Privacy Policy

OrbitLink is a profile page builder for software engineers, operated as an indie product (no separate registered company). Contact: ping@orbitlink.bio.

When you sign in with GitHub through Clerk, we receive identity information needed to create and secure your account (such as your Clerk user id and GitHub-linked profile details Clerk provides).

You may add profile fields we store in our database (Convex): username, display name, headline, bio, company, role, location, links, “now” status, publish state, and selected public GitHub projects (including metadata and preview images fetched from GitHub).

We do not run a custom avatar upload or blob storage in the current product. Avatars and project previews come from GitHub.

We use this data to authenticate you, run your OrbitLink account, show your dashboard, and (when you publish) display your public profile at your OrbitLink URL. We also use limited technical data for reliability (see Error monitoring below).

Profile and account data are kept until you delete your account. Hard delete removes your OrbitLink profile and related data from our database and frees your username for others. Error monitoring data in Sentry is retained according to our Sentry organization settings.

You can delete your account in the dashboard under Settings. That permanently deletes your OrbitLink profile, projects, and linked auth account. Your public page will return the same not-found response as an unpublished or missing profile, and your username becomes available again.

If something goes wrong with in-app deletion, email ping@orbitlink.bio and we will help.

OrbitLink is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.

We use cookies and similar browser storage that are strictly necessary to run the product:

Clerk: session and authentication cookies so you can stay signed in.

Convex: client storage needed for the realtime database connection in the dashboard.

Sentry: may use storage related to error monitoring. We treat this as necessary for operating a reliable service, not as marketing analytics.

Cookie notice preference: when you dismiss the on-site cookies notice, we store a simple flag in your browser’s localStorage (orbitlink-cookie-notice-dismissed) so we do not show the notice again on that device. This is not used for advertising or tracking.

We do not use advertising cookies, marketing pixels, or product analytics tools today. We do not sell personal information. If we add optional analytics later, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for consent before loading non-essential scripts.

We use Sentry to capture application errors so we can fix bugs. We configure Sentry with sendDefaultPii: false. Error events may include technical details such as URLs, browser information, and stack traces. We do not record session replays.

We rely on these processors to run OrbitLink. Each has its own privacy policy:

Clerk (authentication) · Convex (database) · Vercel (hosting) · GitHub (OAuth, avatars, public repo data) · Sentry (error monitoring).

We may update this policy as the product changes. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of OrbitLink after an update means you accept the revised policy.
