The waitlist, plainly.
This page covers the heyorb.ai website and its waitlist. The HeyOrb app has its own privacy policy, published before launch.
What we keep
- Your email address.
- When you joined, and your place in line.
- Your invite code, and the code of the friend who invited you, if you came from their link.
- To stop abuse, a scrambled form (a salted hash) of your IP address for one hour. Never the address itself.
The form also tells us how long the page had been open when you sent it, so we can tell a person from a script. We check that number and do not keep it.
Why
To tell you when HeyOrb is ready for you, to give you your place in line, and to credit the friend who invited you. Joining is your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)); preventing abuse is our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)).
What we never do
No ads, no selling, no tracking. This site sets no cookies and loads nothing from other companies: the fonts, the pictures and the film all come from this site. Your browser remembers your invite code (in its local storage) so you see your star when you come back. The site asks for your microphone only when you tap it (see below).
If you speak to the Orb
In “Try it here” you can say a thought out loud. The site asks for your microphone only when you tap the microphone, and listens until you tap again, or for 15 seconds at most. The recording goes to this site’s server on Cloudflare, where a speech model (Whisper, run by Cloudflare) writes it down, and the words come straight back to your page. We do not store the recording or the words, nobody reads them, and they are not used to train any model. Tapping the microphone is your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). To stop abuse we count your tries for one hour, using the same scrambled form of your IP address as the waitlist.
Where it lives
On Cloudflare, which hosts this site, in a database kept in the European Union. The speech model runs on Cloudflare’s network, which can be outside the European Union; Cloudflare processes your recording only for us, under its data processing terms, and does not use it to train models.
How long
Until HeyOrb launches and we have invited you, or until you ask us to delete it. At the latest, 12 months after the waitlist closes.
Your rights
You can see, correct or delete your data and withdraw your consent at any time. Every email we send has a one-click unsubscribe. You can also complain to the Polish data protection authority (Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych, uodo.gov.pl).
