If your answers show that we are not a good fit, we may not follow up. If you think your answers were misjudged, write to us and a person will review them.
Kindly answer every question accurately. Inaccurate answers affect your application. If you do not give the details marked required, we cannot answer your request.
03Why we use it
We use your information for the purposes below. For the first four, we rely on your consent, which you give by ticking the box on the form. For the last four, we rely on our legitimate interest in running a safe and effective business, or on a legal duty, as the law allows. Two of those four, improving our pages and campaigns and showing ORIGIN ads to visitors, are the exception: we do them only if you allow analytics or advertising in the cookie box.
- Review your request. We read your answers and decide whether ORIGIN and your team are a good fit.
- Contact you. We call or email you about your request and arrange calls and meetings.
- Send you ORIGIN news and offers. Occasional emails about our work, ideas and services.
- Show you ORIGIN ads. We use your details to build audiences on platforms such as Instagram and LinkedIn, so we can show you ORIGIN ads.
- Keep the form safe. We block spam, abuse and fraud.
- Improve our pages and campaigns. We measure which pages and ads lead to requests. If you allow analytics in the cookie box, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity described in section 10 help us do this. If you allow advertising, the Google tag, the Meta pixel and the LinkedIn Insight Tag help us measure our ads.
- Show ORIGIN ads to visitors who allow it. If you allow advertising in the cookie box, the Meta pixel and the LinkedIn Insight Tag in section 10 let us show ORIGIN ads again to people who visited, whether or not they sent a request. You can change your choice at any time (section 10).
- Meet legal duties. We keep records the law requires.
We do not sell your information.
04Your consent and how to withdraw it
The form has one box, and you must tick it to send your request. It reads: “I agree to the privacy policy, including contact about my request, ORIGIN news and offers, and ORIGIN ads.” By ticking it you agree that ORIGIN may use your information for the first four purposes in section 3, and you confirm that you have read this policy. You can stop news, offers and ads at any time. Your request is not affected.
How to withdraw
- Write to info@origin.global with the subject “Withdraw consent”.
- Use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any ORIGIN email.
- Use the Stop news and offers or Stop ads link in the email we send when you submit the form.
- For ads, you can also hide or remove ORIGIN ads in your settings on the platform where you see them.
You can withdraw at any time, in full or in part. You can stop news and offers, or ads, on their own. Stopping them does not affect your request. If you withdraw in full, we stop contacting you, stop sending you news and offers, and remove you from the audiences we use for ads, without undue delay. If you ask us to stop contacting you about your request, we can no longer continue with it. Withdrawing does not affect what we did with your information before you withdrew. We keep a record that you withdrew, so that we respect your choice.
06Transfers outside Saudi Arabia
Some of the providers above store or process information outside Saudi Arabia. ORIGIN team members in Lebanon, where the group is headquartered, may also access it to work on your request.
We transfer personal data outside the Kingdom only as the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law and its regulations allow, we limit what we send to what is needed, and we require our providers to protect it.
07How long we keep it
We keep your information for 36 months after you were last in touch with us: a reply, a call, a meeting or a new request. Our news emails do not restart this period. After that, we delete it or remove everything that identifies you. We keep it longer only if the law requires it, or if we need it to handle a legal claim.
The ad platforms keep visitors in our ad audiences for 365 days at most.
Microsoft Clarity keeps session recordings for 30 days, and heatmaps and recordings we save for review for 9 months. These are Microsoft’s published retention periods.
We keep a record of your consent and of any withdrawal: only your email address, the date, and what you agreed to or stopped. We keep it for as long as we need it to show that we respected your choice.
08How we keep it safe
- Your form answers travel to us over an encrypted connection.
- Only the ORIGIN team members and providers who need your information for the purposes in this policy can see it.
- Our sales workspace signs team members in and keeps their sessions encrypted.
- We use reCAPTCHA and other checks to block spam and abuse.
- Our providers are bound by contract or by their terms of service to protect your information.
No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your information, we tell you and the authority as the law requires.

These pages are for business users. They are not meant for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from children. If you think a child has sent us information, write to info@origin.global and we will delete it.
12Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our services or the law change. The date at the top shows the latest version. If a change affects how we use your information, we tell you and ask for your consent again where the law requires it.
