Last Revised: April 20, 2026

Origin Research Limited ("Company", "we", or "us") is the operator of any website published by the Company, including ritual.net, ritualvisualized.com, and altar.ritual.net (the "Websites"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use and disclose information about you when you use the Websites, as well as any of our applications, services, tools and features, or when you otherwise interact with us (collectively, the "Services"). For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, "you" and "your" means you as the user of the Services.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using any of the Services, you agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use or access the Services.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time, in which case we will update the "Last Revised" date at the top of this Privacy Policy, post the updated version on our Services and take any other steps required by applicable law. Updates to our Privacy Policy will apply only to information collected after the date of the change. Please check the Website regularly for notices of changes to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to any updates to this Privacy Policy, please do not continue to use or access the Services.

The Information We Collect and Use

When you use or access the Services, we collect certain information about you from different sources. In addition to the specific uses described below, we may use any of the information described in this section to provide and improve the Services and our products offerings and to maintain our business relationship, including by enhancing the safety and security of our Services (e.g., troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, system maintenance, reporting), training the models that power our Services, providing customer support, sending service and other communications, monitoring and analyzing trends, conducting internal research and development, complying with applicable legal obligations, enforcing any applicable terms of service, and protecting the Services, our rights, and the rights of our employees, users or other individuals.

Information You Provide to Us

Some features of the Services may require you to directly provide certain information. You may elect not to provide this information but doing so may prevent you from using or accessing these features. Information that you directly submit through our Services includes:

  • Contact information, such as your email address. We collect this information to provide Services to you and communicate with you (such as to respond to your interactions with us by email to hello@ritual.net or tell you about products or services that may be of interest).
  • Recruitment and applicant information, such as your name, email, resume/CV, skills, employment history, public on-chain contributions, and other information related to your application to review your job application and communicate with you. We collect this information to assess your qualifications, communicate with you during the recruitment process, and manage hiring decisions.
  • Other information you choose to provide in communications with us, such as your name, email address and other information you provide. We use this information to respond to your queries, manage our relationship with you and improve our customer service and product offerings.

Information Collected Automatically

We, and third parties on our behalf, automatically collect certain information about your interactions with the Services and emails, including through cookies, session replay technology, and other tracking technologies ("Tracking Technologies"). We collect and use this information to tailor your experience with the Services, run analytics, de-bug, better understand user interactions with and improve the Services and enable us to engage in more personalized advertising. For further information on how we use Tracking Technologies and your choices, see the section below, "Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies".

Information Collected From Other Sources

We obtain information about you from outside sources, including information we receive from social media platforms, such as when you interact with us on Discord or X (formerly Twitter), which we use to communicate with you and personalize our Services. Any information received from outside sources that we use will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy. For more information, please see "Third Party Websites and Materials" below.

How We Disclose Your Information

In certain circumstances, we disclose your information with third parties, including:

  • To vendors or other service providers who help us provide the Services and operate our business, including for cloud storage, system administration, security, customer relationship management, management of our referral program, recruiting purposes, marketing communications, data analytics and the deployment of Tracking Technologies.
  • With our affiliates. We may share your personal information with companies within our corporate family.
  • With third parties. We may share personal information with third parties, such as the Ritual Foundation, to enable a more personalized advertising experience.
  • With professional advisors. We may also share your personal information with professional advisors such as auditors, law firms, or accounting firms.
  • With regulators, law enforcement agencies, public authorities, or any other relevant organizations for legal and security reasons, or as required by law. We may share your personal information: (i) to comply with applicable law or any obligations thereunder, including cooperation with law enforcement, judicial orders, and regulatory inquiries; (ii) to ensure the safety and security, of us, our users, a third party or the public; (iii) to exercise or defend legal claims; and (iv) to enforce our terms and conditions, or to comply with other applicable terms of service or agreements.
  • With a prospective buyer, seller, new owner, or other relevant third party in connection with an asset sale or purchase, a share sale, purchase or merger, bankruptcy, or other business transaction or re-organization. We may share your personal information while negotiating or in relation to a change of corporate control such as a restructuring, merger, or sale of our assets.
  • With other third parties, at your direction. We may share your information with third parties whom you request or direct us to disclose information.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technology

We use Tracking Technologies, including Google Analytics and Amplitude's session replay technology, to collect information about your browsing activities, including session recordings and information about your browsing over time and across different websites following your use of our Services. Such information includes, but is not limited to:

  • Device Information, such as device type, operating system, screen size, unique device identifier, Internet protocol (IP) address, preferred language and browser information.
  • Location information, such as approximate location and, if you choose to provide it, precise geolocation.
  • Other information regarding your interaction with the Services, such as session recordings, browser type, log data, date and time stamps, emails you have opened and clickstream data (e.g., page requests, page views, how much time is spent on a page, content viewed or interacted with, text entered, etc.).

Many browsers accept Tracking Technologies automatically, but you may be able to control the way in which your devices permit the use of Tracking Technologies. If you so choose, you may block or delete certain Tracking Technologies from your browser; however, blocking or deleting Tracking Technologies may cause some of the Services, including general functionality, to work incorrectly. Your browser settings may also allow you to transmit a "Do Not Track". Like many websites, our Websites are not designed to respond to this signal. If, however, you want to opt out of tracking by Google Analytics, you can download and install a plug-in available here.

Third Party Websites and Materials

Our Websites may contain links to other online platforms, plug-ins or other applications operated by third parties. For example, certain features of the Services allow you to initiate interactions between the Services and third-party services or platforms, such as Discord or X (formerly Twitter) that allow you to access our pages on third-party platforms, and from there "like" or "share" our content. Use of these features may allow a third party to collect and/or use your information.

We do not control such other sites or applications, and are not responsible for their content, their privacy policies, or their use of your information. Information you provide on public or semi-public venues, including information you share on third-party social networking platforms, may also be viewable by other users of the Websites and/or users of those third-party online platforms without limitation as to its use by us or by a third party. Our inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply any endorsement of the content on such platforms or of their owners or operators except as disclosed on the Websites. We expressly disclaim any and all liability for the actions of third parties, including but without limitation to actions relating to the use and/or disclosure of personal information by third parties. Any information submitted by you directly to these third parties is subject to that third party's privacy policy.

Children

Our Websites and Services are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected information from a child, in particular children under 18 years of age, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to delete such information from our database. If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with their personal information, you may contact us using the below information to request that it be deleted.

Data Security and Retention

Please note that any information you send to us electronically, while using the Services or otherwise interacting with us, may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to send us sensitive or confidential information. Despite our reasonable efforts, no security measures are impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee "perfect security."

We retain your information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy. When determining the length of time to retain your information, we consider various criteria, including whether we need the information to continue to provide you the Services, assess your employment application or support your employment with us (if your application is successful), resolve a dispute, enforce our contractual agreements, prevent harm, promote safety, security and integrity, or protect ourselves, including our rights, property or products.
