Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 7, 2025
Overview
Orbit is a macOS app that displays your travel history as a live globe on your desktop. We believe in minimal data collection and maximum privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, if any, and how we use it.
The Orbit Mac App
The Orbit app stores your travel data (cities and countries you add) locally on your Mac using Apple's UserDefaults. This data never leaves your device. We do not sync, upload, or transmit your travel history to any server. The app may request Accessibility permissions if you choose to use a global keyboard shortcut; this is optional and used only for that feature.
This Website
This website is a marketing and informational site. We do not collect personal information through forms or accounts. If you contact us by email, we will use your email address only to respond to your inquiry. We may use standard web technologies (e.g., cookies for theme preference) to improve your experience; these are stored locally in your browser.
In-App Purchases
Orbit may offer in-app purchases (e.g., Pro annual or lifetime subscriptions) through Apple's StoreKit. Payment and purchase data are handled entirely by Apple. We receive only the information necessary to unlock features (e.g., purchase status). We do not store your payment details.
Analytics
We do not currently use third-party analytics on this website or in the Mac app. If we add analytics in the future, we will update this policy and use privacy-respecting options where possible.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. We may share data only when required by law or to protect our rights.
Changes
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Continued use of Orbit or this website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
Company
Orbit is a product of Alpha Portfolio Ventures, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
