Origin · Privacy Policy

What This Policy Covers

This is the privacy policy for Origin Financial (legally Blend Financial Inc.), a financial services company based in Boston, MA. It explains what personal data they collect, how they use it, who they share it with, and what rights you have. It applies to their websites, mobile apps, and services.

What They Collect and Why

Origin collects a broad range of personal data — including sensitive financial information, government IDs, and even biometric data — depending on which services you use. They gather data directly from you (when you sign up or contact them), automatically via cookies and tracking technologies when you browse their site, and from third parties like affiliates, social media networks, and background check providers (if you apply for a job). They use your data primarily to provide services, run analytics, send marketing (including from business partners), and detect fraud.

Who Gets Your Data

Your data may be shared with corporate affiliates, service providers, third-party contest/promotion partners, and potential acquirers of the company — even during deal negotiations. If you use their "Partner Access" feature, your data goes to whichever partner you designate, and that partner's own privacy rules apply, not Origin's. Your data may also be transferred internationally, including to countries with weaker privacy protections than your home country.

Your Rights and How to Exercise Them

Depending on where you live, you can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data. You can opt out of targeted advertising via cookie settings, and unsubscribe from promotional emails or texts at any time. California residents have additional rights under state law, including the right to know what sensitive data is collected and to opt out of data "sharing" for behavioral advertising. To make a request, email hereforyou@useorigin.com. Note that some rights are limited — for example, they may keep certain data to comply with legal obligations, including SEC record-keeping rules that apply to their investment advisory subsidiary.
