Orbit Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 3, 2026

Orbit (“we”, “our”, or “the app”) is a mobile app for couples and close friends in long-distance relationships. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices. By using Orbit, you agree to this policy.

Who we are

Orbit is operated by Roni Kriger. For privacy questions or requests, contact: krigerroni@gmail.com.

Information we collect

• Account information: email address and password when you create an account (stored and processed by our authentication provider, Supabase).
• Profile and app content: display name, connections to other users, trail entries (text, photos, voice memos), reunion plans, presence, and settings you choose in the app.
• Location (optional): if you turn on location sharing, we use your device location while the app is open to determine your city and show it to linked partners on the globe. We do not share your precise GPS coordinates with partners—only city-level information you opt into sharing. You can disable this at any time.
• Contacts (optional): if you allow access, we use contacts only to suggest people when you send an invite. We do not upload your full contact list for unrelated purposes.
• Photos and microphone (optional): only when you add a photo or voice memo to the trail.
• Device data: standard technical data needed to run the app (e.g. session tokens, crash logs if enabled by your device/OS).

How we use information

• Provide sign-in, sync, and shared features between you and people you connect with.
• Store and display your trail, horizon, and profile content.
• Improve reliability and security of the service.
• Respond to support requests.

Location sharing and geocoding

When you enable location sharing, Orbit uses your device’s location only while you are using the app to reverse-geocode your approximate position into a city name (for example, “San Francisco, USA”). That city-level information may be stored in your profile and shown to people you are linked with on the globe, so they can see where you are in general terms. Linked partners do not receive your raw latitude/longitude.

To convert coordinates into city names and to search for places when you pick a city, the app uses Apple’s on-device geocoding services (Core Location’s CLGeocoder and MapKit local search). Those requests are handled by Apple according to Apple’s privacy policy; Orbit does not send your location to a separate third-party geocoding vendor for this purpose.

City-level location data stored in your Orbit profile is shared with linked partners only when you have opted in. We do not sell location or geocoding data to third parties.

What we do not do

• We do not sell your personal information, including location or geocoding data.
• We do not use your data for third-party advertising or cross-app tracking.
• We do not require location, contacts, microphone, or photo access to use basic app features.

Where data is stored

Account and app data are stored on secure cloud infrastructure operated by Supabase (regions depend on your project configuration). Data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS).

Sharing with others

Content you add to a shared orbit (trail entries, presence, city-level location when sharing is on, etc.) is visible to users you are connected with, according to the app’s design and access rules. We do not make your private content public.

Data retention and deletion

We keep your data while your account is active. You can delete your account in the app under Settings → Delete account, which removes your account and associated cloud data, subject to our backend processing and legal obligations.

Children

Orbit is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Contact us at krigerroni@gmail.com and we will respond within a reasonable time.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version at this URL and update the “Last updated” date. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.
