Origami carries your planning quietly in the background. To do that it reads the plans you send it and turns them into a timeline. This page explains, in plain language, what that means for your data: what we hold, why, who helps us process it, and how to take it back.
What we collect
We only collect what the planner needs to work. 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 | The planner reads it and builds your timeline | Cloud infrastructure, AI processing |
| Chat messages with the in-app assistant | Answering you in context | Cloud infrastructure, AI processing |
| Voice notes you record or forward | Turning what you said into text the planner can read | Cloud infrastructure, AI processing |
| Purchase and subscription state | Unlocking the app for paying members | Identity and payments |
| Quality traces from the AI that reads your plans | Keeping extraction accurate and safe (held under a pseudonym) | AI processing |
How the planner uses your content
When you forward a message, a screenshot, or a file, Origami uses AI to read it and pull out the dates, reminders, and details, then places them on your timeline. A voice note is first transcribed into text, which is then read the same way. The same applies to the in-app assistant: it reads your messages so it can answer in the context of your own plans. This is the core of the product, and using Origami means agreeing to it. Your content is processed to serve you, not to train advertising or unrelated models.
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 — the AI that reads your plans and chat messages to build and answer about your timeline, transcribes your voice notes into text, and the pseudonymous quality traces that keep it accurate. These providers do not train on anything you send.
- 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 support@meetorigami.com and we will tell you.
We do not track you
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 AI quality traces described above.
Our marketing website (meetorigami.com) uses privacy-friendly, EU-hosted product analytics (PostHog) to see which pages people find useful. It runs cookieless: nothing is stored on your device — 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 never sell or share this data.
How long we keep your data
We keep your data for as long as your account is open, so your timeline 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, 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 support@meetorigami.com.
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 support@meetorigami.com. 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.
