Share enough to start a conversation.

The homepage brief asks for your name, email and a description of your project; company or product and type of work are optional. The longer project brief page asks for your name, email, company or product, stage and milestone, with timeline and budget optional. This information is used to evaluate and respond to your project inquiry, not to subscribe you to marketing.

When direct submissions are available, the brief is sent through the website server to M3rkl’s private client-management system, where it appears in M3rkl’s inquiry inbox. M3rkl is also notified by email through its email provider; that notification contains your name, company or product, type of work and a link to the inquiry, not your email address or project description. When they are unavailable, the page offers the existing public inquiry page or email. Those options have their own delivery and browser behavior. Nothing is submitted merely by typing.

Project inquiries are for M3rkl’s inquiry review and follow-up. Ask hello@m3rkl.com about access, correction or deletion. Contractual, financial and legal records may require separate handling. Do not use the form for information you cannot share for this purpose.

Direct form submissions use Cloudflare Turnstile when enabled, which sends browser challenge information to Cloudflare. It is not used on the page while direct submissions are unavailable. To limit repeated submissions, your network address is passed to the client-management system, which keeps only a one-way hash of it for that purpose. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy for its processing.

The current website does not send new acquisition events to an analytics provider. Local event hooks contain only an event name, page and CTA placement; they exclude your form answers. An external measurement provider would require separate configuration and a reviewed privacy/consent setup.

The public studio pages serve their fonts locally. Public product links, email and the independent client workspace are separate services. Their own privacy practices apply when you follow those links.
