Last updated: 8 November 2026. This policy covers Origami Garden 1.1 and later versions.
The short version
- No account, no ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking.
- Your hand movements and your room's layout are used on your headset only, while you play. The app doesn't record, save or send them, and it doesn't use the microphone.
- The app keeps three things on your headset: the paper you picked, which models you have folded, and whether the sound is on.
- The only data the app itself sends is the anonymous hardware report of Unity, the engine it is made with. It says nothing about you, your room or what you fold.
Who is responsible
Origami Garden is made by Robert Wetzold Studios (Robert Wetzold), who is responsible for the app under data protection law. You can reach us at support@wetzold.com. Our postal address is in the Impressum.
What the app uses on your headset
Hand tracking
When you use your hands, Meta Horizon OS tracks your hands and fingers and tells the app where they are. The app uses this only in the moment: to see a finger touch a tile or a model, a hand resting on the Next tile, or a pinch carrying the tray. It doesn't record, save or send your hand data.
Where you look
You can go on by looking at the Next tile for a moment. For this the app uses only the direction your headset faces, in the moment. It doesn't track your eyes and saves nothing about where you looked.
Your room's layout (spatial data)
If you allow it, the app reads the layout you created in your headset's Space Setup to find a table in your room and lay the tray on it. The layout is used on the headset only. The app doesn't save it or send it anywhere. If you don't allow access, you can still fold: the tray then floats in front of you, and you can carry it to your table yourself.
Cameras and microphone
The headset shows your surroundings by itself through passthrough. The app never receives camera images. It doesn't use the microphone and doesn't ask for access to it.
What the app saves
The app saves three settings in its own storage on your headset: the paper you picked from the stack, which models you have folded (the red seals in the garden), and whether you turned the sound off. Uninstalling the app removes them.
What the app sends
Origami Garden has no analytics or advertising of its own, no crash reporting of its own, no account and no online features. It doesn't send personal data or usage data to us.
The app is made with Unity Personal. When the app starts, the Unity engine sends a short, anonymous report about the device to Unity Technologies, such as the device model, operating system, processor, graphics and memory. Unity Personal doesn't let us switch this report off. It contains nothing about you, your room, your hands or what you fold. Like any connection over the internet, it shows Unity the headset's IP address. Unity processes the report under its own privacy policy. Our legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR: running the app on the engine it is built with.
Meta
Origami Garden is distributed through the Meta Horizon Store and runs on Meta Horizon OS. Meta processes information under its own terms and privacy policy, for example about your purchase and installation, and technical information such as crash and performance reports collected by the headset's system and by the Meta XR software built into the app. From Meta we only receive aggregated statistics, such as the number of downloads, and never information about you personally.
When you write to us
If you email us, we use your email address and your message only to answer you. We keep the conversation as long as we need it for that and delete it when you ask us to. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) and (f) GDPR: answering your request.
Children
Origami Garden collects no personal data from anyone, so it collects none from children either. There is no chat, no online play and no advertising.
Your rights
Since the app sends us nothing, we hold no data about you from using it. For emails you sent us, you have the right to access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. You can also complain to a data protection supervisory authority. Just write to support@wetzold.com.
Changes to this policy
If a future version of the app handles data differently, we will update this policy and the date at the top before that version is released. This page covers the app; our website has its own privacy policy.
