This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which OrbitKit LLC collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a "User") of the https://www.orbitkit.com/ website ("Site"). This privacy policy applies to the Site and all products and services offered by OrbitKit LLC.

Personal identification information

We may collect personal identification information from Users in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit our site, register on the site, place an order, subscribe to the newsletter, respond to a survey, fill out a form, and in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we make available on our Site. Users may be asked for, as appropriate, name, email address, mailing address, phone number, credit card information. Users may, however, visit our Site anonymously. We will collect personal identification information from Users only if they voluntarily submit such... are you actually reading any of this?

Seriously?

That's how almost every Privacy Policy on the internet begins.  They're all copy-pasted from boilerplate forms you can download from free legal websites ("by lawyers, for lawyers") and if they have a purpose, it's certainly not to inform the reader.  We think this is absurd.  Since we've sent our attorney to Las Vegas for the weekend, he can't stop us from presenting:

OrbitKit's No-Nonsense, Plain English Privacy Policy (For Humans!)

What you should know...

...if you're just visiting this website

  • OrbitKit uses Google Analytics to give us basic information like what percentage of our users come from Switzerland, how many are still suffering with Internet Explorer, and what websites or search terms referred you to us.  It also gives us a rough idea of how many unique users come to our site vs. how many page views are just one guy clicking reload over and over to see if the Privacy Policy has changed.  There are cookies involved, but beyond that we don't really know how it works. If you're looking for some "effective" bedtime reading, you can find out more about Google Analytics here.

Should you be concerned? In our opinion, no. Half of the websites on the internet use Google Analytics because it provides pretty graphs and, well, it's free.  It doesn't tell us anything personal about you like your hair color or whether you are wearing boxers or panties.  Google might be able to figure that stuff out, but they don't tell us.  If you don't log into OrbitKit, we still won't know who you are.  Not even if you are Swiss.

  • OrbitKit may store a referral code in a cookie. This referral code helps us give credit to whoever referred you to us. This code is not shared with anyone else.

...if you log in

OrbitKit uses Google authentication. If you log in, we remember your email address and a unique id that Google gives us.

  • OrbitKit will sometimes store cookies to help customize the user interface.  For example, to remember the sort order of your designs.

...if you create an Organization

We remember your name, the name of the Organization, and of course every piece of data that you upload to the organization. Your designs, where you've published them to, etc. You can delete this data in the UI, if you so choose.

Logging

In order to help us keep this service running, OrbitKit logs a lot of technical data about what it's doing at any given moment.  Most of it is barely human readable but it potentially includes everything that ever happens on this website.  We keep the data around for an unspecified period to help with debugging just in case something goes wrong.  Unless you start seeing error messages or weird behavior, it is highly unlikely that anyone will ever look at the logs generated by your activity... and if you do see error messages, please contact us!

Third Parties

Other than the parties already mentioned in this Privacy Policy, OrbitKit does not share information with third parties.  No, we won't sell your personal information to spammers.  We hate those guys.

Legaleze

Here's where the lawyers come in:  By using this site, you signify your acceptance of this policy.  If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use this website.  Simple, eh?

Changes

This Privacy Policy may change for a variety of reasons, including angry lawyers yelling at us and making us cry.  If you're really concerned about this, check frequently.  Be that reload button guy.
