Privacy policy

What we collect

When you order or ask a question, you give us your name, your WhatsApp number, your area or delivery address, the date you need your order, and your message.

If you email us, we receive your email address and your message.

If you apply to sell with us, we receive your portfolio and the details you send.

If you create an account

We keep your email address, your display name, your preferred language and your fold progress and badges.

To keep you signed in, your browser holds a sign-in cookie for up to 30 days. It is used only for this.

Photos you share are stored with their name and note. Before upload, your photo is made smaller on your device, which also removes hidden details such as where it was taken.

Your display name is shown next to photos that appear in the gallery. Your email address is never shown.

You can change your name, delete any photo, or delete your whole account at any time on your account page. Deleting your account deletes your details, progress and photos.

What stays in your browser

Your cart is saved only in your own browser, on your device. It is not sent to us until you choose to send it on WhatsApp. Clearing your browser data removes it.

If you use Folds without an account, your scores, progress and badges are saved only in your browser, on your device. They are not sent to us, and you can reset them on the My badges page.

If your browser is set to Arabic, English pages open in Arabic. If you choose a language with the switch at the top of the page, a small cookie remembers your choice for a year.

This website does not use cookies for tracking or advertising, and does not use analytics. The only cookies are the sign-in cookie described above and the language choice.

Why we use it

We use your information only to reply to you, prepare and deliver your order, arrange payment, run workshops you book, and keep basic records of our sales. We do not sell it.

Services we rely on

Messages you send us on WhatsApp are handled by WhatsApp (Meta).

Emails to our addresses are forwarded by Cloudflare to our Gmail inbox (Google).

This website is hosted by Cloudflare, which may briefly process technical information such as your IP address to deliver and protect the site. Accounts and shared photos are stored with Cloudflare.

Sign-in codes are emailed to you by Resend.

The fonts on this website are loaded from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google when you open a page.

Some of these services store and process information outside Kuwait.

Each of these services handles information under its own privacy policy.

How long we keep it

We keep order details for two years for our records, then delete them. You can ask us to delete your messages and details sooner, unless we need them for an open order.

Your account is kept until you delete it. Photos we do not approve are deleted when we review them.

Your choices

You can ask us what information we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. Write to hello@theorigamizone.com or message us on WhatsApp.

Children

Workshops for children are booked by a parent or guardian, who gives us any details we need.

Accounts are for people aged 13 or older. Younger children can share their folds through a parent's or guardian's account.
