The Mindjet Design Partner program

At Mindjet, we do various types of user research in order to design our products. However, our user base is large enough that we can never contact more than a small fraction of you directly. So, we created the Mindjet Design Partner program to let virtually any Mindjet user contribute to the development of our products. The program helps us understand how people use our products, and thus lets us make better decisions in the future. The program is anonymous, and participation is voluntary.

How does it work?

MindManager can collect data about your installation and the features you use. If you choose to participate in the Design Partner program, this data is sent to Mindjet for analysis. By examining usage patterns among large numbers of people, we can get insights into how well current features are working, and how to improve the software in future releases.

Data collection occurs in the background as you use the software. There should be no perceptible effect on how you normally use MindManager, whether or not you participate in the program.

What data is sent?

The Design Partner program mainly collects data about which product features you use. It also collects data about your computing environment (computer processor, hard disk, memory, display, etc.) and about system performance and stability.

The Design Partner program does not send data that we can use to identify or contact you or the people you know, such as contact information, company information (including Internet addresses), or contact lists. It does not send document content, such as text or images in topics or Notes.

Will I get spam email from this?

Since the Design Partner program is anonymous, neither you nor the people you know will be contacted by anyone as a result of your participation in the program. No pricing or other marketing offers will be tied to your participation in the Design Partner program.

Can I see the data?

To keep the Design Partner program from affecting your product usage, and to allow us to update the program as needed, the program doesn’t support direct viewing of the data. If you are not comfortable participating without knowing exactly what data is being sent, please feel free to decline participation.

Can I change my mind?

Yes. You can control your participation at any time using the MindManager Options User Information settings.
