A: Hi Marcus!

Good questions, and the right ones to ask before you put client work into any tool. Point by point:

1. Ownership. Yes. You keep full ownership of everything you create in Metodic: session designs, documents, worksheets, slides, cards and all generated outputs (Terms of Service §6.1).

2. AI training and sharing. Your content is not used to train AI models, by us or by the AI providers. We send prompts to the paid APIs of Anthropic (Claude) and Google (Gemini), and their API terms exclude training on that data. If you connect your own key, requests go to that provider instead. We don’t share your content with anyone except the processors needed to run the service, under data processing agreements. Our full sub-processor list is in our Data Processing Agreement at metodic.io/dpa.

3. Hosting and security. The database and files are hosted by Supabase in the EU (Ireland). Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we operate under GDPR. AI requests are processed by the providers’ APIs, which can be outside the EU; those transfers are covered by Standard Contractual Clauses.

4. Deletion. You can delete any session at any time (which also deletes its traces), and delete your whole account yourself in Settings. That removes your account and content; remaining traces, including backups, are gone within 30 days.

5. MCP and your own API keys. With your own key, requests go from our server straight to your provider under your own account and their terms. Your key is stored encrypted, and the app only ever shows a masked hint. With the MCP connector, Claude or ChatGPT only gets what you ask for through it, under that assistant’s terms. There’s no separate MCP quota: looking things up is free, and generating costs the same credits as in the app, or runs on your own key.

6. Private workspaces. Your sessions are private to your account. Others only see a session when you share it yourself: a view-only share link, or with team members you invite as editor or viewer.

7. Commercial use. Yes. Use what you make in Metodic for your clients and paid work.

8. Figma/FigJam. Not on our roadmap today. You can already export a session to Miro as an editable board. If FigJam is your board-app of choice, I want to invite you to add it to the feature board in the app; you can follow what’s planned on our public roadmap. If more people upvote that request, we will definitely consider including it.

The full details are in our Privacy Policy and Terms at metodic.io/privacy and metodic.io/terms.

Hope this helps and that we can welcome you inside Metodic!
Marco
