Privacy policy

Information we collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Information you provide directly, such as your name, email, and message.
• Basic usage data, such as browser type, pages visited, and timestamps.
• Technical data like IP address and device information for security and analytics.

How we use information

We use information to:

• Respond to inquiries and communicate with you.
• Operate, maintain, and improve our website and products.
• Detect, prevent, and address security or technical issues.
• Comply with applicable legal obligations.

Sharing of information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers that help us operate our business (for example hosting, analytics, or email providers), and when required by law.

Beta lists

When you join a beta list, we collect your email address, which app you signed up for, and anything you choose to write in the note. We send one email to confirm the address, and nothing is added to a list until you click the link in it. After that, we use your address only to invite you to test builds and to send updates about that beta.

Beta lists are kept with our email provider, Resend. Every email we send to a list has an unsubscribe link, which lets you leave one app's list without leaving the others, and you can ask us to delete your details at any time by writing to hi@happyorbitlabs.com.

Crankset

Crankset, our bike computer for iPhone, does not collect any information about you. It has no account and no server, and it sends nothing to us or to anyone else.

• Rides and location. Your location is used while a ride is recording, to measure speed, distance and the route. Rides, routes included, are stored on your iPhone and synced through your own private iCloud account, which we cannot access. To keep them on your iPhone only, turn off iCloud for Crankset in your iPhone's iCloud settings.
• Apple Health. If you turn it on, Crankset saves each ride to Apple Health as a cycling workout and reads heart rate from Health to show on your rides. Health data stays in Health on your device. It is never sent to us, and it is not used for advertising or shared with anyone.
• Motion & Fitness. The iPhone's barometer is used to measure how much you climb during a ride. The readings are kept only as part of your rides.
• Exports. A ride leaves the app as a GPX file only when you share it, and goes only where you send it.

Deleting a ride in Crankset deletes it from your iPhone and from your iCloud. Deleting the app removes rides from that iPhone; rides still in iCloud can be removed from your iCloud storage settings.

Noat

Noat, our Markdown editor for the Mac, does not collect any information about you. It has no account and no server, and it cannot make network requests at all: the app is sandboxed without the network entitlement that would allow one.

• Your notes. Noat reads and writes the plain .md file you opened, in place, wherever you keep it. It has no library and no storage of its own, so your text is never copied anywhere else.
• Recent files. The files you have opened are remembered on your Mac, as bookmarks, so they reopen after a relaunch. File › Open Recent › Clear Menu removes them.
• Settings. Your theme, font and editor preferences are stored on your Mac. There is no account to sync them to.
• Exports and links. A PDF, HTML file or .docx is written only when you export, and only where you choose to save it. Command-clicking a web link in a note hands the address to your own browser; nothing is fetched inside the app.

Deleting the app removes its settings and its list of recent files from that Mac. Your .md files are yours and stay where they are.

Traces

Traces, our journal for iPhone and iPad, does not collect any information about you. It has no account and no server, and it sends nothing to us.

• Your journal. Everything you keep is stored on your device and synced through your own private iCloud account, which we cannot access. To keep it on one device only, turn off iCloud for Traces in your iCloud settings.
• Location. While the app is open, your location is used to look up the day's weather (Apple WeatherKit) and the name of where you are (Apple Maps). It is stored only as a place name on your moments.
• Apple Health. If you turn it on, Traces reads your walks — distance, time, steps and route — to draw them on your day. It never writes to Health. Health data stays on your devices and is never sent to us.
• Music and the microphone. Traces reads what's playing on your device to note a song. "Listen for it" uses the microphone to name a song playing nearby with Apple's ShazamKit, which receives a signature of the sound, not a recording. Song searches go to Apple.
• Photos. Photos you add are copied into your journal. If you turn on evening suggestions, Traces looks at the day's photos on your device to offer them; nothing is added without you.
• Widgets. The widgets read a small summary the app writes on your device. A mood logged from a widget is filed in your journal the next time the app opens.

Deleting a moment deletes it from your devices and your iCloud. Deleting the app removes its data from that device; entries still in iCloud can be removed from your iCloud storage settings.

Uair

Uair, formerly ChronoSync, our watch app for iPhone and iPad, does not collect any information about you. It has no account and no server, and it sends nothing to us.

• Your watches. The Collection, with its photos, details, time checks and services, is stored only on your device. It is not synced to iCloud or anywhere else.
• The microphone. Listen uses the microphone to time your watch's tick. The sound is analysed as it arrives and is never recorded, kept or sent anywhere. Only the result is saved: the rate, the beat rate and the beat error.
• Photos. Photos you add to a watch are copied into the app. Uair sees only the photos you pick.
• Purchases. The Collection unlock and its trial are handled by Apple. The app checks with the App Store whether you have them; we never see your payment details or your Apple Account.
• Widgets. The widgets read a small summary the app writes on your device: your last sync and each watch's rate.

Deleting a watch deletes it and everything logged against it. Deleting the app removes all of its data from that device.

Data retention

We retain information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or limit use of your personal information. To make a request, contact us at hi@happyorbitlabs.com.
