Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 1, 2025
Your privacy is very important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Originalso, LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards personal information and intangible asset submissions (“Originals”) in connection with the Originals registry and the Originals Community Agreement. By using our services, you consent to the practices described below.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following categories of information:
- Account & Contact Data: name, email, billing address, and payment information.
- Originals Submissions: descriptions, files, media, metadata, and any intangible assets registered as Originals (e.g., persona, likeness, creative works, inventions, datasets, domains, trademarks, or other intangibles).
- Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and usage logs.
- Payment & Transaction Data: processed through trusted third-party payment providers.
2. How We Use Information
We collect and use information to:
- Register, host, and manage Originals.
- Publish Originals for inspection by community members (unless filed as unpublished trade secrets).
- Facilitate provenance, ownership, and contractual enforceability of Originals.
- Process payments, renewals, and updates.
- Provide customer support, improve or market services, and maintain security.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce the Originals Community Agreement.
3. Disclosure of Information
We may share or disclose information as follows:
- Community Members: Published Originals are viewable by members who agree to the Originals Community Agreement.
- Courts & Arbitrators: Originals may be accessed by adjudicators or arbitrators for enforcement purposes.
- Service Providers: We share limited information with hosting, payment, legal, and security providers under contractual safeguards.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, or court order.
- No Sale of Personal Data: We do not sell personal information to third parties.
4. Data Retention
- Originals and associated metadata are retained as long as they remain active or are necessary to establish provenance.
- Inactive or abandoned Originals may be archived but marked accordingly.
- Some records may be preserved indefinitely for contractual enforceability, unless deletion is required by law.
5. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:
- Access, correct, or update your personal information.
- Request deletion of your personal information (subject to obligations under the Originals Community Agreement).
- Limit publication of certain submissions (e.g., unpublished trade secrets).

Requests can be made by contacting us at: privacy@originalso.com.
6. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to safeguard personal data and Originals, including:
- Encryption in transit and at rest.
- Access controls and authentication requirements.
- Redundant backups and secure hosting systems.
While no system is 100% secure, we are committed to protecting your data against loss, theft, or unauthorized access.
7. International Data Transfers
Because Originals are intended for worldwide contractual enforceability and communications are international, your information may be transferred, stored, or processed in jurisdictions outside your country of residence. By using our services, you consent to such transfers subject to applicable law.
8. Disclaimer
Originals are contractual protections and not substitutes for government-issued intellectual property rights. We do not guarantee enforceability in every jurisdiction. Users are encouraged to seek independent legal advice before registering an Original.
9. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal requirements. Updates will be posted with a new Effective Date.
