Privacy policy

This policy applies to martori.studio, the marketing site for Martori, a studio based in Nashville, Tennessee. It covers the pages you read here and Lark, the companion that answers questions on the site.

Our products, including Sanctuary, Marrow, Drift, Vigil, Ledger, Thermal, and Cut, run on their own systems and carry their own privacy policies. When you use one of them, that product's policy governs your information there, not this one.

We are deliberate about this. There is no account to create here, and we do not ask you to sign in to read anything.

• What you write to us. If you email us or send a message through Lark, we receive the words you send and the address you send them from. You choose what to include.
• Basic technical data. Like almost every website, our host records standard server information such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you request. This keeps the site running and secure.
• No advertising trackers. We do not run third party advertising cookies or sell profiles of your behavior. The site uses only the cookies needed for it to function.

Lark is a companion, not an authority. It drafts answers while you decide what to do with them. When you send Lark a message, the text is passed to our language model provider, Anthropic, through a secure gateway so it can generate a reply. That exchange happens in the moment and is not tied to an account.

Please do not send Lark anything you would not want read by a model, including sensitive personal details, passwords, or health information. It is a guide to the studio, not a place to store a confidence.

We use information for a short list of ordinary purposes:

• To reply to you when you reach out.
• To keep the site running, secure, and free of abuse.
• To understand, in aggregate, how the site is used so we can make it better.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles.

We keep our list of partners small, and we share only what each one needs to do its job:

• Netlify hosts the site and its serverless functions, and records the standard technical data described above.
• Anthropic provides the language model behind Lark and processes the messages you send it to generate a reply.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the safety, rights, and property of people who use our site. We do not otherwise hand your information to anyone.

We hold on to information only as long as there is a reason to. Emails and messages stay with us while we are in contact and for a reasonable period after, in case you write again. Technical server logs are kept for a limited time and then rotated out. When we no longer need something, we remove it.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to see the personal information we hold about you, to correct it, to ask us to delete it, or to object to certain uses. This includes protections under laws such as the GDPR in Europe and the CCPA in California.

To make any of these requests, write to us at the address below. We will respond within the time the law allows, and we will not treat you differently for asking.

This site is meant for adults. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has sent us something, please tell us and we will remove it.

We use reputable providers and sensible safeguards to protect the little we hold. No method of transmission over the internet is ever perfectly secure, so we cannot promise the impossible, but we take the responsibility seriously.

Martori is based in the United States, and our providers may process information there and in other countries. By using the site you understand that your information may be handled in these locations.

As the studio grows, this policy may change. When it does, we will update the effective date at the top of the page. Meaningful changes will be reflected here rather than buried, and continuing to use the site means the current version applies.

If you have a question about your privacy, or a request about your information, write to us. A person will read it.
