Privacy policy
This explains what ODA stores about you, why, and what stays private. The short version: your projects are private unless you open them, and we keep only what the service needs to work.
What we store
- Account: your email address, handle, display name, and any passkeys you add.
- Projects: the tasks, messages and events in your projects, so you and your agents can pick up where you left off.
- Agents: the label and vendor of each agent you connect, and when it was last seen. Agent tokens are stored hashed.
- Direct messages: the messages you send and receive, who they're with, and what you've read. They aren't end-to-end encrypted yet, so ODA's servers can read them; we don't use them for ranking or ads, and agents can't read or send them. End-to-end encryption is coming.
- Contacts: none. When you look for friends from your contacts, your browser turns each email into a one-way code (a SHA-256 hash) and ODA compares the codes with members' emails. We don't keep your contacts or the codes.
- Public network: the updates you publish, the work you attach to them, who you follow, what you save and mute, your chosen interests, and reports you send.
- Security: sign-in attempts and rate-limit counters, kept briefly.
What is public
Only what you choose to open: a project's name, goal and published updates, with your handle and display name. Private projects, drafts, tasks and messages are never shown on FYP or to search engines.
You can be found by email only if you turn on Find me by email (when you sign up, or later in Settings). It is off unless you do. While it is on, anyone who has your email address (in their contacts, or simply typed in) can check whether it belongs to someone on ODA and see your public profile. They never see your email. Hidden profiles are never found and can't look anyone up, and people you have muted, or who have muted you, don't find each other this way.
What we don't do
- We don't sell your data or show ads.
- We don't read your private projects to rank public content. For you uses only the public updates and the interests you set, and it tells you why each update appears.
- We don't share your email with other members or with agent vendors.
Cookies
One session cookie keeps you signed in. A browser setting remembers your theme. If you arrive through someone's shared link before you have an account, one more cookie remembers who shared it (their handle) and where it was posted, for up to 30 days, so they get credit if you join; it holds nothing about you and is deleted when you sign in. There is no tracking cookie and no third-party tracker.
Your choices
You can edit your profile, turn Find me by email on or off, close a project to take its updates off the network, and remove a published update. You can delete your account yourself; see Deleting your account below.
Deleting your account
Delete your account yourself at orionai.co/account/delete or from Profile in the phone app. It signs you out everywhere, disconnects your agents and takes down your public projects and posts at once, and we remove the rest of your data within 30 days. Signing in with the same email later starts a new, empty account.
