If you have questions about how OrigamiSpirit.com collects, stores, uses, or protects your personal information, please contact us.
By visiting OrigamiSpirit.com, making a purchase, subscribing to our newsletter, or otherwise interacting with our site, you accept and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
- Voluntary submissions: When you sign up for our newsletter, make a purchase, enroll in a class, join Origamigos (membership), or contact us, you may provide personal information such as your full name, email address, physical address, phone number, and payment-related details (handled by our processor).
- Automatically collected data: We and our third-party vendors use cookies and similar technologies to collect anonymous browsing and traffic data (e.g., IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent, referral sources). This helps us understand site usage and improve your experience.
- Engagement data: For newsletter subscribers, our email provider collects basic metrics like opens, clicks, and sends, linked to your email address.
We aim to minimize collection and provide choices wherever possible. We do not collect sensitive personal information (e.g., racial/ethnic origin, health data) unless voluntarily provided for a specific purpose.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Provide and improve our services (e.g., deliver newsletters, process orders, grant membership access).
- Communicate with you (e.g., subscription updates, order confirmations, occasional promotions or special offers related to Origami Spirit content, classes, or shop items).
- Personalize content and ads (e.g., targeted social media promotions based on interests or site visits).
- Analyze site performance and user behavior (aggregated/anonymous data).
- Comply with legal obligations and prevent fraud.
3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR-relevant)
For users in the EU/EEA/UK:
- Consent: Newsletter subscription, cookie usage for non-essential purposes.
- Contract performance: Processing purchases, delivering digital products/classes.
- Legitimate interests: Site analytics, security, basic marketing of similar content (with opt-out).
You can withdraw consent or object to processing at any time (see Your Rights below).
4. Third-Party Services
We work with trusted providers and do not sell or rent your personal data:
- Email & automation: Keap (formerly Infusionsoft) handles newsletter delivery, subscriber management, and engagement tracking.
- Payments: All credit card and payment processing is handled exclusively by PayPal. We do not store or access your full payment card details.
- Shop platform: WPeStore (or current equivalent) supports our online shop.
- Hosting/CDN/Analytics: Standard providers (e.g., for site delivery and basic traffic stats).
- Social media: We may use Facebook/Instagram for posts and targeted ads (based on anonymous demographics or site cookies).
We select partners that respect privacy. Some (like Keap) may process data in the US; we rely on their standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions for international transfers. We are not responsible for third-party practices beyond our instructions.
5. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies for essential site functions, analytics, and (optionally) advertising. A cookie banner may appear for consent where required. You can manage preferences via your browser settings or our banner. For more details, see our Cookie Policy (link to be added if you create a separate page).
6. Data Retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary:
- Newsletter subscribers: Until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
- Customers/members: As needed for order fulfillment, returns, or membership (typically up to 6 years for tax/legal reasons, or until deletion request).
- Analytics/cookies: Shorter periods (e.g., 14–26 months for aggregated data).
7. Your Privacy Rights
You have the right to:
- Request we correct or delete your personal data.
- Opt out of/unsubscribe from newsletters or marketing.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Request data portability (where applicable).
- Withdraw consent.
For California residents (CCPA/CPRA): We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You may request to know, delete, or opt out via the contact below. We will not discriminate against you for exercising rights.
