Privacy & Terms
How Origin Ledgers AG handles personal data on this website and on the platform, and the terms on which you may use the website.
Last updated 23 September 2026Privacy
This section explains how we collect and use personal data when you visit this website, contact us, or hold an account on the Origin Ledgers platform.
Who is responsible
Origin Ledgers AG, Baarerstrasse 11, 6300 Zug, Switzerland (UID CHE-434.070.549) is responsible for personal data processed through this website and through the platform accounts it operates.
Within an emissions allowance program, the company operating the program also decides how some participant information is used, for example to admit participants and manage positions. How responsibilities are divided between that company and Origin Ledgers is set out in the program agreement.
What we collect
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Information you give us | Name, organisation, role, work email and message when you use a form on this website. During onboarding: company registration details, ownership structure, authorised signatories and the documents needed for KYC/KYB verification. |
| Information created when you use the platform | Account and wallet details, allowance and credit positions, transaction and settlement records, program records and emissions data submitted within a program. |
| Technical information | IP address, browser type, and the date and time of requests, recorded in server logs to operate and secure the website. |
Why we use it
- To answer enquiries and review-package requests, and to assess program applications.
- To verify the identity of companies and their representatives, and to meet legal, sanctions and financial-crime obligations.
- To operate programs, accounts, payments and settlement under the applicable agreements.
- To keep the website and platform secure and working, and to investigate misuse.
- To meet record-keeping and other legal obligations.
Where the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation applies, we rely on the performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, our legitimate interests in operating and securing our services, or your consent where we ask for it.
Who we share it with
- Service providers who help us run the platform, including our provider of institutional wallet and key-management infrastructure (Fireblocks), our provider of designated virtual accounts (Banking Circle), and identity-verification and hosting providers. They act on our instructions or under their own regulatory obligations.
- The company operating a program you take part in, which receives your verification status, the entity information needed for admission, and your positions within its program. It does not receive your KYC/KYB evidence.
- Authorities, where the law requires it.
We do not sell personal data and do not use it for advertising.
Public records
Program and provenance records appear on the Origin Ledgers public registry, and transaction evidence for program instruments is recorded on the public Ethereum network. These records contain no names, KYC/KYB evidence, emissions positions or commercial terms.
Wallet addresses are visible on the public network. The link between a wallet address and a company or person is held only in the private Origin Ledgers environment. Records written to a public blockchain cannot be changed or deleted, which is why we do not write personal data to them.
International transfers
Some service providers process data outside Switzerland. We transfer personal data only to countries recognised by the Swiss Federal Council as providing adequate protection, or with appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
How long we keep it
We keep personal data only as long as we need it for the purposes above. Business and transaction records are kept for the periods Swiss law requires, generally ten years. KYC/KYB records are kept for the period required by the applicable legal and regulatory obligations. Enquiries that do not lead to a relationship are deleted once they are no longer needed.
Security
We protect personal data with access controls, encryption in transit and the separation of platform functions described on Trust. The validation layer, for example, holds no participant private keys, signing secrets or custody credentials.
Your rights
You can ask to access your personal data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its use, receive it in a portable format, or withdraw consent you have given. Some rights are limited where we must keep data by law.
Send requests to contact@originledgers.com. If you hold an account, you can also raise a request through the platform. We respond within 30 days.
You may complain to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), or, where the GDPR applies, to the data protection authority in your country. Security issues can be reported to security@originledgers.com.
Cookies and storage
This website uses only storage that is technically necessary for it to work, such as remembering which section you have open. It uses no advertising cookies and no analytics tracking. If that changes, we will update this section and ask for your consent where the law requires it. Details and your choices are set out in the Cookie Policy.
Terms of use
These terms apply to your use of this website.
Scope
These terms govern use of this website only. Programs, accounts and payments are governed by their own agreements, which take precedence over this page.
Information only
The content of this website describes the Origin Ledgers infrastructure. It is not an offer, and it is not investment, legal, tax or accounting advice. Origin Ledgers does not certify the environmental integrity of any project, credit or program.
Program instruments
Allowances issued within an Origin Ledgers program are private contractual instruments. They are not government-issued regulatory allowances, and taking part in a program does not by itself discharge obligations under any regulated emissions scheme.
Illustrative content
Panels, figures and profiles marked Illustrative, Example or Dummy data show how the platform works. They are not real programs, customers, transactions or results.
Acceptable use
Do not use this website to break the law, to interfere with its operation or security, to gain access to systems or data you are not authorised to access, or to collect content by automated means without our permission.
Intellectual property
The content, design, names and logos on this website belong to Origin Ledgers AG or its licensors. You may view and share pages for your own information; any other use needs our written permission.
Third parties
Links to other websites, and the names of registries and providers, are included for information. We are not responsible for third-party content, and naming a provider is not an endorsement or partnership claim.
Liability
We work to keep this website accurate and available but do not guarantee that it is complete, current or uninterrupted. To the extent the law allows, Origin Ledgers AG is not liable for loss arising from use of this website. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for intent or gross negligence.
Changes
We may update this page. The date at the top shows when it last changed. Material changes that affect account holders are also communicated through the platform.
Governing law
