Privacy policy

What we collect

Origami Helper does not collect personal information such as your name, email address or location. There are no accounts.

What stays on your device

Settings such as language, sound volume and paper color, and your record of folded models (which ones, when, how many times), are stored only on your device and are never sent anywhere. They are removed when you delete the app or clear the site data in your browser.

Usage statistics

To understand how the site and app are used, we count how many times each page or screen is viewed, along with the rough source of the visit (the name of the linking site), country, device, OS and browser type, and language, in a way that does not identify anyone. We do not store IP addresses, cookies or anything that identifies your device. The counting happens within Cloudflare, which delivers the site, and nothing is sent to third-party analytics services. If your browser has Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control turned on, you are not counted.

Ads today

We currently use no third-party ad network SDKs, and nothing about your device is sent anywhere for advertising. The ad shown after you finish a model introduces our own product (AKARI Video) using an image and text bundled with the app. Opening its link takes you to an external website, where that site’s policy applies.

Future ads

To keep the app running, we plan to show ads through a third-party ad network SDK such as Google AdMob in the future. If we do, information such as your device’s advertising identifier, device and OS type, IP address and the approximate location inferred from it, and records of ad views and taps may be sent to that ad network to show ads, measure them and prevent fraud, and will be handled under that provider’s policy. Before introducing such a service we will update this policy to name the service and the information it receives, and we will ask for any consent each platform requires (such as App Tracking Transparency permission on iOS, or consent required in your region).

Children

Origami Helper is made to be used by children too. If we introduce a third-party ad network, we will follow each app store’s rules for children and families (such as the App Store Kids category and the Google Play Families policy) and applicable children’s privacy laws. Where the app is treated as directed to children, we will use child-directed ad settings, such as turning off ads based on a user’s interests or behavior (behavioral targeting).

Network

All model data is bundled with the app, and folding, viewing and printing all happen on your device. The web version is delivered through Cloudflare, which may handle standard delivery logs (such as IP addresses).

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and its revision date.
