Privacy
Last updated August 30, 2026
This page explains what we hold, why, who helps us process it, and how to take it back.
What we collect
We only collect what Origami needs to provide the service. We do not buy data about you or build an advertising profile.
| What | Why | Where it is processed |
|---|---|---|
| Your phone number | Account identity, and one-time codes by SMS or WhatsApp | Cloud infrastructure, Messaging |
| Your Sign in with Apple identifier | Signing in with Apple | Cloud infrastructure, Identity and payments |
| Plan content you send: events, reminders, and forwarded text or files | Turning forwarded content into calendar entries | Cloud infrastructure; see the processing disclosure below |
| Chat messages with the in-app assistant | Answering you in context, auditing and improving the service | Cloud infrastructure; see the processing disclosure below |
| Model input and output for your turns | Auditing what the service processed and improving it | Cloud infrastructure |
| Voice notes you record or forward | Turning voice notes into text | Cloud infrastructure; see the processing disclosure below |
| Purchase and subscription state | Unlocking the app for paying members | Identity and payments |
| Pseudonymous quality traces | Maintaining the service (held under a pseudonym) | Cloud infrastructure; see the processing disclosure below |
Who processes your data
We keep the list of companies we rely on short. Each one handles your data only to provide the part of Origami it powers, and none of them may use it for anything else. Here are the kinds of company involved.
- Cloud infrastructure. The platform Origami runs on: the application, the database, and stored files.
- AI processing is used to turn what you forward into editable calendar entries and answer your messages; voice notes are transcribed, providers do not train on your content, and you can correct or delete entries.
- Messaging. Receiving plans you forward by WhatsApp, and sending one-time sign-in codes.
- Identity and payments. Sign in with Apple, App Store purchases, and mirroring your subscription so the app knows you are a member.
If you want to know exactly which companies sit behind these categories, ask us at [email protected] and we will tell you.
We do not track you across the web
Origami does not track you across other apps or websites. The app ships with no analytics, attribution, or advertising software, and we do not sell or share your data for advertising. The only diagnostics we hold are the pseudonymous quality traces described above.
Our marketing website (meetorigami.com) uses two separate measurement tools. PostHog is privacy-friendly, EU-hosted product analytics to see which pages people find useful. It runs cookieless: nothing is stored on your device, with no cookies, no local storage, no cross-site tracking, and no advertising identifiers. Visitors are counted with a short-lived, irreversible hash that resets daily, so visits stay anonymous.
We also use the TikTok Pixel on the site to measure our paid campaigns on TikTok and improve ad delivery. That pixel may set cookies, collect your IP address and browser information, and share events with TikTok. How we ask depends on where you are. In the EU, EEA, and UK we ask first and load it only after you choose Accept. Elsewhere we load it by default, and you can turn it off at any time under Privacy choices in the footer. Browsers that send a Global Privacy Control signal are always treated as opted out. We never sell or share this data.
The TikTok Pixel records when you click through to the App Store. That click is the last step the website can see — it is not a verified app download or install.
How long we keep your data
We keep your data for as long as your account is open, so your calendar and history stay where you left them. There is no separate auto-expiry. When you delete your account, we delete your data (see below). We may retain the minimum required to meet a legal or tax obligation, such as a billing record.
Deleting your data
You can delete your account from inside the app, in Settings. Deleting your account erases your plan content, chat history, stored model input and output, and your Origami identity, and signs you out. The deletion runs server-side across your data, not just on your device. If you would rather we did it for you, write to [email protected].
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you have the right to access the data we hold about you, correct it, export it, or have it deleted, and to object to or restrict some processing. You can act on most of this directly in the app, and we will help with the rest. To make a request, write to [email protected]. If you are in the UK or EU and are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
Origami is built for adults managing a household and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle your data, we will update this page and move the date at the top. Significant changes will be made clear in the app.
