What is Connectmyidea?
CONNECTMYIDEA is an application created to connect minds, specifically ideas. In an era where the connection of people is widely known, connecting ideas is mandatory. To accelerate this process, we thought of a platform where you could register your ideas, so that they could be connected with other similar ideas, whose result we ourselves cannot predict. We realize that the great ideas and advances of humanity have always begun through interactions between ideas, so it makes sense to accelerate this process through the CONNECTMYIDEA application. And the best part: it’s a platform where you can show all your potential, who you really are, regardless of race, color, age, gender, religion, etc. CONNECTMYIDEA was made by people and for people who want to collaborate with their ideas, contributing to the advancement of humanity in various areas. An average human has 70 thousand thoughts per day. We are 8 billion people in the world. We have many ideas to connect and create something new, don’t you agree?
Who can use the services?
All people worldwide over the age of 13. If you are younger than this age, wait a little until you reach it. If you do not want to wait and are full of ideas that will change the world, then ask for permission from the legal guardian/parent to be able to use it. These terms must be read by both, and the legal guardian (parent) will be responsible for their activities.

Your account on Connectmyidea is free. For use and insertion of ideas, you will receive free credits as soon as you create your account to test the application. After this, you can buy more credits to insert new ideas. Each new idea debits one credit from your account on the platform. The purchase will be made through the application and the Stripe payment platform. The ideas you have inserted and the connections made from them will remain with access granted for consultations and free of additional costs for you.
Posture and respect with other users
Connecting ideas is only possible with interaction between people. For this to happen in the best way for everyone, an environment of respect is essential. Among the guidelines in this regard, we highlight:
– Obey the laws regarding human rights.
-Respect the expression rights of other people, even if you do not agree. If the other person’s form of expression is in any way offensive, we ask for your help and report it so we can study the case and take appropriate action.
– Do not use the services to harm the image of third parties through bullying, defamation, fraud, deception.
– Do not use language that may offend another person based on their sex, age, race, nationality, or any other reason.
Our policy of good coexistence is extremely important, and we take this very seriously. Reports that prove to be true, in fact, can contribute to the temporary removal or even banning of individuals who have exhibited behaviors that do not fit or contribute to the purpose of our application.
Users who exhibit behaviors diverging from the above may be subject to having their accounts permanently banned, without being able to claim any rights or eventual refund of expenses incurred in the application.

The user may deactivate their account at any time, regardless of reason, with the privacy of personal data in our records guaranteed.
