Privacy Policy for Orbit Lens

Last updated: September 8, 2026

Orbit Lens ("the Application") is built as a free educational space tracking application. This Privacy Policy informs users regarding our policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information for anyone who chooses to use the Application.

1. Information Collection and Use

Orbit Lens does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personally identifiable information (PII).

• No User Accounts: You do not need to register, create an account, or provide personal details to use the Application.
• No Tracking or Analytics: The Application does not use third-party tracking SDKs, analytics frameworks, or advertising identifiers to monitor your behavior.
• Limited Device Access: The Application does not access your personal files, contacts, camera, or microphone. (See Section 2 regarding Location Data).

2. Location Data (GPS) Privacy

When utilizing the "Overhead" tracking feature, Orbit Lens requests high-accuracy GPS coordinates from your device. This data is used strictly locally on your hardware to calculate satellite proximity via vector mathematics. Your location data is never transmitted to our servers, stored externally, tracked over time, or shared with third parties.

3. Local Storage

The Application utilizes your device's local memory (localStorage) strictly to save your user preferences (such as Metric vs. Imperial units) and offline cached orbital TLE data. This data remains entirely on your physical device and is never transmitted to any external server managed by us.

4. Third-Party Services & Network Requests

To provide real-time satellite position calculations, the Application makes direct network requests to download public Two-Line Element (TLE) orbital data.

• CelesTrak: The Application fetches satellite telemetry directly from CelesTrak (celestrak.org). When your device connects to CelesTrak to download satellite position files, your IP address is visible to CelesTrak's network servers strictly as a standard part of internet communication. We encourage you to review CelesTrak's Privacy Policy.

5. Children's Privacy

The Application does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. Because no personal data is collected from any user, children can use the Application safely without data exposure.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. Any updates will be effective immediately upon posting the revised Privacy Policy.
