We may disclose your personal data to our parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, employees and contractors for the same purposes described above. 

 

4.THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

While Origami does not sell or share personal data with third parties (other than what is necessary to facilitate the Service), this Privacy Policy only applies to personal data that Origami collects, processes and discloses and does not apply to the collection, processing and disclosure of data by third parties through third-party services, including Google, Microsoft (in particular Microsoft SharePoint), Squarespace and Hubspot which may be broader than set forth in this Privacy Policy, and that may be embedded into the Service.  In many cases, third-parties may collect personal data about your online activities over time and across different websites and services.  We strongly recommend that you read each third-party privacy policy carefully before using the Service.  Please contact us directly using the information found below if you would like to learn more about third-party data practices.

 

5.COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

The Service uses tracking technologies, such as Google Analytics, cookies and web beacons, to collect data about you, such as your IP address and device information.  Based on this data, third-parties may be able to resolve your identity across multiple devices.  This data is collected, used and disclosed in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy and the applicable third-party privacy policies.  Certain Service features may rely on tracking technologies and by declining to accept cookies or by changing certain settings on your device, you may not have access to these features.

 

6.OBTAINING, RECTIFYING AND CONTROLLING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

You may contact Origami to obtain a copy of any personal data we collect about you, the production of which may be subject to a fee as permitted by applicable law.  In addition, you may contact Origami to correct inaccurate personal data or to complete incomplete personal data.   

You may be able to opt-out of some or all of the ways in which your personal data is processed, or request the deletion of certain personal data, except where the personal data is necessary or vital for:

  • the performance of contractual obligations, such as the Origami Terms of Service (if applicable) or certain legal obligations;

  • protecting your interests or those of another person; and

  • our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third-party,

 and may do so by requesting deletion by contacting us at support@origamiconnect.com.

 

7.Data Storage and Retention

While Origami is a Canadian company, the data you provide through the Service may be stored and processed by third parties (such as Microsoft Corporation) in countries around the world, including the United States.  You are aware that Origami is a Canadian company, and you authorize Origami and third parties acting on our behalf to process your data in any country of their choosing, which may cause your data, including personal data, to be subject to privacy protections and legal rights applicable in other jurisdictions.

Your personal data is retained until you request its deletion or until Origami no longer requires such data for the purpose for which it was collected or until required to be deleted by laws applicable in your jurisdiction.  Please email us at support@origamiconnect.com to delete any personal data of yours that we hold.

 

8.DO NOT TRACK DISCLOSURE

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a web or device setting that allows you to request that receivers of personal data stop their tracking activities.  When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser or device or use alternative consumer choice mechanisms, your browser or device sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, advertising networks, plug-in providers and other web services you encounter to stop tracking your activity.  Currently, as there is no industry consensus in how to deal with DNT requests, we do not respond to DNT requests.

 

9.CALIFORNIA “SHINE THE LIGHT” RIGHT

If you are a California resident, California Civil Code 1798.83 grants you the right to request disclosure of the categories of personal information we provided to third parties, and the names and addresses of these third parties, for direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year.  If you are a California resident and would like to make this request, please contact us using the contact information set forth below.  While currently, the California “Shine the Light” right does not apply to Origami as Origami has under 20 employees, if one day, this law does apply to Origami, please note that you may only make this request once per year.

 

10.YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you are a California resident, California Civil Code Section 1798.120 permits you to opt-out of the sale and sharing of your personal information to third parties.  Currently, Origami does not sell or share your personal information to third parties and as such, no opt-out of the sale or sharing of such personal information is necessary.  Although Origami does not sell or share your personal information to third parties, Origami does provide a general opt-out right to all our users as described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.  If you have any other questions about our privacy practices, please email us at support@origamiconnect.com.

 

11.Change of Ownership or Business Transition

In the event of, or in preparation for, a change of ownership or control of Origami or a business transition such as the sale of some or all Origami’s assets, we may disclose and/or transfer your personal data to third-parties who will have the right to continue to collect and use such data in the manner set forth in this Privacy Policy.

 

12.Security

To prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or breach, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard and secure the data we collect and process, including appropriate protections for any sensitive personal data we collect.

 

13.Contact Preferences

We will communicate with you through your email address or other methods to deliver the Service to you and to respond to support requests or comments.  If you would like to unsubscribe from receiving certain types of emails we send to you, including our newsletters, you may do so by clicking a link within certain types of emails that we send to you or, if no link is available, by replying with “unsubscribe” in the email title or body.  On rare occasions, some types of email are necessary for the Service and cannot be unsubscribed from if you continue to use the Service.
