01Overview
Armature, Inc. (“Armature,” “we,” or “us”) provides a continuous testing and observability platform for AI agents that operate over the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and command-line interfaces (CLIs). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect about our customers and visitors to armature.tech, how we use it, and the choices you have.
If you are an end user of an application built by an Armature customer, your data is governed by that customer’s own privacy policy. We process such data only as a service provider on the customer’s behalf.
02Information we collect
Account and contact information
When you sign up, we collect your name, work email address, organization name, and authentication identifiers (e.g., SSO subject IDs). If you contact us, we keep the message you send and our reply.
MCP & CLI connection metadata
To run the service, we store the configuration you provide for each connected MCP server or CLI binary: the endpoint URL or invocation command, the catalog of tools and capabilities we discover, and any non-secret environment metadata.
Secrets (API keys, OAuth tokens, etc.) are never stored in plaintext in our database. They live in transport headers attached at runtime, or as encrypted secret_ref pointers managed in the Armature dashboard.
Workflow definitions and run data
For every workflow you create or that we propose, we store the prompt, expected behaviors, assertions, judge rubrics, and historical execution traces. Traces include the agent’s reasoning, tool calls and arguments, tool responses, latency, and judge verdicts.
Billing information
If you purchase a paid plan, our payment processor (Stripe) collects payment-card or banking details directly. We receive only the last four digits, brand, country, and billing address. Never the full card number.
Product telemetry
When you use the Armature dashboard, we collect basic product analytics through PostHog: pageviews, feature usage, errors, browser type, and rough geolocation derived from IP address. We do not use this data to build advertising profiles.
Marketing site (this website)
The marketing site at armature.tech does not run any analytics or tracking scripts and does not set tracking cookies. Your visit here is anonymous from our point of view; standard server logs (IP, user agent, request path) are retained briefly by our hosting provider, Vercel, for operational and security purposes.
03How we use information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate the service: discover tools, run scheduled workflows, generate traces, and deliver alerts to you.
- Authenticate users, secure accounts, and prevent abuse.
- Bill customers and keep tax and accounting records.
- Communicate with you about service changes, security notices, and (with your consent) product news.
- Investigate and respond to support requests.
- Improve the service: debug issues, build new features, and measure aggregate quality of agent behavior across models and harnesses.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not use customer workflow content or run traces to train our own foundation models or those of any third party.
04Legal bases (EEA/UK)
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data on the following bases under the GDPR / UK GDPR:
- Contract: to provide the service you signed up for.
- Legitimate interests: to keep the service secure, prevent fraud, and improve our product. We balance these against your rights and freedoms.
- Consent: for any optional marketing communications you opt into. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Legal obligation: to meet our compliance, tax, and accounting requirements.
06Retention
We keep account information for as long as your account is active. Run traces and workflow definitions are kept while the account is active and for up to 90 days after termination, unless a longer period is needed to comply with law or resolve disputes. Billing records are kept for the period required by tax and accounting law (typically 7 years). Marketing-site server logs are kept for up to 30 days.
You can request earlier deletion at any time. See Your rights.
07Security
We follow standard industry practices to protect customer data:
- All traffic is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2+.
- Data at rest is encrypted using AES-256 or equivalent.
- Customer secrets are never stored in plaintext; they live in transport headers or encrypted
secret_refpointers. - We apply the principle of least privilege to internal access and review access regularly.
- Production systems are isolated in network-segmented environments with logged administrative access.
No system is perfectly secure. If you discover a vulnerability, please report it to founders@armature.tech and we will work with you in good faith.
08International transfers
Armature is based in the United States and our infrastructure runs primarily in U.S. regions. If you access the service from outside the U.S., your information will be transferred to and processed in the U.S. and other countries where our subprocessors operate.
For transfers from the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, we rely on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (and the UK Addendum where applicable) with our subprocessors.
09Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Delete your data, subject to legal exceptions.
- Export your data in a portable format.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Withdraw consent for any processing based on consent.
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, email founders@armature.tech. We respond within 30 days. If you are an end user of a customer’s product, contact that customer first; we will route your request appropriately.
11Children
Armature is a product for businesses and developers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us and we will delete it.
12Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify customers by email and update the “Effective” date above. Continued use of the service after the new policy takes effect constitutes acceptance.
