Our quiet vow.
We collect what is necessary. We keep what is offered. We release what is asked of us.
This Privacy Policy describes how MATRIX ("we", "us", "the studio") treats information we receive through matrka.net, through correspondence, and through engagements conducted under a separate agreement.
We are an intelligence architecture studio. The information we receive is treated with the same seriousness we bring to any element we choose to build with — deliberately, transparently, and for as long as it serves its purpose.
What we receive.
We receive information in three forms. Each is handled differently. None is treated casually.
- ◆ Correspondence When you write to us — by email, through the correspondence form, or by any direct channel — we receive your name, email address, and the content of your message. This is retained for as long as it serves the conversation it belongs to.
- ◆ Interaction signals When you visit matrka.net, our servers may record standard technical information — IP address, browser type, page visited, and time of visit — for the purpose of security, analytics, and understanding what work finds resonance. This data is aggregated and never sold.
- ◆ Engagement records When a correspondence becomes an engagement, information is governed by the engagement agreement. This policy continues to apply to the relationship itself — its confidentiality, its retention, its closure.
We do not sell your information. We do not rent it. We do not trade it. We do not expose it to third parties for their own purposes. We do not use it to train models without explicit, written, and revocable consent.
Why we receive it.
Information is received for specific purposes — and for no others. When those purposes are complete, the information is released.
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| To respond to your correspondence | Consent · Legitimate interest |
| To consider and conduct engagements | Contract · Consent |
| To maintain the security of our systems | Legitimate interest |
| To understand aggregate interest in our work | Legitimate interest |
| To meet legal or regulatory obligations | Legal obligation |
We do not use information for any purpose beyond the one for which it was received — not as a side-effect, not as an assumption, not as an opportunity.
How long we keep it.
We retain information for the shortest period that serves its purpose. Nothing is kept out of habit.
- ◆ Correspondence Retained for the duration of the conversation, and for a period of twenty-four months thereafter — unless it results in an engagement, in which case a longer retention is governed by the engagement agreement.
- ◆ Interaction signals Aggregated and anonymised after ninety days. Individual signals are not retained beyond this window.
- ◆ Engagement records Retained for the duration of the engagement and for a period required by applicable law or professional obligation thereafter.
Who may see it.
Your information is seen by as few people as possible. When it must travel beyond the studio, it travels under obligation.
- ◆ Within the studio Only the individuals whose work requires access. No internal exception.
- ◆ Service providers We use a small number of infrastructure providers — hosting, email, analytics. Each is bound by contract to treat information as we do. They process; they do not own.
- ◆ Legal obligation If we are required by law to disclose information, we disclose only what is required, to whom it is required, and — where lawful — we notify you first.
- ◆ No commercial transfer We do not sell, rent, or otherwise transfer information to any party for their own commercial purposes. Ever.
Your standing.
You hold standing over your information. That standing is not a favour we grant — it is a condition of our receiving it at all.
- ◆ To know You may ask what information we hold about you, and we will tell you.
- ◆ To correct You may ask us to correct any information that is inaccurate.
- ◆ To withdraw You may withdraw consent at any time. We will cease processing, subject only to obligations that survive withdrawal.
- ◆ To erase You may ask us to erase your information. We will do so, except where retention is required by law or by an active agreement.
- ◆ To object You may object to processing based on legitimate interest. We will review and respond — with a reason, not a template.
To exercise any of these, write to [email protected]. We respond within thirty days.
On cookies.
We use the minimum necessary. Where possible, we use none.
Any cookies we place serve one of two purposes: to remember that you have dismissed a notice, or to provide aggregate, anonymised analytics. We do not use cookies to build a profile, to advertise, or to track you across other sites.
You may disable cookies in your browser at any time. Our site will continue to function.
On security.
We protect information with the same care we bring to the systems we design.
We use encryption in transit, access controls based on least privilege, and regular review of our own practices. No system is perfect — where we discover a breach affecting you, we will notify you without delay and without ambiguity.
On change.
If this policy changes, the change will be recorded — dated, versioned, and made visible at this address. We will not rewrite the past to suit the present.
Material changes affecting your standing will be communicated directly where we hold a channel to reach you.
A final word.
The real revolution is the evolution of consciousness. Information, like steel or light, has grain and consequence — we treat it with the seriousness of any element we choose to build with.
If any part of this policy is unclear, we would rather you ask than assume. Write to us.
