Orbit Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 21, 2026
Orbit is an AI task-planning service that turns a requested outcome into a tracked plan, reminders, notes, approvals, and activity history.
Information we collect
We collect the name and email address you provide for your account, task requests, AI-generated plans, notes, reminders, approval decisions, activity history, and support requests. If future connectors are added, their data and permissions will be disclosed before connection.
AI processing
Task text is sent from the Orbit server to OpenAI when AI planning is available. OpenAI returns a structured task plan. The OpenAI API credential is kept on the server and is not embedded in the app.
External actions
Orbit is designed to require explicit approval before consequential external actions. The current production service can create plans, reminders, notes, and approvals; external action connectors may not be configured. An approval does not mean a third-party action occurred unless the app reports successful execution through a configured connector.
Notifications and Apple purchases
With your permission, reminder details are scheduled on your device. Notification actions are stored on the device until the server confirms them. We store a device installation identifier, notification preferences and timezone. When you use Apple subscriptions, Apple processes payment; Orbit verifies signed purchase records and stores subscription identifiers, dates and status. Orbit does not receive your payment-card details.
Optional nearby searches
When you choose Use my approximate location for a nearby search, Orbit asks for location permission on your device. You can decline and enter a city or ZIP code instead. Orbit requests a single location while the app is open; it does not track your location in the background. Even if your device supplies a precise position, Orbit rounds its latitude and longitude to two decimal places before sending them to the Orbit server. When you confirm a search, that approximate area is sent to OpenAI to find nearby public businesses and sources.
The coordinates stay temporarily in memory for that request. Orbit does not save them in your profile, conversation, tasks, browser storage, or its database. Reloading the app clears them; an unfinished nearby search may ask you to share again. Saved search results can include public business addresses and source links. You can stop sharing, enter a city instead, or change Orbit location permission in your device settings. We do not sell personal information or share your device coordinates with recommended businesses.
How information is used and shared
We use information to provide task planning, account security, reminders, approvals, history, troubleshooting, and support. We may use hosting, AI, and other infrastructure providers to operate the service. Information is not shared with a connected third party unless the relevant feature is configured and used.
Retention and deletion
You can delete your account from Account > Delete account. Deleting the account removes the account and associated tasks, steps, notes, reminders, approvals, and activity records from the active Orbit database through the account-deletion process. Apple transaction records may be retained without an active account association to prevent purchase replay and process billing events. Support requests may be retained as needed to resolve the request and maintain support/security records.
Security
Production traffic uses HTTPS and server-side authentication. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Children
Orbit is not designed for children under 13.
Changes
We may update this policy as the product changes. The updated date on this page will identify the current version.
Questions
Use Orbit Support for privacy or support questions.
Natural voice and telephone reminders
Orbit sends the text of spoken replies to OpenAI to generate its AI voice. The API credential stays on the server. Orbit does not retain generated audio files. Daily usage counters limit voice requests. When you request telephone reminders, Orbit stores your verified number, selected channels, consent and delivery status. Twilio receives your number to verify it and deliver the texts or calls you select. Telephone reminders use generic wording; private task details stay in Orbit. You can revoke texts or calls in Profile > Notifications, remove your phone number, or reply STOP to texts. A call ending does not acknowledge a reminder; press 1 during the call or acknowledge it in Orbit. Rate-limit records expire after seven days.
SMS privacy
Orbit uses your mobile number to verify it and send only the reminder texts you choose. SMS opt-in data and consent are not sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. Your consent does not authorize another business to text you. Service providers such as Twilio process the phone number and delivery information only as needed to verify your number, deliver messages, honor opt-outs, and operate or secure this service. You can stop reminder texts by replying STOP, disabling SMS in Profile > Notifications, or removing your number. For assistance, reply HELP or use Orbit Support. See the SMS terms.
Voice requests
Orbit uses the microphone only after you tap Speak. Speech is recognized on your device when supported; otherwise Apple may process it through its speech recognition service. The resulting text is sent to the Orbit server to understand your request. Orbit does not save an audio recording. You review and confirm the action before it is saved. Recording stops when you cancel, finish, or leave the app.
