Privacy Policy.

2. Proprietary Software Products & SaaS Platforms

As a product-based company, Orbit Tech Lab builds and operates a portfolio of digital software products. In delivering our proprietary web and cloud software products, we adhere to high standards of privacy and data security:

• Browser-Based & Local-First Tools: Where possible, our free web tools and utilities are engineered to process data locally in your browser. Files, formatting strings, or images you work with remain strictly in your browser session and are not uploaded or logged on remote servers.
• Cloud Platforms & SaaS Accounts: Where a product requires cloud infrastructure (such as school management, communication inboxes, or commerce software), we collect only the minimum account data required (e.g. name, business email, billing details) to deliver the service securely.
• No Monetization of User Data: We never sell, rent, or trade user data, tenant databases, or product usage telemetry to third-party data brokers or advertising networks.
• Data Isolation: In multi-tenant platforms, client databases are partitioned, encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3), and protected by strict role-based access control.

3. Client Services & Custom Engineering Engagements

In addition to building our own software products, Orbit Tech Lab operates as a trusted service-based engineering firm delivering custom software, AI integrations, mobile apps, and cloud infrastructure for client organizations:

• Strict Confidentiality & NDAs: All proprietary information, software architectures, source code repositories, and business workflows shared by clients during custom engineering engagements are protected by Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and rigorous confidentiality practices.
• Client Data Ownership: In custom software projects, our clients retain complete ownership of their intellectual property, application data, customer records, and proprietary algorithms. Orbit Tech Lab does not claim rights to, repurpose, or commercially exploit client project data.
• Secure Development Lifecycle: We follow security-by-design principles, using isolated development environments, secure credential management, encrypted code repositories, and automated vulnerability scanning throughout the delivery lifecycle.

4. Mobile Applications: Privacy-by-Design & Offline-First Architecture

Orbit Tech Lab develops and publishes multiple mobile applications on the Google Play Store. A core architectural principle across our utility, calculation, productivity, and tool apps is privacy-by-design and offline operation:

• True Offline Functionality: Many mobile applications created by Orbit Tech Lab are built to function completely offline. Core features—such as calculations, estimators, offline record keeping, document viewing, optical scanning, and utilities—run directly on your device hardware without requiring an internet connection.
• No Required Account Creation: You do not need to register, provide an email address, or create an account to use our offline mobile applications. You can use all core functions immediately upon installing the application.
• Zero Collection of Personal Information (PII): Our offline mobile apps do NOT collect, harvest, transmit, rent, or sell personal identifiers such as your real name, address, email, phone number, contacts list, or government ID.
• Zero Collection of Device & Advertising Identifiers: We do not log or track persistent hardware identifiers (IMEI, MAC address, Android ID) or Google Advertising IDs (GAID) in our offline applications.
• Zero External Server Logging: All calculations, measurements, offline ledger records, reminders, or scanned items entered by you exist solely inside your local device memory. No biometric, health, financial, or confidential data is transmitted to Orbit Tech Lab or any third-party server.
• No Third-Party Analytics or Invasive Trackers: We do not bundle invasive behavioral tracking SDKs (such as Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, Adjust, or AppsFlyer) or advertising profiling frameworks into our offline applications. No network telemetry calls are dispatched to track your usage across sessions.

5. On-Device Storage & Protection Against Cloud Extraction

All data entered, generated, or configured within Orbit Tech Lab mobile applications is preserved strictly on your physical device:

• Operating System Sandboxing: In accordance with standard Android architecture, application data is isolated inside a private sandbox accessible only by the application itself. Other applications installed on your phone cannot read or tamper with these records.
• Protection Against Automated Cloud Extraction: To ensure complete user confidentiality, our offline mobile applications are configured with protection against automated cloud extractions (such as setting android:allowBackup="false" where applicable), preventing background extraction of your local records to external third-party cloud mirrors.
• Local, User-Initiated Exports: When an application provides document or calculation export features (such as generating a PDF summary, image, or local calculation file), the export file is compiled entirely on-device. The generated file is saved locally to your device storage or handed over to the Android native share dialog solely upon your explicit instruction.

6. Device Permissions & Purpose Justification (Google Play Policy)

In compliance with Google Play Developer Program policies, Orbit Tech Lab mobile applications request only the minimum runtime permissions necessary for features initiated directly by the user. Depending on the specific tool, permissions may include:

• Camera Permission (android.permission.CAMERA):
  Purpose: Requested only when you use an optical feature, such as scanning a QR code, reading a barcode, or capturing an image for on-device document processing.
  Privacy Protection: Camera video feeds and captured images are processed entirely in real-time on your local device hardware. Orbit Tech Lab never records, streams, uploads, or stores camera frames or images on any server.
• Storage / Media Permissions (READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, or Scoped Document Pickers):
  Purpose: Requested only when you explicitly select a file or document from your device to import into the application, or when you choose to export and save a generated document (such as a PDF estimate or report) to your local storage.
  Privacy Protection: The application accesses only the individual files explicitly selected or generated by you. We never scan, index, or inspect your private photo gallery or unrelated documents.
• Notifications Permission (android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS):
  Purpose: Requested only if an application includes user-configured local reminders, calculation timers, or utility alerts.
  Privacy Protection: Notifications are scheduled locally via the Android OS Alarm Manager. No remote push notification tokens or marketing alerts are dispatched.
• Internet Access (android.permission.INTERNET):
  Purpose: In our offline utility applications, network access is either omitted entirely or used solely to allow your device's browser to open voluntary, user-initiated external web links (such as opening this Privacy Policy URL or launching your email app to reach out to developer support).

7. Data Retention, Control & "Delete All Data" Option

Because data entered into our mobile applications is stored solely on your local device, you possess total, autonomous control over its retention and deletion:

• In-App Data Erasure: Where applicable, our mobile applications feature a dedicated "Delete All Data" or "Reset App" option within the application settings. Tapping this option prompts a confirmation dialog and immediately purges all locally stored databases, calculation histories, and cached preferences from your device.
• Operating System App Reset: You can completely clear all data stored by any Orbit Tech Lab application at any time through Android system settings: Settings > Apps > [Orbit Tech Lab App] > Storage & cache > Clear Storage / Clear Data.
• App Uninstallation: Uninstalling the application from your device instantly and irrevocably purges all sandboxed databases, settings, and files created by the application.

8. Corporate Website & Online Inquiries (orbittechlab.com)

This section governs interactions on our official corporate website (www.orbittechlab.com) and communication channels:

• Contact Form & Project Inquiries: When you submit a message through our website contact form or email us at info@orbittechlab.com, we collect your name, email address, optional phone number, and project details. This information is used strictly to respond to your inquiry and evaluate project proposals. It is never sold or shared with external marketers.
• Newsletter Subscription: If you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is used solely to provide periodic product launches, technical insights, and company updates. You may unsubscribe at any time via the link in each email.
• Server Logs & Security: Our web servers record standard HTTP request logs (including IP address, browser type, and timestamp) solely for infrastructure diagnostics, DDoS prevention, and security monitoring.
• Cookies: We use strictly necessary cookies for core website functionality and privacy-conscious analytics to measure traffic. We do not use third-party behavioral profiling or cross-site advertising cookies.

9. Children's Privacy (Google Play Families Policy & COPPA Compliance)

Orbit Tech Lab is fully committed to protecting children's privacy in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and Google Play's Families Policy:

• Our applications, products, and websites are built for general audiences, professionals, and everyday utility tasks.
• We do not knowingly collect, request, or maintain personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in applicable European jurisdictions).
• Because our offline mobile applications do not harvest, store, or transmit any personal data across the internet, children's privacy is inherently safeguarded. If a parent or guardian believes that personal information has inadvertently been transmitted to us, please contact us at info@orbittechlab.com or support@orbittechlab.com, and we will promptly delete it.

10. Third-Party Services & External Links

Orbit Tech Lab maintains a strict policy regarding third-party data handling:

• We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, client records, or application data to data brokers, ad networks, or commercial third parties.
• Our website and mobile applications may include links to external platforms (such as our official social media channels, Google Play Store developer profile, or direct mailto links). Once you navigate away to a third-party service, their respective privacy policies govern your interactions.

11. Security Standards & Technical Safeguards

We apply robust technical safeguards across our software products, custom client systems, and mobile applications:

• Mobile OS Sandboxing: All mobile applications leverage the native Android security architecture, enforcing application sandboxing, memory isolation, and strict permission models.
• Encrypted Web Transmissions: All interactions on our website and cloud services utilize modern Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS) with strict security headers (including HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options).
• Cloud Security: Enterprise servers hosting our SaaS platforms are configured with firewall isolation, continuous monitoring, and automated daily backups.

12. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR, CCPA / CPRA & Global Rights)

Depending on your geographic location, you possess statutory rights regarding personal data under applicable data protection laws (such as GDPR in the EU/UK and CCPA/CPRA in California):

• Right to Access: You can request confirmation of whether we process any personal information concerning you.
• Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information. For our offline mobile apps, all data is stored exclusively on your device and can be erased instantly by using the in-app "Delete All Data" option or uninstalling the app.
• Right to Rectification: You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete contact data you provided to us via our website.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: Orbit Tech Lab will never deny services, alter quality, or discriminate against any user for exercising their legal privacy rights.
