Security & Privacy

Your data security and privacy are fundamental to how mimic is designed.

Data Handling Principles

mimic is built with privacy-first principles. We understand that recordings may contain sensitive business information, and we've designed our systems accordingly.

encrypted Encryption

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256).

home Local Processing

Screenshots are processed locally before upload when possible.

auto_delete Data Retention

Recordings are automatically deleted after processing unless you choose to save them.

Sensitive Mode

mimic includes a Sensitive Mode toggle that pauses all capture when enabled. Use this when:

Entering passwords or authentication credentials
Viewing confidential financial or medical information
Accessing documents with restricted access
Typing personal information you don't want recorded

warning

Sensitive Mode requires manual activation. Make it a habit to toggle it on before entering private data.

What Is Not Captured

mimic is designed to avoid capturing certain data by default:

Full clipboard contents: Only a short preview is logged, not complete copied text.
System passwords: OS-level authentication prompts are excluded.
Background applications: Only the active window is captured in screenshots.

Access Controls

Your mimic account is protected by email-based verification codes. Each session requires authentication, and tokens expire after a set period. Team administrators can manage who has access to shared recordings and automation scripts.

Permissions Required

mimic requires the following system permissions to function:

Permission	Why It's Needed
Screen Recording	To capture screenshots of your workflow
Accessibility	To detect mouse clicks, keystrokes, and window changes
Microphone (optional)	To record voice narration during sessions

On macOS, you can manage these permissions in System Settings → Privacy & Security. mimic will prompt you to enable them on first launch.

Compliance & Auditing

For enterprise deployments, mimic supports audit logging of all recording sessions. Contact our team for information about SOC 2 compliance, data processing agreements, and on-premises deployment options.
