Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 30, 2026

This policy describes how MARIN ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use our websites, applications, and AI assistant services (collectively, the "Service"). It includes specific disclosures for Google and Microsoft integrations, optional connections you may enable, web research and crawling tools we use (including Firecrawl), and the third-party services that help us run the product.

1. Introduction

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with our practices, you should not use the Service.

2. Information we collect

2.1 Information you provide

We collect information that you voluntarily provide when you:

  • Register or manage an account (name, email address, organization details)
  • Use the Service (messages, prompts, files you upload, tasks, and similar content)
  • Connect third-party services (OAuth tokens, account identifiers, and data those services make available)
  • Contact support or provide feedback
  • Participate in surveys or waitlist flows

2.2 Information collected automatically

When you access the Service, we and our providers may collect:

  • Device and network data (such as IP address, browser type, and operating system)
  • Usage data (pages or screens viewed, features used, and approximate timing)
  • Diagnostic and log data (errors, performance metrics, security signals)
  • Cookies and similar technologies (see Section 9)

2.3 Connected services (overview)

You may choose to link third-party accounts so MARIN can work across your tools. We only access data that you authorize through each provider's consent or permission flow. Detailed categories appear in Sections 2.4–2.8.

2.4 Google account data (Gmail, Calendar, Drive)

If you connect a Google account, we access Google user data only after you complete Google's consent screen. As of the date above, requested permissions correspond to OAuth scopes including: userinfo.email, userinfo.profile, gmail.modify, gmail.settings.basic (for example send-as or signature-related behavior where applicable), calendar.events, and drive.

  • Access and use. We use this data to provide features you request—such as reading or sending email, managing calendar events, and creating, editing, searching, or organizing Drive files.
  • Storage. We store OAuth tokens and connection metadata on our systems. We may cache or retain content and metadata from Google APIs as needed to operate the Service, consistent with Section 7 and until you disconnect or delete your account, subject to legal holds.
  • Sharing. We do not sell Google user data. We may share it with subprocessors who host, secure, or process data on our behalf (including AI infrastructure where applicable), only to deliver the Service and subject to contractual protections.
  • Limited Use. Our use of information received from Google APIs complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements (for example, we do not use Google user data for serving ads).

Disconnect Google anytime in MARIN (for example under Connections) and revoke access in your Google Account security settings.

2.5 Microsoft 365 data (Outlook, Calendar, OneDrive)

If you connect a Microsoft work or personal account, we access Microsoft data only after you complete Microsoft's sign-in and consent flow. As of the date above, we request Microsoft Graph permissions consistent with scopes such as: openid, email, profile, offline_access, User.Read, Mail.ReadWrite, Mail.Send, MailboxSettings.ReadWrite, Calendars.ReadWrite, and Files.ReadWrite (OneDrive files and folders you ask us to work with).

We use this data to provide the Service—for example, to read or send Outlook messages, manage calendar events, adjust mailbox settings when you ask us to, and create, edit, search, or organize OneDrive content. We store OAuth tokens and related metadata on our systems and may retain content from Microsoft APIs as needed to operate features you use. We do not sell this data. Disconnect Microsoft in MARIN and revoke the app in your Microsoft account permissions if you wish to remove access.

2.6 Dropbox

If you connect Dropbox, we receive authorization tokens and may access files, folders, and metadata Dropbox exposes for the permissions you grant. We use that access to power file search, summaries, organization, and other workflows you initiate. Tokens are stored securely; disconnect Dropbox in MARIN or in your Dropbox account settings to revoke access.

2.7 Other optional integrations

Depending on product configuration, you may be able to connect additional services—such as Notion, GitHub, LinkedIn, Instagram, X (Twitter), or Zoom. Each integration only receives the permissions you approve on that provider's screen. We use connected data to provide the features you enable (for example, posting or retrieving content, managing repos or pages you specify, or meeting-related actions). The exact data categories depend on the provider and the scopes you grant; review each provider's permissions before connecting.

2.8 Web content, research, and crawling

When you use features that rely on public web information—such as researching a URL you provide, answering questions with live context, or fetching page text for analysis—we may retrieve and process public web pages and search results on your behalf.

  • We may use Firecrawl (or similar crawling and extraction services) to fetch and normalize content from URLs you supply or that are relevant to your request.
  • We may use web search and browsing tools provided through AI providers such as Anthropic and OpenAI so the model can retrieve current public information when a feature requires it.

Text and metadata from those requests may be sent to our backend systems and to those vendors solely to fulfill your request. We do not use this activity to sell personal data or to serve third-party advertising. Public pages may still contain personal information if it was published publicly—we do not control site owners' content.

2.9 Account authentication (Clerk)

We use Clerk for sign-in, session management, and related account security features. Clerk processes authentication data (such as identifiers, email, and session tokens) in accordance with their documentation and privacy policy. Enabling the Service requires this processing.

3. How we use your information

We use information to:

  • Provide, operate, and improve the Service
  • Process messages, documents, calendar actions, and connected-tool tasks you request
  • Personalize your experience and remember preferences
  • Train and improve our models where permitted by your settings and this policy
  • Send administrative notices and respond to support requests
  • Monitor reliability, prevent abuse, and protect security
  • Comply with law and enforce our terms

4. AI processing and model training

MARIN uses artificial intelligence to interpret requests and take actions you approve.

  • Your prompts and relevant context may be processed by our systems and by model providers to generate outputs.
  • We may use aggregated or de-identified data to improve quality and safety.
  • Model providers (such as Anthropic and OpenAI) process content only as needed to provide the feature you use; we do not sell your personal information for advertising. Contractual terms restrict use of customer data to providing the Service.
  • Where available, you can control training-related options in your account settings.

5. How we share your information

5.1 With your consent

We share information when you direct us to—for example, by connecting a third-party account or explicitly requesting an action that sends data to another service.

5.2 Service providers and subprocessors

We use carefully selected vendors to run the Service. They may process personal data on our instructions and under contractual obligations. Categories include:

  • Cloud infrastructure. Providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) for APIs, storage, databases, and related hosting used by our application and backend.
  • Authentication. Clerk (and webhook infrastructure such as Svix where Clerk delivers signed webhooks).
  • AI and search. Anthropic and OpenAI for language models and, where enabled, web search or browsing tools.
  • Web crawling and extraction. Firecrawl (and similar services we may use for the same purpose) to retrieve and structure public page content you request.
  • Analytics and marketing tags. Google Tag Manager may load measurement or advertising tags according to our configuration; those tools are subject to their own policies and may use cookies (see Section 9).
  • Scheduling and demos. Calendly (or comparable booking links) when you choose to book time with us—those pages are governed by the provider's privacy notice.
  • Fonts, assets, and CDNs. For example, Google Fonts, jsDelivr, or similar CDNs that deliver scripts or icons may receive technical requests (such as IP address) in the ordinary course of loading the site.
  • Brand imagery (marketing). Our marketing pages may load logos from services such as Logo.dev; those requests typically include the domain name needed to render an image and are governed by the vendor's policy.

We may add or change vendors as the Service evolves; when we make material changes to how we share data, we will update this policy and the "Last updated" date.

5.3 Legal requirements

We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of users, MARIN, or others.

5.4 Business transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice where required by law.

6. Data security

We implement technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data, including:

  • Encryption in transit and, where appropriate, at rest
  • Access controls, authentication, and least-privilege practices
  • Monitoring, logging, and incident response procedures
  • Vendor diligence and contractual security requirements

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the Service and for legitimate business purposes (such as security, troubleshooting, and legal compliance). When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize personal data within a reasonable period—typically within ninety (90) days—unless a longer retention period is required by law. OAuth tokens are removed or invalidated when you disconnect an integration or delete your account, subject to backup and logging cycles.

8. Your privacy rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to certain processing or withdraw consent where processing is consent-based.

To exercise these rights, contact us at cyrus@heymarin.ai or use any data-management tools we provide in the Service.

9. Cookies and tracking technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for session management, preferences, analytics, and (where configured) marketing measurement. Our site loads Google Tag Manager, which may in turn load other tags that set or read cookies. You can control cookies through your browser; blocking some cookies may limit certain features. For more about Google's use of data from sites that use Google services, see Google's policies and your ad settings.

10. Third-party links and services

The Service may link to third-party websites or embed third-party experiences. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies before providing information.

11. Children's privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 where applicable in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Contact us if you believe we have collected a child's data.

12. International data transfers

We may process and store information in the United States and other countries where we or our vendors operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) to protect transfers.

13. California privacy rights

California residents may have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including rights to know, delete, and correct personal information, and to opt out of certain sharing. We do not sell personal information as defined by California law. To submit a request, contact cyrus@heymarin.ai.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Where changes are material, we will provide additional notice as appropriate.
