Privacy

The M² Lab is built to be quiet. It sets no tracking cookies, runs no analytics, and carries no advertising or marketing pixels. This notice explains what the lab does with information when you use it. It covers the lab at ancaire.ai. The firm's main site, ancaire.co, carries its own policy, which also covers the contact brief and the client portal.

In short

Who we are

Ancaire ("we," "us") operates this lab at ancaire.ai. For the purposes of applicable data-protection law, we are the controller of the limited information described here. You can reach us about privacy matters at privacy@ancaire.co.

What we do not do

We want to be specific, because most websites cannot say this:

• We do not use tracking, advertising, or analytics cookies.
• We do not run analytics platforms. No Google Analytics, Tag Manager, or similar.
• We do not embed advertising or social-media tracking pixels.
• We do not build profiles of visitors or track you across other websites.
• We do not sell, rent, or trade your information.

To keep the lab running and to catch abuse, our edge keeps minimal, non-identifying operational records, for example that a chat turn happened or that an assessment was generated. These contain no message content, no names or emails, and nothing that identifies you or follows you across visits. They are operational records, not analytics, and they set no cookies.

The only value the lab stores on your device is a small, non-identifying flag that remembers you dismissed the welcome notice, so it does not reappear every visit. It holds no personal information. Separately, the human check described below may set a short-lived technical value to tell people apart from automated abuse. It is a security measure, not tracking, and we build no profiles from it.

What the lab does with what you type

AncaireAI, the guide in the console, and the one-page assessment are both built on Claude. They are optional. You can explore the map without typing anything.

• The text you enter in the console, and any program description you submit for an assessment, is sent to Anthropic's Claude API to answer you and to compile the assessment. There are no name or email fields in the lab, so none are sent.
• The lab's guide does not run web searches. It is scoped to Ancaire and the M² framework.
• Nothing you type is sent to us. The lab has no form and no sign-in. Your conversation and your assessment stay between your browser, our edge, and Anthropic, and we do not store or read them. Under Anthropic's commercial terms, content sent to its API is not used to train its models by default and is retained only for a limited period. That processing is governed by Anthropic's own terms.

Please do not enter confidential, regulated, or personal information about yourself or anyone else, or anything you are not free to share. The lab is a thinking tool, not a secure channel for sensitive data.

Cookies and local storage

The lab uses only what it needs to work:

• A human-verification cookie set after the anti-abuse check, so you are not challenged again during your visit. It is signed by the server and is not readable by scripts.
• A short-lived session token used to rate-limit usage and keep the lab available.
• A small flag in your browser that remembers you dismissed the welcome notice.

None of these track you across other websites, and the lab carries no advertising cookies.

Who processes it for us

We keep the number of third parties deliberately small:

• Cloudflare, our hosting and content-delivery provider. As with any website, Cloudflare processes basic technical request data, such as IP addresses and request metadata, at the network level to serve the lab and protect it from abuse. It also provides the bot protection behind the human check. This happens at the infrastructure layer and is governed by the Cloudflare privacy policy.
• Anthropic, the provider of Claude. The text you type is sent to Anthropic's API to answer you and compile your assessment. Anthropic processes this as our service provider. Under its commercial terms, API content is not used to train its models by default and is retained only for a limited period. See the Anthropic privacy policy.

We use no analytics, advertising, or data-broker services.

How long we keep it

We do not store your conversations or your assessments. Our operational records are kept only as long as useful for running the lab and catching abuse, then discarded.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, including to access, correct, or delete it, to object to or restrict its use, or to receive a copy. Because the lab does not collect or store personal information about you, there is little for us to hold here. For any privacy question, or about information you have shared with Ancaire elsewhere, email privacy@ancaire.co. You also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority, though we hope you will contact us first.

Children

This is a professional tool. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

International visitors

We are based in the United States, and our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. If you use the lab from outside the United States, you understand that information will be handled as described here. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for any international transfer.

Changes to this notice

If we change how the lab handles information, we will update this page and revise the date above. Material changes will be reflected here before they take effect.
