We're Not Creepy, Promise

Privacy policies are usually 47 pages of legal jargon. Ours is actually readable.

The TL;DR (Because We Respect Your Time)

We don't sell your data. We don't track you across the web. We don't run ads. Your conversations are yours. This policy explains exactly what we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it. Spoiler: we collect way less than you think.

What We Actually Collect (It's Boring, We Promise)

Email & Username: So you can log in and we can email you if something breaks. We keep this until you delete your account.

Hashed Password: We hash it with bcrypt so even we can't see it. Kept until you delete your account.

Usage Stats: How many requests you make, so we can prevent abuse and keep the service running. Rolling 30-day window.

Last IP Address: For security and abuse detection. Gets overwritten every time you log in.

Conversation History: So the AI remembers what you talked about 5 minutes ago. You can clear this anytime.

The "We're Not Evil" List

✗We don't sell your data. If someone offers us money for it, we'll laugh and forward the email to our "Creepy Requests" folder.
✗We don't run ads. No tracking pixels. No "partners" watching your every move.
✗We don't share your conversations with AI providers beyond what's needed to answer your question.
✗We don't train AI models on your private data. Your weird 3AM questions are safe.
✗We don't use browser fingerprinting or other surveillance-capitalism nonsense.

Cookies (The Digital Kind, Not Chocolate Chip)

We use exactly 2 cookies. That's it. No cookie banners that take up half your screen.

•Session Cookie: Keeps you logged in. It's httpOnly and secure, which is nerd-speak for "very safe."
•Preference Cookie: Remembers if you like dark mode. Optional and harmless.

No third-party analytics. No ad trackers. No "we value your privacy" lies.

What Happens When You Ask a Question

Here's the full journey of your prompt:

You type something into Orbis
It goes to our API (orbis-api.ventryx.xyz)
We send it to the AI model you selected
The AI responds
We show you the response
We store the conversation temporarily so the AI remembers context

We don't use your conversations to train models or sell insights to advertisers. Your "how do I tell my boss I accidentally deleted the database" questions are safe with us.

Your Data, Your Rules

You're in control. Here's what you can do:

✓Delete Your Account: Settings → Delete Account. Poof. Gone in 30 days. We'll miss you.
✓Export Your Data: Email us and we'll send you everything we have. It won't be much.
✓Clear Conversations: Delete individual chats or nuke everything from your dashboard.
✓Ask Questions: Email [email protected] and we'll tell you exactly what we have.

How We Keep Your Stuff Safe

•Passwords are hashed with bcrypt (we literally can't see them even if we wanted to)
•Everything uses HTTPS/TLS encryption (the little lock icon in your browser)
•Database hosted on Neon Postgres with encryption at rest (fancy security stuff)
•JWT-based sessions with httpOnly, secure cookies (more fancy security stuff)
•Regular security audits and updates (we actually care about this)

If We Ever Change This Policy

We'll email you and put a big banner on the site. Major changes will require you to re-accept the terms. We won't pull a sneaky "we updated our privacy policy to sell your data" move. If we ever become evil, you'll know.

The "We're Actually Human" Reminder

We built Orbis because we wanted a tool that respects users. We're not a surveillance company. We're not trying to extract every drop of data from you. We just want to build something useful and trustworthy. If you have questions, concerns, or just want to say hi, email us at [email protected]. We're real humans and we actually read our emails (unlike most companies).
