Limited Use Statement
Orbital uses handled user data only for its product purpose: local-first AI conversation observation, organization, metric inspection, memory preparation, prompt or memory injection selected by the user, and export.
Orbital data stays 100% local unless the user explicitly chooses to share selected data with a chat platform as memory or prompt context, or with RightMinds help staff for troubleshooting. Orbital does not sell user data, use it for unrelated advertising, or transfer it for unrelated purposes.
