Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Markie collects, uses, discloses, stores, and protects information when you use the Markie website, web app, Chrome extension, APIs, workflows, and related services.

Markie is a source-to-content workspace. The service is designed to capture user-selected source material, apply saved prompts and voice settings, and generate content packs. Because that workflow may involve page text, URLs, notes, prompts, draft outputs, and account data, this policy describes those categories clearly.

If you use Markie on behalf of a company or other organization, your organization may control the workspace content and may provide additional privacy notices to you.

Account information: email address, authentication information, profile details, workspace membership, and settings needed to create and maintain your account.

Source content: page text, pasted text, documents, article excerpts, repository notes, thread text, URLs, titles, metadata, fallback text, and any other material you choose to capture, paste, upload, or save.

Workflow configuration: prompt templates, voice profiles, writing samples, model choices, content pack configuration, output settings, and other rules you save in the product.

Generated outputs: drafts, article content, social posts, email copy, creative prompts, metadata, run status, logs, and output history created through the service.

Communications: support requests, feedback, survey responses, billing communications, and any other information you send to us.

Product usage data: actions taken in the app, feature usage, timestamps, job status, error events, performance data, and diagnostic information.

Device and technical data: browser type, operating system, IP address, approximate location derived from IP address, referral URL, session identifiers, and similar technical information.

Cookies and local storage: Markie may use cookies, browser storage, and similar technologies for authentication, security, preferences, analytics, and product functionality.

The Markie Chrome extension captures only when you interact with the extension, such as clicking capture or entering text manually. It does not continuously monitor browsing activity.

When you capture a page, the extension may process the current tab URL, page title, readable page text, selected or extracted source content, and related metadata so the content can be saved to your Markie workspace.

The extension uses Chrome local storage to keep connection settings, authentication/session state, the current captured source, prompt and voice selections, content pack selections, and current generation job state.

The extension uses activeTab and scripting permissions to run bundled extraction logic on the active tab after user action. It uses storage permission to persist extension state. Host permissions are limited to Markie production services and the configured authentication provider.

The extension does not sell user data and does not use captured browsing content for advertising. Use of information received through the extension is limited to providing and improving Markie features, security, support, and operations.

To provide the service, including authentication, source capture, source storage, prompt rendering, voice application, AI generation, content pack creation, workflow execution, export, and account management.

To maintain and improve Markie, including debugging, analytics, reliability, abuse prevention, product research, and feature development.

To communicate with you about account activity, product updates, support, security notices, administrative messages, and billing matters.

To protect Markie, our users, and third parties, including detecting fraud, abuse, security incidents, policy violations, and unlawful activity.

To comply with legal obligations, enforce our Terms, resolve disputes, and preserve records where required.

Markie may send source content, prompts, voice profile data, configuration, and related metadata to AI model providers or infrastructure providers to generate outputs and operate workflows.

Generated outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, offensive, duplicative, or unsuitable for your intended use. You are responsible for reviewing outputs before publishing or relying on them.

Unless a separate written agreement says otherwise, we do not guarantee that AI providers will treat your data as confidential beyond their applicable commitments to us, and we do not guarantee that outputs are unique, non-infringing, or free from third-party rights.

We may use aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized operational information to improve Markie, measure quality, and understand system performance. We do not intentionally use private workspace content to train a public model unless we clearly disclose that practice or obtain required permission.

Where privacy law requires a legal basis, we process information to perform our contract with you, based on legitimate interests such as security and service improvement, with your consent where required, and to comply with legal obligations.

You may withdraw consent where processing depends on consent, but withdrawal will not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal or processing based on another lawful basis.

Service providers: we may share information with vendors that provide hosting, authentication, database, storage, logging, analytics, queueing, payment, customer support, communications, AI generation, and security services.

Workspace collaborators: content, settings, and generated outputs may be visible to users who have access to the same workspace or account, depending on product features and permissions.

Legal and safety: we may disclose information if we believe it is required by law, legal process, government request, security investigation, enforcement of our Terms, or protection of rights, property, safety, or integrity.

Business transfers: information may be disclosed or transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar transaction.

We do not sell personal information in the ordinary meaning of selling data for money. We also do not share captured source material or generated drafts for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Markie integrates with third-party providers such as authentication, hosting, databases, analytics, workflow, queueing, and AI model providers. Their processing may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

If you connect Markie to a third-party service, authorize an integration, or capture content from a third-party website, you are responsible for complying with that third party's terms and policies.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide Markie, maintain your account, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent abuse, and maintain security.

Workspace content may remain in your account until deleted by you, your workspace administrator, or us according to our policies. Deleted content may persist in backups or logs for a limited period.

We may retain aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified information that no longer reasonably identifies you.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information, including HTTPS for production traffic, access controls, restricted extension host permissions, and operational monitoring.

No service is perfectly secure. You are responsible for using strong passwords, protecting account credentials, managing workspace access, and reviewing content before publishing.

If you believe you have found a security issue, contact security@markie.so.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, restrict, or object to processing of certain personal information.

You can update certain account and workspace information in the app. You can clear local extension state by signing out, resetting the source, removing the extension, or clearing Chrome extension storage.

To make a privacy request, contact privacy@markie.so. We may need to verify your identity and may decline requests where permitted by law.

Markie and its providers may process information in countries other than where you live. Those countries may have data protection laws that differ from your local laws.

Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for international transfers, such as contracts or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

Markie is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information to Markie, contact privacy@markie.so.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice where required.
