- Orbit app is a real-time satellite tracker using augmented reality to display satellites, planets, constellations, and debris in the sky via camera view.
- Privacy is prioritized: no account or personal information required; camera and location data are processed on-device and not stored or transmitted.
- Collected data includes anonymous diagnostics, performance, crash logs, and usage signals for app improvement, with no tracking across apps or websites.
- Optional AI chatbot uses Google's Gemini API for space-related queries, sending typed messages to Google, with heavy guardrails to avoid personal data collection.
- No third-party advertising or tracking; children's privacy is protected with no personal data collection from children, and policy changes will be updated on the app page.
