Orbit Privacy Notice

Effective Date: 4 October 2026 Last Updated: 4 October 2026

This notice covers Orbit by DiscoverWorthy, our phone app for keeping track of the people you meet and the work they bring. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy and adds to it. Everything in that policy still applies; where this notice is more specific about Orbit, this notice governs.

Orbit is different from the rest of DiscoverWorthy in one important way: most of what you put into it is about other people, the people you meet. So this notice says plainly what happens to that, as well as to your own details.

1. What Orbit keeps

About you

• your email address, which is how you sign in;
• your name, if your DiscoverWorthy account has one;
• which DiscoverWorthy businesses you belong to, if any;
• a record that you agreed to our terms, and when;
• your answers in Keeper's game (which questions you got right), so it can ask the ones you missed again and count your streak;
• if you turn reminders on: your phone's notification token, its time zone, and which reminders you want.

About the people you tell Keeper about

Whatever you choose to tell Keeper, for example:

• their name, and other names you call them by;
• how they connect to you and to each other ("Lisa is Tom's wife", "Tom coaches Jack's team");
• what you know about them: their trade, what they want, a birthday, family, the teams they follow, notes;
• promises and favours between you ("Angelo will update me on Monday", "Tom helped me move house"), and when they're due;
• a phone number or email address, if you type one in, or if Keeper finds them in your phone's contacts (section 3);
• the sentences themselves, as you said or typed them, so you can look back at "Keeper's book" and see where each detail came from.

About work you are chasing

If what you tell Keeper includes work someone wants done (a quote, a job, a price), a deal is created in your business's sales pipeline in DiscoverWorthy, and you can start a quote for it. Those belong to the business, not to Orbit; see section 6.

2. You are responsible for what you record about other people

The people you tell Keeper about don't know you are making notes about them, and they haven't agreed to it. Please record only what you would be comfortable for them to see, and only for keeping in touch and doing business with them. Don't record sensitive details (health, religion, politics, sexuality, criminal record and the like) unless you have a genuine need and their agreement.

For the details you record about other people, you decide what goes in and why; we hold it for you and act on your instructions (you are the controller and we are your processor). We don't use it for DiscoverWorthy's own purposes, we never contact those people on our own account, and we never combine your book with anyone else's.

If someone asks you to remove what you hold about them, you can do that yourself: open their page and choose "Remove from my orbit". If someone contacts us directly, we will pass the request to you, or help them as the law requires.

3. Your phone's contacts

Orbit can look up the people you mention in your phone's contacts, so it can add their number and email for you. It asks first, with its own explanation and then your phone's, and works fine if you say no. You can turn it off in Settings at any time.

When it's on, your phone does the looking up, on the phone. Only the contacts whose names match a name in what you just said or typed are sent with that sentence (at most 15), and only their name, phone number, email address, company, and your phone's own reference for the contact, so the next mention goes straight to the same person. Your contact list itself is never uploaded, copied or kept.

4. Your voice

When you tap the button to talk, your phone turns what you say into words. Orbit asks the phone to do this on the phone itself, and on most current phones it does. On some phones (older iPhones, or Android phones without the offline speech pack) the phone's own speech service (Apple's or Google's, the same one the keyboard's microphone uses) may do the hearing instead, under that company's terms.

Either way, Orbit never sends your voice to us and never keeps a recording. Only the words reach DiscoverWorthy. You can always type instead.

Orbit asks for the microphone only when you first tap to talk. Say no, and the keyboard does the same job.

5. How Orbit understands what you say

The words you say or type are sent, encrypted, to our server. To work out who you mean, how they connect and what you know about them, we pass the sentence, together with the names of people already in your book that it might be about, to Azure OpenAI, a service run by Microsoft in its Australia East region. When you Ask Keeper a question, we send the question and only the people it is about.

When you ask Parley to write a quote, we send Azure OpenAI a brief of the job: the customer's name and contact details, what they want, the figure and date you mentioned, the sentences you said about the job, and your business's own products and prices. We leave out anything personal that isn't about the job, such as family or birthdays.

Microsoft processes this for us and does not use it to train its models or for any purpose of its own. Questions you ask Keeper are answered and not kept.

Keeper's game makes its questions from your book on our server. Nothing is sent to Azure OpenAI for it.

There are no humans reading your book. Our staff look at it only if you ask us to help with a problem, or if the law requires it.

6. What reaches your business, and only when you say so

Your book is private to you. Nobody else in your business can see it: not your staff, not your business partner, not us.

Something crosses into your business's DiscoverWorthy records only when you have picked that business in Orbit (it starts on "Personal", where nothing crosses), and only in these ways:

• You add a person to the business ("Add to {business}" on their page). Then their name, phone, email, the business they run, what they do and what they want go across, as a customer, partner or supplier record.
• You tell Keeper about work someone wants done. Then a deal goes into the business's pipeline, with the person's name.
• You tell Keeper you met, rang, emailed or messaged someone who is already a contact in the business. Then that contact's activity shows the kind of contact, the date and a short note about the business side only.
• You make a promise to someone who is a contact in the business, or they make one to you ("I'll send Tom the quote by Friday"). Then it becomes a follow-up task on that contact, assigned to you.
• You start and send a quote. The quote is the business's, and sending it emails or texts it to the customer, as quotes sent from DiscoverWorthy always do.

How people connect to each other, their family, birthdays, favours and your personal notes never go across. The business never learns your book exists.

Once there, those records belong to the business and are covered by our main Privacy Policy, like any other customer record. Deleting your Orbit book (section 10) does not delete them; delete them in DiscoverWorthy if you want them gone.

7. Reminders

If you turn reminders on, Orbit can remind you on your phone's lock screen: what's owed or due today and birthdays in the morning, keeping your game streak going in the evening, and someone you haven't mentioned in a while on Saturdays. Each kind has its own switch in Settings, and your phone's settings can turn them all off.

To deliver them we keep your phone's notification token and time zone, and send the reminder through Apple Push Notification service (iPhone) or Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google, Android). The reminder's words, such as a person's name and what's owed, pass through Apple's or Google's service to reach your phone.

8. Where it is stored, and who else is involved

Everything Orbit keeps is stored by Microsoft Azure in Australia (the Australia East region), encrypted at rest, and sent between your phone and us only over encrypted connections (HTTPS).

The other services involved are:

• Microsoft Azure: storage and hosting, and Azure OpenAI as described in section 5;
• Apple or Google: your phone's own speech service if it uses one (section 4), and Apple Push Notification service or Firebase Cloud Messaging for reminders (section 7);
• our email provider (Microsoft Azure Communication Services): to send you your sign-in code, and quotes or emails you choose to send;
• our text message provider (Twilio): only to send a quote by text when you choose to.

We never sell anything Orbit keeps, and never share it with advertisers or data brokers.

9. What Orbit does not do

• No advertising, and no advertising identifier.
• No tracking across other apps or websites.
• No analytics or crash-reporting services.
• No access to your photos or location. Your contacts are used only as described in section 3. The Call, Text and Email buttons hand a number or address to your phone's own apps.

Your sign-in is held in the phone's secure keystore (the Keychain on iPhone). Orbit keeps a copy of what it last showed you on the phone, and any sentence still waiting to be sent, so it keeps working with a poor signal. Signing out or deleting the app removes them.

10. Trying Orbit without an account

"Look around first" on the sign-in screen opens a demo with a made-up business and made-up people. It runs entirely on the phone and holds no sign-in at all, so it cannot reach our servers. It never reads your contacts and never registers for reminders. Nothing you do in the demo is sent anywhere.

11. Deleting your data

You can delete everything yourself, in the app, at any time: Settings, then

• "Delete everything Orbit knows": every person, connection, note, promise, game answer and sentence in your book, gone for good. Your DiscoverWorthy account, and any business, stay.
• "Delete my account": your whole account. A business you made in Orbit and run on your own goes with it. If you belong to a business other people work in, Orbit tells you which one first, and nothing is deleted until you've sorted that out.

Both ask you to type your email address to confirm. Deletion is immediate and permanent; we cannot bring it back. Copies in our encrypted backups age out within 7 days.

You can also remove a single person ("Remove from my orbit"), a single connection or detail (the ✕ beside it), a promise ("Not right"), or take back the last thing you said ("Take it back").

Can't get into the app? Email support@discoverworthy.com from the address you sign in with and ask us to delete your Orbit data or your account. We'll confirm when it's done.

12. How long we keep it

Until you delete it. Orbit is a book you keep for years, so we don't throw it away on a timer. If you delete your account, everything goes with it as described above.

13. Your rights, and how to reach us

Your rights (to see, correct or delete what we hold about you, and to complain) and how to use them are as set out in the Privacy Policy. Questions about Orbit can go to support@discoverworthy.com.
