Mastermind privacy

Privacy, Recording, AI Use & Community Notice

AI Mastermind is a live group program. Live sessions are recorded and transcribed so members can catch up through the replay, reviewed summary, lesson debrief, and recap email. Before each call begins, Thomas reminds everyone that the session is recorded. You are welcome to keep your camera and mic off and take part through chat. This notice explains that workflow, the member data kept on this site, and the choices available to you.

This notice covers AI Mastermind

This notice applies to AI Mastermind at mastermind.thomasmeli.com, operated by Thomas Meli. It covers the member site, billing and account records, community contributions, live group sessions, recordings, transcripts, recaps, and lesson debriefs.

Meli AI Academy membership and one-on-one coaching are separate services with different data practices. An ordinary Academy member's account activity and learning progress are not used to make Mastermind recordings or session materials. One-on-one coaching uses a separate private client workflow.

Questions and privacy requests can be sent to tpmeli.mastermind@gmail.com.

Information used to run your membership

The information kept depends on how you take part in the program. The site does not ask every member for every category below.

  • Account information: your name, email address, authentication records, profile name, and optional profile image. The current site serves an uploaded profile image only through your signed-in account. Supabase stores the sign-in credential. A new member receives a one-time setup link and chooses a password after opening it. The link expires and works once. A repeat checkout keeps the member's existing password. The welcome email does not contain a readable reusable password.
  • Billing information: your Stripe customer connection, subscription status, renewal and cancellation status, and transaction records. Stripe processes your payment card details. AI Mastermind does not receive or store your full card number.
  • Community information: questions, wins, intentions, replies, votes, links, tool names, technical details, and the name shown beside your contribution.
  • Session information: your name, voice, image, shared screen, chat, questions, examples, and other contributions that become part of a recorded live session.
  • Interactive presentation information: poll choices and the technical identifier used to prevent duplicate votes.
  • Technical information: authentication cookies and the ordinary request, device, error, and security information needed to host and protect the site.

How a live session becomes a replay and debrief

Mastermind sessions take place on Zoom and are recorded and transcribed. Before the session begins, Thomas reminds the group and asks everyone to confirm. Members are welcome to keep their camera and mic off and take part through chat. Because the replay and recap are part of the program, the live session remains recorded. Fathom records and transcribes the session and creates an automated meeting summary. The replay is shared with members through the member site or group email after it is reviewed.

Thomas uses the recording, transcript, and session context to prepare a reviewed summary, lesson debrief, practical takeaways, quotations, action items, and a recap email. These member materials may identify the person who shared a win, asked a question, offered an example, or accepted an action item.

The member site requires a Mastermind account. Fathom replay pages currently open for someone who has the share link; Fathom does not require a separate member login. Thomas shares those links only through member channels and asks members not to forward them.

The checkout disclosure, welcome email, and member portal explain that live sessions are recorded. At the start of each call, Thomas gives the group another reminder and asks everyone who plans to stay for explicit confirmation before the session begins. Contact Thomas before the session if you have questions about this policy.

Mastermind membership does not give Thomas permission to use your face, voice, work, or words in public marketing. Public clips, case studies, and testimonials require separate permission.

How the site uses information

Thomas uses member information to provide account access, manage billing, run the member community, hold live sessions, prepare the replay and reviewed member materials, answer support requests, protect the site, and meet accounting or legal duties.

AI Mastermind does not sell or rent member personal information and does not use it for targeted advertising.

Supabase authentication cookies keep signed-in members connected to their accounts. The site does not use advertising cookies or build a cross-site advertising profile, so a browser's Do Not Track setting does not change the site's current behavior.

How AI helps prepare member materials

Fathom uses artificial intelligence to produce its transcript and meeting summary. Thomas currently uses Anthropic Claude to help draft recap and lesson-debrief material. OpenAI Codex may help implement or review selected member materials and site artifacts. Thomas gives each tool only the source needed for that task, and he reviews the member-facing result before publishing it.

The tool used for a debrief can change as the available services change. A full transcript or the portions needed for the task may be processed by that provider under its own terms and settings. Thomas updates this notice when the working provider changes, and you can ask which tools handled a particular session.

AI tools do not decide whether you can join, keep access, receive support, or be treated differently inside the group.

What other Mastermind members can see

Active signed-in members can see community posts, replies, display names, vote totals, replay links, and lesson debriefs. The Fathom replay itself currently opens for someone who has its share link. A question or win discussed during a session may appear with your name in the member recap.

Mastermind is a shared room. Please contribute only what you are comfortable discussing with the group. Remove passwords, private client records, health information, financial account details, and personal information about someone else unless you have their permission to share it.

Members agree in the Terms to keep recordings, transcripts, portal discussions, and other members' personal or business information inside the group. Thomas can set and enforce that rule, although no group service can guarantee what every participant remembers or does after a conversation.

Services that help run AI Mastermind

Each provider receives the information needed for its role and handles that information under its own privacy terms.

  • Stripe handles checkout, recurring billing, receipts, and cancellation in its customer portal.
  • Supabase handles member accounts, authentication, profile details, community posts, replies, votes, and poll responses.
  • Zoom hosts the live group call.
  • Fathom records and transcribes the call and produces its meeting summary.
  • Anthropic Claude currently helps Thomas draft the reviewed recap and lesson debrief.
  • OpenAI Codex may help Thomas implement or review selected member materials and site artifacts.
  • Google and Gmail hold the recap drafts and messages Thomas prepares for the group. Resend separately delivers membership and account emails.
  • GitHub provides private source storage for reviewed lesson-debrief records and site code. It is not used as the working archive for new raw transcripts.
  • Vercel hosts the site and processes ordinary server and security information.
  • Pusher carries real-time presentation events during interactive sessions.

How long each kind of information is kept

Each category has a different working life. AI Mastermind currently uses purpose-based retention instead of one automatic deletion deadline across every provider.

  • Account and membership records are kept while the account is active and afterward when they are still needed for account support, billing, tax, fraud prevention, disputes, security, or legal obligations.
  • Community posts and replies remain while they support the member board and archive. Members can edit or delete their own posts and delete their own replies. A request can cover associated account information that the controls do not remove.
  • Fathom recordings and transcripts remain while they provide the promised replay archive or are needed to prepare, check, or correct member materials. They remain in Fathom until Thomas deletes them.
  • New local or downloaded transcript copies used to prepare the recap and debrief are removed after the reviewed member materials have been prepared and checked. Older copies may remain in restricted private development history until that history is separately remediated. They are not part of the public site or member archive. The Fathom replay and transcript may remain for the member archive as described above.
  • Reviewed lesson debriefs and recaps may remain longer than raw working material because they form part of the member learning archive.
  • Provider backups, security logs, and transaction records may remain for the provider's normal recovery, security, accounting, or legal cycle after the live copy is removed.

Your choices and requests

You can update your profile, edit or delete your own community posts, delete your own replies, and cancel future subscription renewals from your account settings.

You can ask to see, correct, export, or delete personal information connected to your account. You can also ask for a correction or redaction in a session debrief. A recording request may affect other members' records, so Thomas will review what can be removed while preserving their rights and any records that must be kept.

During a live session, you can keep your camera and mic off, avoid sharing your screen, and take part through chat. You can also submit a question in advance or use the replay afterward. Thomas reminds everyone that the session is recorded before it begins. Contact Thomas before the call if you have questions about this policy.

Send requests from the email connected to your account to tpmeli.mastermind@gmail.com so your identity can be verified.

Security and policy changes

AI Mastermind uses access controls, signed-in member routes, encrypted connections, and established service providers to protect the information it keeps. No online service can promise perfect security.

If this notice changes in a way that materially affects active members, Thomas will provide notice on the site or by email before the new use applies when practical.
