Terms of Use

The agreement you accept when you create an Orbit account.

Last updated: 5 August 2026

Accepting these terms

By creating an account you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not create an account and do not use Orbit.

There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behaviour. Accounts that post objectionable content, or that harass, threaten, impersonate or endanger anyone, are removed. We may remove content and terminate accounts without notice, and we do not owe an explanation before acting to protect someone.

What you may not do

You agree not to post, send, or share anything that:

harasses, bullies, threatens or intimidates any person
is hateful toward a person or group, including on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation or age
is sexually explicit, or sexualises a minor in any way
depicts or encourages violence, self harm, or illegal activity
impersonates another person, or misrepresents who you are
shares another person's private information, including their location, without their consent
is spam, a scam, or an attempt to obtain someone's account or money

You also agree not to:

use Orbit to track, follow, or turn up uninvited on another person
attempt to identify a person's precise location from what Orbit shows
create an account if you are under 13
evade a block or a removal by creating another account

Reporting and blocking

Every piece of content in Orbit can be reported, and every person can be blocked. Reports are reviewed and acted on, typically within 24 hours. Blocking someone hides their events and comments from you, stops them messaging you, and hides you from them.

You can report an event or a comment from the "..." menu on it, and report or block a person from the "..." menu inside a conversation with them. You may also email us directly at the address below.

Your content

What you post stays yours. You give us permission to store and display it to the people your privacy settings allow, which is what makes the app work. You are responsible for what you post, and you confirm you have the right to post it.

Location

Location sharing is off until you turn it on. Other people never receive your exact position: coordinates are rounded to roughly a kilometre before they leave our servers, distances are reported in five mile steps, and a shared position stops being visible after six hours. See the privacy policy for detail.

Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time from Profile, Delete account. It is immediate and permanent, and removes your profile, events, photos, comments, messages, friendships and any shared location. We may suspend or terminate an account that breaks these terms.

No warranty

Orbit is provided as is. We do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error free, and we are not responsible for what other people do, on or off the app. Nothing here limits any right you have that cannot be limited by law.

Changes

If these terms change materially we will update the date above and ask you to accept the new version in the app.
