Privacy Policy

This website has no accounts, no database and no login. We only receive information you deliberately send us:

• Messages you send us. The contact form on this site opens your own email app with a pre-filled message. Nothing is stored on this website — the name, email address and message reach us only if you press send in your email client.
• Anything you include in that email — links to your work, social handles, or files you attach.

We don't ask for payment details, we don't run advertising trackers on this site, and we don't build profiles of visitors. We don't sell or rent anyone's information.

This site does not set marketing or advertising cookies. Our hosting provider may log basic technical request data (such as IP address and browser type) to serve pages and keep the site secure.

We use what you send us for one purpose: to reply, and to discuss a possible shoutout, collaboration or edit. If we feature your work, we do that only with your agreement, and your name stays on the work.

Email you send us is handled by our email provider. This site links out to Instagram; once you follow that link, Instagram's own privacy policy applies. We have no control over what those platforms collect.

We keep correspondence for as long as it's useful to the conversation. You can ask us at any time to delete the emails and details you've sent, or to tell you what we hold, by writing to hello@actualorigin.com. We'll act on that request promptly.

This site isn't intended for children under 13. If you're under 18, please have a parent or guardian involved before contacting us about a collaboration.

If our practices change, we'll update this page and the date above. Questions go to hello@actualorigin.com.
