Privacy Policy
Effective September 26, 2026
Matterhall (“Matterhall,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides a service for publishing, sharing, and managing apps, files, and other work people create with AI tools. This Privacy Policy explains how we process personal information collected through matterhall.com, app.matterhall.com, our command-line and AI-agent tools, the hosting of published content, and our related communications (together, the “Service”).
California notice at collection: see State privacy rights for information about your rights under applicable state privacy laws.
Information we collect
Information you provide
- Contact data, such as your name, work email address, company, role, company size, and anything you write when you request early access or ask to talk with us.
- Account data, such as your name, email address, and workspace name when you sign in and create a workspace.
- Communications data from your exchanges with us, such as support requests and email.
- Content and metadata: the files, apps, and other material you publish, and information about them such as names, versions, owners, sharing settings, and activity.
- Data about others: the email addresses of people you share work with or invite. Please share only with people you are permitted to share with.
- Billing data, when paid plans are available: payment details are collected and processed directly by our payment processor; we do not store full card numbers.
Information from third parties
When you sign in with Google or another sign-in provider, we receive your name and email address from that provider, based on your settings there. If you are invited to a workspace, we receive your email address from the person who invited you.
Information collected automatically
When you use the Service, our systems and providers record technical information needed to operate and secure it, such as IP address, browser type, request times, the pages or items requested, and whether access was allowed or denied. The marketing site at matterhall.com does not use analytics, advertising, or tracking tools.
How we use information
- To provide the Service: create and run your account and workspace, publish and host your work, enforce the sharing choices you make, and keep version and activity history.
- To keep the Service secure: scan uploads for malware, verify identity and permissions on each request, detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and unauthorized access, and keep security and audit records.
- To communicate with you: respond to early-access and contact requests, send service messages such as sharing notifications and security alerts, and, if you choose, send product updates.
- To improve the Service: understand how features are used, in aggregated or de-identified form. We do not attempt to re-identify de-identified data.
- For compliance and protection: comply with law and legal process, enforce our terms, and protect the rights, privacy, safety, and property of our users, the public, and Matterhall.
We do not sell your personal information, use it for targeted advertising, or use your content to train AI models. Publishing and sharing do not send your content to any AI model.
Content you publish
You decide what you publish and who can open it. Published content is private by default: only people you share with can open it, after signing in. We access content only as needed to provide and secure the Service (for example, to scan it for malware), to respond to your support requests, or to comply with law. Content you publish may contain personal information about others; you are responsible for having the right to publish and share it.
Retention
We keep personal information for as long as needed for the purposes described here, including legal, accounting, and security requirements. Early-access and contact requests are kept until we have responded and no longer need them for that relationship, or until you ask us to delete them. Account data is kept while your account is active. Published content is kept until you or your workspace delete it, or the workspace is closed, subject to limited backup and security records. When we no longer need information, we delete it, de-identify it, or isolate it from further use.
Your choices
- Access and update: you can review and update account information after signing in, or contact us.
- Delete: you can delete items you own. To delete your account or an early-access request, email admin@matterhall.com.
- Communications: you can opt out of product updates using the unsubscribe link in any such email. Service messages, like security alerts and sharing notifications, will continue while you use the Service.
- Declining to provide information: some information, such as an email address, is required to use the Service.
Security
We use technical, organizational, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including encryption in transit and at rest, separate domains for published content, access checks on every request, and malware scanning. You can read more in our security architecture overview. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information.
Where data is stored
Matterhall is based in the United States. We store Service data in the United States, on Google Cloud in the us-east1 region. Some providers, such as Cloudflare for website delivery, may process limited technical data in other locations as part of operating their networks.
Children
The Service is not intended for anyone under 18. If you believe we have collected personal information from a child, contact us and we will delete it as required by law.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date and post the new version here, and where appropriate notify you by email or in the Service. Changes take effect when posted unless we say otherwise.
