent over the internet at that moment. When we prepare the first question of a section chat in advance on the web home, that section’s title, text, and footnotes, along with the page’s basic info, categories, and parts of other sections, are sent the same way. When a page or Feed post is shown in another language (for Feed posts, also when we translate them in advance), the content being translated is sent the same way, and when someone presses “Show translation” on a comment, that comment’s text is sent at that moment. Because anyone can read a public page, we send it regularly whenever its content changes to check for anything problematic, such as harassment or bullying, nudity or sexual content, threats or violence, private information, or spam. The AI does the checking, not a person reading through your page one line at a time, and if nothing looks wrong we keep only the time of the check, not the text. Short posts are sent each time you write or edit them, and comments on public page sections and on short posts each time you leave them, with only that text and never the photo, category name, or writer. A newly posted short post is visible only to you until the check finishes (for an edited post, the earlier version stays visible or it is taken down for a while until the check finishes), and a short post or comment flagged by the check stays hidden from others until the MiniWiki team reviews it. Storage and servers are used the whole time you use MiniWiki. Data goes to the other companies in the table when you use the feature each one handles (for example, when you log in, when we send a notification, or when you tap a share button). Whichever company it goes to, we send it over an encrypted connection (HTTPS).
Why we send it AI writing help and My Day AI are features you ask for, so we send what is needed to provide them (that is, to carry out our agreement with you for using MiniWiki). We send text for translation because it is needed to show MiniWiki posts to people who use another language (that is, to carry out our agreement with you for using MiniWiki).
How to refuse If you do not want your data to go to the companies in the table above, you can refuse at any time.
- How Stop using or turn off the feature that company handles. If you do not use AI help or My Day AI, no conversation is sent to Anthropic. If you turn off “Let AI refer to this” on a My Day record, that record is not sent as a reference. If you turn off app notifications, we stop sending to the companies that deliver them, and the daily reminder can be turned off separately inside the app. If you do not press the KakaoTalk share button, nothing is sent to Kakao, and if you do not use Instagram story sharing, nothing is sent to Meta. If you keep your pages private or friends-only, they stay out of the automatic check. Short posts and comments on public pages can be seen by everyone, so their check cannot be turned off; if you do not want them sent, do not write them. Translation of Feed posts and comments is also there so people who use another language can read them, so it cannot be turned off separately; if you do not want them sent, do not write them. Translation of Feed posts and comments never sends section posts on private pages or comments left on them, but unlike the automatic check, posts and comments on friends-only pages can be sent. For services with no per-person off switch, such as analytics, login, and operations alerts, the only way to refuse is to delete your account. For anything you cannot stop by turning a feature off, email help@mini.wiki.
- Procedure Once you turn a feature off, we stop sending from then on. If you email us, MiniWiki will look into it and reply with how we handled it.
- What happens if you refuse You cannot use the feature that company handles. Without AI help you can still make your MiniWiki by filling an empty page yourself, and you can still write in My Day yourself. Storage and servers (Supabase, Vercel), however, are essential to the service, so if you refuse those too, you cannot keep using MiniWiki and will need to delete your account.
By company policy, Anthropic does not use what it receives to train AI models. MiniWiki uses that content to create your page (your writing) and to translate it for people who use another language.
4.How long MiniWiki keeps your data
My Day, which only you can see We keep the date, title, text, footnotes, and photos of the records you keep in My Day, along with their “Let AI refer to this” setting, your daily reminder settings (whether it is on, the hour, and the time zone name), and the record that sets reminder spacing (when reminders were sent and how many, and when you last tapped one or wrote something new). Reminder settings and the reminder spacing record are no longer used once you turn the reminder off, and are deleted with your account when you delete it. Text you write in a record is saved automatically as you write. Picking a date and leaving creates an empty record for that date. Only you can view them, regardless of your wiki’s visibility. The MiniWiki team sees only how many people wrote records on each date, and cannot see who wrote what. When you chat with the AI or draft a record in My Day, we also send Anthropic the date and text of your records from other days that have “Let AI refer to this” turned on, as a reference. When you add to an existing record, we also send that record’s text. When you chat, we also send the basic info, categories, section titles, and part of the section text of your main page. Photos are never sent to AI. MiniWiki does not store the conversations you have with the AI in My Day on its servers, and does not store a record draft the AI makes until you put it into your record. We count how many times you used My Day AI only for that day, to keep the daily limit (shared with wiki AI), and delete the count within the next day. We count it under a temporary ID that changes every day instead of your account number. MiniWiki makes this ID with a secret value only it knows, so on that day MiniWiki can tell whose count it is. From now on we keep no My Day AI usage records or error records, and our analytics records no longer show whether you chatted with the AI in My Day. However, the daily usage counts and usage records that built up together with wiki AI before October 31, 2026 remain until you delete your account. They contain no conversation content. We delete the copy of a record’s earlier content without delay once we no longer need it. Copies can remain for a while in the backups we keep for outages. Deleting a record immediately hides it and excludes it from AI reference. You can undo a deletion for a short time right after it; after that, scheduled cleanup removes the record and its photos. If you take a photo out of a record, we delete that photo 24 hours later. From then on, not even you can open it. If you put it back within 24 hours, the photo stays.
- When you delete your account, we delete everything: your MiniWiki (all pages and photos), My Day records and photos, your account data, and the edit history of who changed what and when. We also delete your Feed activity records, Feed settings, and where you sent friend requests from. Once deleted, it cannot be undone. There are four exceptions, spelled out below (analytics usage records, the records we keep to check AI writing, Feed view totals combined per post, and holding your old username for 30 days).
- When you delete your account or change your username, we keep only the letters of your old username for 30 days so that nobody else can take it right away. If you deleted your account, we do not keep whose username it was. If you changed your username, we link it to your account for those 30 days so you can switch back, and we do not write down your new username with it. After 30 days we delete it.
- One exception: the usage records we keep to see where people get stuck are not deleted when you delete your account. They stay for up to 7 years under the retention policy of the company we entrust with analytics. What we do delete at that point is the profile attached to those records (things like how you first found MiniWiki when you signed up). If you want the remaining records deleted too, email us using the address in “Your rights over your data” below.
- In the age check record, the date when age-based limits end is deleted once that day has passed, and the time and method of the check are deleted when you delete your account. If someone who has already signed up turns out to be under the basic minimum age, we stop the account from being used and delete it after 30 days. During those 30 days we make all of your pages private so that only you can see them, and we write down what each page was set to before. You can also delete the account yourself right away before then, and if you entered your age by mistake, tell us at the email given under “Your rights over your data” below. Once your age is corrected, we put your pages back to what they were set to and delete that note. A page that dropped out of “Browse at random” suggestions, or a section record that had appeared in the Feed, does not come back, though.
- If your device tells us “a law requiring an age check applies to this account” and the check shows you are under 18, an account that already exists is not deleted. Instead we stop it from being used until we have a way for a parent or guardian to give consent. In that case we do not keep an age check record, and we ask again once that way is ready.
- If an account created after we started age checks still has not told us its age after 30 days, we delete that account.
- When we delete an account because the person is under the minimum age, right away or after 30 days, we delete it the same way as when you delete your own account. In this case we also ask the company we entrust with analytics to delete the analytics usage records above. However, the security access logs kept by the company we entrust with login may remain under that company’s retention policy.
- Conversations with the AI themselves are used only while generating an answer and are not stored separately on MiniWiki servers. However, when you ask the AI to write something for your page, we save the conversation you have had up to that point along with that request. We delete that request (including your conversation with the AI) and the drafts the AI made 7 days after they are made. This is the same whether or not you added a draft to your page. So an AI draft you did not add to your page disappears after 7 days, and you can no longer add it to your page. Text you added to your page is your own writing, so it stays until you delete it, whatever this time limit. If you delete your account before the 7 days pass, we delete them right away. We may also prepare and save in advance the first question the AI asks when it opens a section chat. We stop using that question and delete it soon after 7 days pass since it was made or after you edit that section’s text. If you delete the page or your account, we delete it right away. The usage records that count how many times you used AI each day and how much each AI model was used contain no conversation content, and we keep them until you delete your account.
- Records we keep to check how well AI writing works contain no text. We never keep the words of the conversation or the draft. We write them down as numbers and as options MiniWiki set in advance. Here are some examples. As results, we note the date, whether a draft was made, whether it was added to your page, and whether it was edited afterward, and which AI settings, language, app (web, or the app for each operating system), and app version were used. From the conversation, we count numbers that show its length and flow, such as how many questions and answers there were and how many characters your answers had. From the draft, we count numbers such as how long the draft was and how long it took to make. If you choose what a subpage is about, we note the option you picked (a preset option) and whether you typed your own answer instead, and for a name you typed we count only its characters. We use these records only to check and improve AI writing. While you use MiniWiki, they are tied to your account. We delete them 180 days after they are made. When you delete your account, we change these records so no one can tell they were yours, so they may remain for up to 180 days after you leave.
- What can remain after MiniWiki deletes it The AI company Anthropic keeps what it receives and the answers it makes for the period set in its own policy, then deletes them. Conversations flagged for breaking Anthropic’s usage policy, or cases where the law requires it, may be kept longer. MiniWiki’s server access logs record which feature was called and when (the request path and time), not the conversation. The error records we keep when the AI could not make an answer do not include the conversation text. However, wiki AI error records made before October 31, 2026 may include some conversation content, and they are deleted under the retention policies of the companies we use for servers and analytics. Copies can also remain for a while in the backups we keep for outages. If we ever restore a backup, we delete conversations and drafts past their retention period again without delay.
- We make Instagram story cards by selecting existing page text using fixed rules, without sending text to an AI company for the card. The image stops being usable after 10 minutes, and our cleanup soon deletes it from our server. Changing the page’s content, name, or visibility, or deleting the page, removes it immediately. A card image you saved to your device or sent to another app stays there regardless of what we keep or delete on our server, so delete it yourself if you no longer need it. When you leave sections or basic info out of the card, we only record which ones they are, not their names or what they say. We stop using this record when you delete the page, and delete it when you delete your account.
- Page translations shown when someone opens a page in another language are deleted when you delete your account or when the original page is permanently deleted, and once you edit the content, the old translation is no longer used.
- Translations of Feed posts and comments, and the name lists we take from a page to keep how names are written consistent when translating, are kept only while the original post or comment is visible to others. When they are no longer needed, such as when the original is edited, deleted, hidden, or made private, we delete them without delay. They are also deleted when you delete your account.
- To enforce the daily limit on “Show translation”, we keep only the number of new translations you made with “Show translation” that day, for two days.
- Only when the automatic check spots something potentially problematic on a public page do we briefly keep the passage it flagged (up to 500 characters), so it is clear which part was caught. We never keep a separate copy of the whole page. Once the MiniWiki team finishes reviewing, we delete that passage right away, and we delete ordinary check records 90 days after the review. For pages where nothing looked problematic we create neither that passage nor a check record, and keep only the time of the check.
- When we hide a public page, we keep a copy of the page as it was at that moment for a short time so we can review an appeal later. Only we can see that copy, and only while an appeal is being reviewed; we delete it as soon as we decide. If no appeal arrives, we delete it after 90 days. If an appeal arrives but the decision takes long, we delete it no later than 90 days after the appeal was sent. If you delete the page, the copy and the appeal go with it. When we hide a private or friends-only page, we do not make that copy at all. We keep the appeal you wrote, because you wrote it, and we delete the note we left about our decision after 90 days.
- In the MiniWiki team’s action log (audit record) of hiding or restoring a page, message, short post, or comment, the reason text written in that log is cleared after 1 year. Who did what and when stays. This log is a separate record from the review notes on appeals.
- Help conversations are deleted along with your account when you delete it. You can delete your own messages inside a conversation, in which case the content disappears and only the trace of the deletion remains. When the MiniWiki team edits a reply, we keep a record of that edit, used only to verify that your question was handled properly. We also delete the feedback and photos you send through the feedback button when you delete your account.
- Records we keep to see whether translation worked contain no page text, only an identifier for the page, the language, and whether it succeeded, and they are deleted after 180 days. They contain no name or email, but they do keep a marker pointing to the page, and they may remain for that period even after you delete the page or your account. Records of Feed post and comment translations do not even keep an identifier for the post; they keep only the type of post, the language, whether it succeeded, how long it took, the AI model and usage, and a length range. These records are also deleted after 180 days and may remain for that period even after the post or account is deleted.
- We keep the device number used to send app notifications only while you have notifications turned on. We delete it as soon as you turn notifications off or log out, and we delete numbers that no longer reach a device, such as when you delete the app, as soon as we notice. When you delete your account, it is deleted along with it.
- Category suggestions are deleted along with your account when you delete it. The record of how the MiniWiki team handled a suggestion does keep the suggested category name, but it never says who suggested it.
- The marker used so the same search is not counted twice is deleted when the day after the search day (Korea time) ends. After that, only the totals per word and per date remain, and those totals are kept for 1 year and then deleted. The marker has no account number, so it is not linked to deleting your account, and even if you delete your account it is deleted once the period above passes. Although the marker itself has no account number, it may be possible to work out whose record it is by combining it with information MiniWiki keeps separately protected and with account information.
- We keep short posts and their comments until you delete them or delete your account. Copies of earlier versions from before an edit, and deleted posts and comments, are deleted without delay once they are no longer needed. The record of only who did what and when (writing, editing, deleting, and the like) stays even after the post is deleted, until the writer deletes their account. Likes you gave to a short post or a comment on one and then took back stay recorded until that post or comment is deleted. Short post photos are deleted by a cleanup job when the post is deleted or you delete your account.
- We delete Feed activity records and the daily count of posts shown without delay once they are no longer needed. Daily totals combined per post (how many people saw it and read it to the end) are also deleted without delay once they are no longer needed, and are deleted along with the post or when its writer deletes their account. These totals do not record who saw the post, so even if you delete your account, your share cannot be taken back out of totals already combined (one of the four things above that remain after you delete your account). Feed activity records kept per person, and the daily count of posts shown, are deleted without delay when you delete your account.
- We delete section feed records without delay once they are no longer needed, and right away if you delete that page or set it to private. If you delete only the section, they are deleted without delay in the next cleanup run.
- We delete records of posts you marked Not interested in the Feed without delay once they are no longer needed. The people and categories you chose not to see, the settings you turned on for each section or short post, and the people whose comments you set to not be shown to others are kept until you undo them or delete your account.
- For where you sent a friend request from, once the request ends (accepted, declined, canceled, or blocked) we delete who sent it to whom without delay once it is no longer needed, and keep only how many there were by date and by where they were sent from. These totals contain nothing that identifies a person, so we keep them, even after you delete your account. The record of friend requests themselves remains separately as part of friendships under “Things created while you use the service” above.
- A “Wrote after reading” link is deleted when either of the two connected sections or its page is deleted, when the writer or the original writer removes the line, or when either of them deletes their account. However, if the original writer removes the line, we keep only which section had whom removed, so the person who wrote after reading cannot link the line to the same section again. Nobody can see this record on screen, and it is deleted when that section disappears from the page, when the page is permanently deleted, or when either of them deletes their account.
- Your answers to Today’s question can be seen only by you, and we keep them until you delete them or delete your account. When you delete an answer we delete it right away so it cannot be restored, and we do not keep earlier versions when you edit. The MiniWiki team sees only how many people answered on each date and for each question, and cannot see the answers. Answers are not sent to the AI. Copies can remain for a while in the backups we keep for outages.
- Measurement records while new members make their first page are deleted 120 days after signup. They are also deleted when you delete your account, and if you ask at help@mini.wiki we delete them and do not collect them again.
- Friend suggestion notification records So we never send a notification suggesting the same person twice, we keep who was suggested to whom in a notification until either of them deletes their account. How the suggestion came about (for example, a shared link) is deleted after 90 days.
- Report or removal requestsWe delete the reply email, the name typed as a signature, the description, the page address or username, and our team's handling note one year after we handle the request (or after we receive it, if it was never handled). We keep the kind of request and when we received and how we handled it. The records we keep to stop too many requests are deleted after one day. Evidence we copy for a child sexual abuse report is deleted after one year. We review the block list of photo fingerprints (hashes) every year and remove entries we no longer need.
- The records that count “Browse at random” by logged-out visitors are deleted without delay once they are no longer needed.
- Emails we receive as copyright infringement notices and counter notices, and our records of handling them, are kept while we handle the notice and prepare for any dispute that may come from it, and are deleted without delay once no longer needed.
- If the law requires us to keep certain data, we keep it only for that period and then delete it.
- If we receive a report about child sexual exploitation material or a request from an investigating authority, we may keep the related account information, access records, and that material for the period set by the applicable law. In that case, separately from the deletion exceptions above, it may remain for that period even if you delete your account or your posts. We may also report it to or share it with the relevant authorities as the law requires (for example, the U.S. National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) or the Philippine Department of Justice).
- When we delete something, we make sure it cannot be recovered. Once the retention period ends or there is no longer a reason to hold data, we delete it without delay. Data stored on computers is erased in a way that cannot be brought back, and anything printed on paper is shredded or burned. Copies can remain for a while in the backups we keep for outages, and we use them for nothing else while they are there.
5.Your rights over your data
- You can view and edit your info (name, username) and everything you wrote directly inside MiniWiki.
- You can delete the pages you made, and to stop using MiniWiki you can delete your account in account settings. Leaving also deletes your AI requests, results, and usage records. Only the records we keep to check how well AI writing works stay for up to 180 days, changed so no one can tell they were yours (see “How long MiniWiki keeps your data” above).
- To delete only your AI request and result records, or to ask us to stop using your data, contact help@mini.wiki.
- To have your collected analytics records deleted, contact help@mini.wiki.
- You always decide who sees your page, and every page starts private. You can change the visibility whenever you like, and a page you opened up to public or friends can always be set back to private.
- Anyone logged in can see short posts and their comments. You do not pick a visibility for short posts (posts you share in a category from the Feed) or the comments on them; anyone logged in can see them. A photo in a short post is shown the same way as the post. Even if you change your page to friends only, your short posts and comments stay public, and the screen does not tell you about it separately. If you set your main page to private, your short posts stop being visible to others, and they come back when you open it again. If you remove a category from your main page, the posts you wrote in that category also stop being visible to others, and they come back when you add the category again. Comments you left on other people’s posts stay with your name and username even if you set your main page to private, so if you would rather not, delete them from your activity history in the app. Once MiniWiki changes the rule that showed section comments only to friends, comments you leave on sections of public pages after that can also be seen by anyone logged in. Comments left before the change are still seen only by the page owner, MiniWiki friends, and the person who wrote them.
- Friends-only has one exception, for a single photo. Your writing and other photos stay visible to MiniWiki friends only, but the one photo in your main page’s basic info appears to other logged-in people as a round profile picture, so they can recognize you and find friends. This photo also appears next to your short posts in the Feed and category screens. On comments left on short posts, the writer’s photo is shown to everyone who is logged in. It also appears next to comments you leave on sections, but for comments left before MiniWiki changed the rule that showed section comments only to friends, it is still shown only to the writer, the page owner, and the writer’s MiniWiki friends. People who are not logged in do not see it. If you would rather not, delete that photo or set the page to private.
- Public pages can appear in recommendations inside MiniWiki. Your page may show up where MiniWiki picks pages to show, such as “Browse at random” or “Miniwikis lately”. In the app Feed, sections of public pages the MiniWiki team approved as recommendation candidates can also be seen by people who do not know you, and tapping “Show more” shows the whole section. Sections of friends-only pages appear only in your MiniWiki friends’ Feed. We do not notify you when a section first appears in the Feed. Search sites are still blocked. If you would rather not, set the page to friends only or private.
- A section you wrote after reading someone else’s gets a “Wrote after reading” line. If you read a public section in the Feed and then write a section in your own MiniWiki, a line saying you wrote it after reading that person’s post appears above your section for others too, and the person who wrote the original gets a notification. We do not add this line when the original is on a friends-only page. You can turn it off before you write, and afterwards both you and the original writer can remove the line at any time.
- How to ask To see (access), correct, or delete your data, ask us to stop using it, or withdraw consent you gave, email help@mini.wiki. If the law where you live also gives you the right to receive a copy of your data or move it elsewhere, you can ask for that too. You can also ask through a parent, legal guardian, or someone you authorize.
- What happens next We first check that the request really comes from you. Emailing from the address you signed up with makes this faster. We then handle it within the time the law where you live requires and tell you the result. Requests are free as a rule. Only where the law allows a fee will we tell you the needed cost in advance. Where the law allows, we may be unable to meet all or part of a request, and if so we will tell you why.
If you live outside Korea
MiniWiki is run by a Korean company and follows Korea’s Personal Information Protection Act. If you live in another country, its privacy laws may also apply to you. For people who live in that country, we respect the rights its law guarantees.
Data sent to other countries When you use MiniWiki, your data is transferred to and processed in the countries listed in ‘Where your data goes’ above (Korea, Singapore, the United States, Germany, and Japan). Privacy laws differ by country, and some of these may offer less protection than where you live. You can read about each country’s system in the overview of foreign privacy laws published by Japan’s Personal Information Protection Commission (in Japanese).
Things about your health MiniWiki has no field that asks for health information. Still, what you write, your conversations with the AI, and My Day may include things about your physical or mental health. We use it only for what is listed in “What MiniWiki uses your data for” above, and we never sell it or use it for ads. If the law where you live sets its own rules for handling and deleting health information, or gives you more rights over it (for example, Washington State in the US), we follow those rules, and you can use those rights in the way described in “How to ask” above.
6.How MiniWiki keeps your data safe
We store passwords encrypted so that even MiniWiki cannot see the original, and we record the IPs in share link access logs and logged-out search and random browsing records not as-is but as a marker made with a secret value that only MiniWiki’s servers know (share link access logs also keep the IP address range with its last part removed). Feed activity records carry a marker made with a secret value that only MiniWiki’s servers know, instead of your account number. We block private data from anyone without permission. Among public pages, only the ones whose owner turned on showing them on search sites appear on search sites, and the rest are kept off search sites. MiniWiki also adds the link and last-edited time of each of those pages to a public list that search sites read. After you turn it off, it can take a few days to a few weeks to drop out of search results. The content and photos of private and friends-only pages, messages, and friend request messages cannot be seen by the MiniWiki team on its admin screens either. The team does see the questions you send through Help, since it has to answer you, and the text and photos of a page you appealed, since it has to review the appeal (see ‘What MiniWiki uses your data for’ above).
We keep making these efforts, but they may not stop everything, such as illegal acts by others like hacking, or problems caused by not keeping your own password safe. When a problem arises from causes like these, which are not MiniWiki’s fault, it is hard for MiniWiki to take responsibility for it. That said, if we find a problem, we will notify you quickly as the law requires and take the necessary steps.
We send data over encrypted connections (HTTPS) and give admin access only to people who need it. Your data is also stored and processed on servers abroad, such as in Singapore and the United States, and when we send it abroad we also send it over encrypted connections.
7.Cookies (small notes kept in your browser)
A cookie is a tiny note that a website leaves in your browser. The next time you come back, your browser shows that note to MiniWiki, and MiniWiki reads it to recognize that it is you again. That note is why you do not have to log in again every time you move to another page.
These are the notes MiniWiki leaves:
- A note that keeps you logged in So you do not get logged out as you move between pages.
- A note that remembers your language If you read in Korean, we show Korean again next time.
- A note that checks share links To confirm that someone who followed a link is allowed to see that page.
- A note that shows where people get stuck We leave it to group the clicks that came from the same person. This note never holds your name or email. Once you log in, a random number tied to your account rides along, so what one person did stays linked together. We also use another kind of note that your browser keeps only on your own device, and we put nothing that identifies a person there either.
- A note that you could not sign up because of your age If you could not sign up because you are under the minimum age, we keep only a mark that this happened and when, for one day. If you were below a higher age MiniWiki has set for a country, we also keep that age so you cannot sign up again from that country only. It does not hold your birth year or month.
- A note that you passed the age check Once you pass the age check, we keep it until you finish logging in, for 30 minutes at most. It does not hold your birth year or month, only the result of the check, locked so that only MiniWiki can open it, and we delete it as soon as you log in.
We never leave the kind of cookie other companies use to follow you around and show you ads. There is exactly one exception: when a Help notice has a video attached, we show that video from YouTube. So opening the notice sends the information needed to connect (your IP address and browser type) to Google, which makes YouTube. We embed it in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode. You can delete these notes or block them entirely in your browser settings at any time. Features that need them, like staying logged in, may then stop working properly. MiniWiki does not respond to your browser’s “Do Not Track” signal, because MiniWiki does not track you across other websites in the first place.
In the MiniWiki app, instead of cookies the app securely keeps notes on the device: your login info, settings such as notifications, language, theme, and translation, and when we last asked you to rate the app. These notes stay on that device and are not sent to MiniWiki’s servers. Only where the app opens a web screen, such as editing a page body or reading this document, do we include the note that keeps you logged in. A short post you were writing but have not posted yet (its text and the photo you picked) also stays only on that device until you post or delete it, and is deleted if you log in with a different account. On some devices, a post you were writing may remain on the device even after you delete the app. A mark that you could not sign up because you are under the minimum age also stays only on that device, for one day. A note that you passed the age check is not saved on the device. The app holds it only while it is open and deletes it once you log in. The note about rating requests stays only on the device. We send PostHog whether we showed a prompt asking for a rating or review (see “Where your data goes” above). For the “Leave a review?” prompt that MiniWiki shows itself, we also send which button you pressed.
Information sent straight from MiniWiki screens to other companies
While you use the MiniWiki website and app, some information goes straight from your device to the companies below. What each company receives and how long it keeps it is in the “Where your data goes” table above.
- PostHog To see where people get stuck and to fix errors, we send usage records such as what you tap or open, error information, and your device and browser type. When you browse without logging in, or make your first page right after signing up, we also send a recording of how the screen moves (with page text, AI conversations, and what you type hidden). When you are logged in, we also send your member number.
- Google (YouTube) When you open a Help notice with a video, we send your IP address and browser type so the video can be shown. When you go to install the app from a share link through Google Play, we send the link’s page address and share code to Google Play so the link can still open after you install.
- Expo (app) When you open the app, we send the app version, operating system type, and the information needed to connect, to check whether any screens have been updated.
- Login companies (Google, Apple, Kakao, LINE, X) When you log in with one of them, we take you to that company’s screen to confirm your login.
- Kakao and Meta When you tap KakaoTalk sharing or Instagram story sharing, we send what you are sharing.
- Firebase and Apple (app) If you allow app notifications, the app gets a device number so it can receive them.
Device permissions the app asks for
The MiniWiki app has no device permission you must allow in order to use it. It asks for the permissions below the first time you use the feature that needs them, and if you say no, everything else keeps working. You can turn them off in your device settings at any time.
- Notifications To receive new notifications and daily reminders.
- Camera (some devices) To take a photo and add it while you edit.
- Saving to Photos (some devices) To save a photo or card image to your Photos app. The app can only add to Photos and does not read the photos already there.
When you pick a photo, the app uses your device’s own photo picker, so only the photos you choose come to MiniWiki. It does not ask for access to your whole photo library.

9.Children and minors
By default, only people aged 13 or older can use MiniWiki. Where a country’s law or MiniWiki sets a higher sign-up age, only people that age or older can use it. Before you log in or sign up, we ask for the year and month you were born, and if you are under the minimum age you cannot sign up (see “What MiniWiki collects” above). If your device tells us that a law requiring an age check applies to the account, we also look at the age range the device shares. If you have already signed up, we ask your age the next time you log in. Until you tell us, you cannot use MiniWiki except to log out or delete your account. If the check shows you are under the basic minimum age (13, or a higher age where the law sets one), we stop the account from being used and delete it after 30 days. If you are below only a higher age MiniWiki has set for a country, we do not delete the account, but you cannot log in again from that country. If your device said the law applies and the check shows you are under 18, we do not delete the account but stop it from being used until the consent option is ready (see “How long MiniWiki keeps your data” above). If the law where you live sets a higher age, you must be at least that age, and if it requires minors to get a parent or guardian’s consent, you must get that consent before using MiniWiki. In countries such as Japan, where a contract a minor makes without a parent or guardian’s consent can be cancelled, you or your parent or guardian can ask, under that country’s law, to cancel the contract and delete the account and its content (see “How to ask” above).
10.Where to get help for privacy violations
If your personal data has been violated and you need help, email us first at help@mini.wiki. We will look into it and reply.
In Korea, you can also contact these authorities.

If you live in another country, you can also contact its privacy regulator. For example, in Japan you can contact the Personal Information Protection Commission (ppc.go.jp), in the Philippines, the National Privacy Commission (privacy.gov.ph), and in the European Union, the data protection authority of the country where you live.
11.We will tell you when this Privacy Policy changes
When this policy changes, we will post the new version on this page along with its effective date at least 7 days before it takes effect. For important changes, such as collecting more data or using it in new places, we will also tell you through a notice inside the app at least 7 days before.
This policy is shown in several languages. If a translation and the Korean original differ in meaning, the Korean original applies, unless the law where you live says otherwise.
