Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 12, 2022. The previous version is available here.

mmhmm is a virtual camera and presentation application that helps you communicate with video -- both in real-time and asynchronously -- via desktop, mobile, web-based and cloud-based applications. These Services - including mmhmm and others that link to this Privacy Policy - provide you with fun ways to present your ideas, collaborate with others, and to share your content.

When you use these Services, certain information is shared with us. We want to be as clear as possible about what type of information we collect, how we use it, whom it is shared with, and your options for controlling it.

By using our Services, you agree to the collection, use, and sharing of information described in this Privacy Policy. We have also provided a summary for quick reference.

  1. Information we collect from you

There are three different categories of information we collect about you when you use our Services. Information may include or reflect personal information, as well as non-personal information, that could identify you.

  • Information that you provide to us
  • Information related to your use of our Services
  • Information about you from third parties

Below are more details about these categories.

Information that you provide to us

Account information. When you sign up for certain mmhmm accounts, the information you provide to us may include your name, email address, phone number, company name and billing information.

Financial information. In order to make purchases, you may need to provide a valid payment method (i.e., credit or debit card) and its associated account information. Your payment information will be collected and processed by our authorized payment vendors, and we do not directly collect or store payment information in the ordinary course of processing transactions. The privacy policies of third payment processors govern the use of your information. These payment processors are required to adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS to help ensure the secure handling of payment information.

If we allow purchase through a third-party platform (i.e. in-app purchase), the payment method stored with the third-party platform will be charged.

User Content. You may create content that includes presentations, videos, text, photographs, artwork, comments and reactions, which may include your likeness or other identifying information that is considered personal information. You permit us to collect, process, store and share your content with personal information, in order for us to provide the Services as intended. You can delete content containing your personal information in your personal account at any time.

User Content in Teams accounts. If you are a Teams account user, you authorize us to collect, process and store content and related information for yourself and/or the organization which is the owner of the Teams account.

  • Establish its own rules regarding your access, use, disclosure, or retention of data stored in the Teams account;
  • Access information about your account and usage activity;
  • Access your content, and permit content sharing with other authorized Teams account members,
  • Delete or limit access to your account or its content; and
  • Change the email address associated with your account.

Any downloaded recordings you create of your presentations remain under your control whether those recordings are stored locally on your computer or in cloud hosting provided by the Services, subject to any conditions applicable to your use of a Teams account.

Please note that Teams account Owners and Admins cannot access any other accounts that are not part of the Teams account.
