4. How We Handle Your Content
Content you process through our tools (documents, form data, conversations, browsing results, signatures) is treated as confidential. We process this content only as necessary to provide the Services. We do not sell your content to third parties. We do not use your content to train machine learning models unless you explicitly opt in.
Content is encrypted in transit and at rest. We retain your content only for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services. You can delete your content at any time through the dashboard or API.
5. Information Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following circumstances:
- With service providers who assist us in operating the Services (hosting, payment processing, analytics), under contracts that require them to protect your information
- With third-party integrations you explicitly connect (Stripe, Gmail, Slack, etc.), limited to what is necessary for the integration to function
- When required by law, regulation, or legal process
- To protect the rights, safety, or property of The Masonry, our users, or the public
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice to affected users
6. Cookies and Tracking
We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and maintain your preferences. We use analytics cookies to understand how the Services are used. You can control cookie settings through your browser. Disabling essential cookies may prevent you from using parts of the Services.
7. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256), access controls, audit logging, and regular security assessments. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data.
8. Data Retention
We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. Usage logs and analytics data are retained for up to 24 months. When you delete your account, we remove your personal information and content within 30 days, except where retention is required by law. Signature audit trails are retained for 7 years to comply with legal requirements.

The Services are operated from the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States. We take steps to ensure that international transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.
11. Children's Privacy
The Services are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 16, we will delete it promptly.
