Privacy Information
Privacy information.
This page describes MAQUINE's current technical and operating approach to website, rights-desk, and professional-correspondence data. This public website does not accept private manuscripts. Do not place them in a public form or ordinary email. Use only the private Studio route authorized for your project and its applicable documents.
This website and MAQUINE Studio are operated by Maquine, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

Information we receive
When you contact MAQUINE, we may receive your name, professional email, role, organization, title or catalog details, language and territory information, rights status, project goals, messages, and materials you choose to provide. The public site routes non-confidential inquiries. The separate MAQUINE Studio offers public account registration with email confirmation and optional client authenticator protection and handles account details, private project records, authorized manuscripts, agreement records and payment status under the applicable project documents.
Confidential Studio files
This public website does not accept manuscripts, samples, agreements, attachments, project files, or deliverables. Private Studio files require owner-scoped or founder-authorized access, server-controlled object paths and authenticated retrieval. Original manuscript text must never be placed in public forms, ordinary email, analytics, payment metadata, or routine application logs.
Technical manuscript analysis
Private Studio intake performs technical file validation and source-word counting. These checks support human review; they are not automatic translation, editorial acceptance or rights clearance. A public estimate is not a final approved proposal. Any future AI processing requires a separate disclosed and approved feature gate.
Technical and security data
Cloudflare processes ordinary request data to deliver and protect this website. If approved inquiry or Journal-comment storage is active, MAQUINE stores only a truncated network prefix with the record for form-abuse prevention; the complete IP address and browser user-agent are not retained in those databases. Hidden anti-spam fields and submission limits are used only on activated intake paths.
Moderated Journal comments
If Journal comments are activated, a submission includes the display name, private moderation email, comment, article identifier, consent confirmation, and a truncated network prefix for abuse prevention. Comments remain pending until reviewed. Only the approved display name, comment, and publication date are public; the moderation email is never displayed. The feature remains off unless its moderation, privacy, data-residency, and database controls are explicitly approved.
Why we use information
Information is used to evaluate and answer inquiries, assess authority and project fit, prepare catalog or partnership discussions, maintain an accountable correspondence record, protect the service from abuse, and take steps requested before a possible agreement. These uses rely on requested pre-contract work and MAQUINE's legitimate interests in operating a secure rights desk.
Service providers and disclosure
Cloudflare delivers the public website and private Studio. Studio uses Supabase for authentication, database records and private storage; Stripe for available, server-authorized hosted Checkout; and Microsoft Graph for configured authentication email. The public website itself does not accept payment or private manuscripts.
International processing
Rights work is international, and service providers or approved project participants may process information outside your country. Before activating intake, MAQUINE must approve the applicable locations, access limits, provider safeguards, and contractual transfer mechanism for the intended jurisdictions.
Retention
Website inquiry records are retained only while reasonably needed to evaluate and answer the inquiry, preserve an accountable correspondence record, protect the service, or meet applicable legal obligations. Studio files and records follow their applicable category rules and legal holds. Contractual, tax, payment, fraud-prevention, dispute, and audit records may require longer retention. A valid deletion request cannot override a legal obligation or active hold.
Your choices and rights
Depending on your location, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or an explanation of how your information is used. You may also object to certain processing or withdraw consent where consent applies. MAQUINE will verify the request and respond under the applicable privacy law.
Security, children, and updates
The public website uses encrypted transport and security headers. Studio access, storage, payment, backup, recovery, and incident-response boundaries are reviewed separately. No system can guarantee absolute security. The website is intended for publishing professionals and adult rightsholders, not children. Material changes to this information will be posted here with a revised date.
