Privacy policy

Last updated: September 29, 2026

Orbit is a personal organizer desktop app. It runs only on its owner's own computer. This page explains what data Orbit uses and what happens to it.

The short version

Your Gmail data

If you connect a Gmail account, Orbit uses Google's Gmail API to show, search, send, label, archive and delete your email inside the app. It only does these things when you use those features.

A copy of your email is saved on your computer so Orbit can show and search it quickly, even offline. The sign-in key that Google gives Orbit is kept encrypted in your computer's password store. Your email only travels between your computer and Google.

What Orbit never does

Google API Services User Data Policy

Orbit's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Deleting your data

You can disconnect Gmail at any time in Orbit's settings. This deletes the saved email and the sign-in key from your computer. You can also remove Orbit's access from your Google Account at myaccount.google.com/connections.

Changes

If this policy changes, this page will be updated and the date at the top will change.
