Privacy

Operator

Sean Newman Maroni, a sole proprietor. Mailing address: 414 Fayetteville St., Raleigh, NC 27603. Effective date: November 9, 2026. Last updated: October 30, 2026.

Server-side transcripts

Server-side transcripts are KMS-encrypted. They are deleted after a successful extraction. Transcripts from failed jobs stay until an S3 lifecycle rule removes them, about 2 days later.

Quotes kept with each fact

Each saved fact keeps a short verbatim quote (at most 4,000 characters).

Transcripts on your Mac

The Mac app keeps full transcripts locally until you delete the person, the account, or the app's data.

Who processes the text

Text is processed by Anthropic through Marbles' servers. There is no zero-data-retention agreement, and Anthropic may keep requests for up to 30 days.

Re-extraction

Meetings can be re-extracted.

Health facts

Health facts are stored and flagged "handle with care".

Outside access

MCP is not available in the beta. Outside agent access is not part of the beta.

The beta waitlist

The public waitlist form is closed. Email hello@getmarbles.ai to reach us. If you joined while that form was open, we store your email, your answers, the campaign tags and referring page that brought you, and when you signed up, in our AWS account. We use them only to run the waitlist. Waitlist emails are kept for up to 2 years and then deleted, or deleted sooner when you ask (hello@getmarbles.ai) or unsubscribe. Waitlist backups expire within 35 days. Those backups are separate from the main database backups, which expire within 7 days.

Deleting an account

Delete a person or your whole account anytime. Deleting the whole account removes server data within a day. Encrypted backups of the main database expire within 7 days. Deleting one person removes that person in the app and from the server. A main-database backup can still include them until the backup expires, within 7 days.

Age

Marbles is for people 18 or older.

What Marbles never reads

• Your email, iMessage, WhatsApp or anything else on your Mac.
• Any Granola folder you exclude. Marbles never downloads the notes or transcripts in it. It only lists their titles and dates so it can skip them, and if a note moves into an excluded folder mid-sync, Marbles drops it without saving anything.
• Marbles does not need Full Disk Access, and never asks for it.

Children

We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we learn we have, we delete it. Contact hello@getmarbles.ai.

Services Marbles uses

Marbles uses these services.

• Amazon Web Services: Marbles' servers, the main database and its backups, encrypted transcript storage (KMS), this website, and the waitlist.
• Anthropic: meeting text processed by Anthropic through Marbles' servers. There is no zero-data-retention agreement, and Anthropic may keep requests for up to 30 days.
• Stripe: payment processing.
• Granola: meeting notes, through an API key you create in your own Granola account.
• Google Workspace: the email provider for hello@getmarbles.ai.
• Google: Sign in with Google. Our servers check the sign-in token Google issues and receive your email address and name.

Business transfers

If Marbles' operations move to a successor entity (for example, if Sean Newman Maroni forms a company to run Marbles), your information will transfer to that successor. We will email you at least 30 days before the transfer. The successor must honor this policy for the transferred information, and you can delete your account before the transfer takes effect.

California privacy rights

If you are a California resident, you can ask Marbles to know, delete, or correct the personal information it holds about you, and to know the categories of information it collects.

Marbles does not sell personal information. Marbles does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Marbles will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

You may use an authorized agent. The agent must provide proof of authority. We verify a request by emailing you and asking you to confirm it.

Categories, sources, purposes, and retention:

• Waitlist: your email, your answers, the campaign tags and referring page, and the time you signed up. Source: an email you send to hello@getmarbles.ai. The public waitlist form is closed. Purpose: to run the waitlist. Retention: waitlist emails are kept for up to 2 years and then deleted, or deleted sooner when you ask (hello@getmarbles.ai) or unsubscribe.
• Granola notes: title, attendees, summary, your private notes, and the transcript. Source: Granola, through an API key you create. Purpose: to extract personal details. Retention: the transcript is deleted after a successful extraction. Transcripts from failed jobs stay until an S3 lifecycle rule removes them, about 2 days later. We keep the saved details and a short verbatim quote (at most 4,000 characters).
• Saved facts, including health facts flagged "handle with care", and the short verbatim quote kept with each fact (at most 4,000 characters). Source: your Granola notes. Purpose: to remember the person and to brief you. Retention: until you delete that person or your account.
• Apple Contacts: name, email, company, title, birthday, and photo, read-only. Source: Apple Contacts on your Mac. Purpose: to match people in your meetings to people you already know. Only matching contacts are used. Their details are copied into that person's profile, which syncs to Marbles' servers when you're signed in. Retention: until you delete that person or your account.
• LinkedIn: name, profile URL, email (when shared), company and position from the Connections.csv file, only if you import it. Each connection becomes a person card that syncs to Marbles' servers when you're signed in. The file itself is not kept. Retention: until you delete that person or your account.
• Calendar: upcoming event titles and times, and attendee names and emails, read-only through macOS. Source: your calendar on the Mac. Purpose: to know when to hand you a brief. Retention: read on the Mac for upcoming briefs.
• Google Calendar and Google contacts, if you connect Google: event times, titles and invitees; names, emails and photos of your Google contacts, Other contacts and Workspace directory. Read-only, fetched from your Mac. Marbles cannot read Gmail messages.
• Website: a pseudonymized hash of the visitor's IP address, used only for the waitlist rate limit. An IPv6 address is reduced to its /64 network before it is hashed. Retention: set to expire after 2 hours and deleted automatically, usually within a few days.
• Billing: your email, billing address, and payment details are held by Stripe, not Marbles. Source: you, at checkout. Purpose: to charge for Marbles Pro. Marbles keeps the Stripe customer and subscription IDs. Retention: when you delete your account, we cancel the subscription and delete the Stripe customer, unless that customer still has another active subscription. Stripe may keep transaction records the law requires. We keep the pseudonymous customer and subscription IDs in our cancellation log so we can confirm the cancellation.

Other US states

If another US state privacy law applies to you, you can ask to access, delete, or correct your personal information, to receive a portable copy, and to opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising. Marbles does not sell personal information and does not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. To appeal a decision on your request, write to hello@getmarbles.ai.

UK and European rights

If UK or EU data protection law applies, you can ask to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your information, and to restrict or object to processing. You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority. We process information in the United States. We rely on contract (to provide Marbles), legitimate interests (to run the waitlist and keep the service secure), and your consent where we ask for it.

How to submit a request

Send a privacy request to hello@getmarbles.ai. We respond within 30 days.

People in your meetings

The other people in a meeting did not sign up for Marbles. A meeting participant can email hello@getmarbles.ai and ask to be removed. We delete the saved facts and quotes about that person that we can find on Marbles' servers. Copies on a Marbles user's own Mac are under that user's control, and we will ask them to delete them. We check the request by asking them to write from an email that was on the meeting, or to name the meeting.

This website

This website uses Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC) to measure pages and events such as download clicks. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies and receives the page address, a client identifier, and event details. For a visitor whose timezone is in the UK or the EEA, those cookies stay off. Campaign parameters in the link you followed are kept in session storage for this tab and sent with a beta signup. The waitlist limits how often one visitor can sign up. It stores a pseudonymized hash of the visitor's IP address, set to expire after 2 hours and deleted automatically, usually within a few days. An IPv6 address is reduced to its /64 network before it is hashed. The hash is used only for that rate limit.

Security

Meeting data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Sensitive fields are encrypted again per account. If a security breach affects your personal information, we notify affected people without unreasonable delay, and in any case as the law requires, and tell them what happened and what we are doing.
