How this works
Short answers to the questions the product raises, in the order you are likely to meet them.
What happens when I protect something?
Register fingerprints of your work under your Ma’atara identity. The record becomes public; your source work does not.
What does verified mean?
Verify checks the signature on a registered media capsule. It does not decide who owns the work.
What is AI-Pref?
Publish signed, machine-readable AI-use preferences for a content hash.
How identity works here
Your identity lets you sign registrations and preferences. Keep your recovery material safe.
Signing in on another device
Set up signing only on browsers you trust, and keep a recovery route before removing local data.
What leaves your device
Source files stay local during Protect and Detect. Fingerprints, authorization and operational metadata still reach services.
How Ma’atara secures your connection
HTTPS protects transport; local signing keeps private signing keys out of the service. Browser security still matters.
How billing works, and how to cancel
Manage shared Ma’atara plans through Parable using the same identity.
What happens to my data if Ma’atara shuts down?
Keep your originals and save records while services are available. Provenance registration is not a file backup.
Quick answers on trust
The practical limits of registration, search and local signing.
