Who we are
Orrie is a Chrome extension and the website www.tryorrie.app. Both are owned and operated by Perspective Global Pty Ltd (ABN 34 697 873 368, ACN 697 873 368), a company based in Adelaide, South Australia. In this policy, "Orrie", "we" and "us" mean Perspective Global Pty Ltd.
Under laws like the GDPR, we're the "controller" of the limited information our server handles, as described in this policy. You can reach us at orrie-app@pixelverse.tech.
This policy covers Orrie only. For Orrie, it applies in place of Perspective Global's general privacy policy wherever the two differ.
"Personal information" means information about a person who is identified or can reasonably be identified.
The information involved, at a glance
- Stays on your device: your settings, any API keys you add, and your chat history.
- Passes through our server without being stored: the content of your free messages and Orrie's answers, which can include personal information if you put it there.
- Kept by our server for up to two days: a random install ID, daily message counts, and a daily-changing hash of your IP address.
- Kept by our hosting provider for a short time: standard technical logs, such as IP addresses, request times and error codes.
- If you email us: your email address and whatever you write.
We don't ask for your name, email address or any account details to use Orrie, so you can use it without telling us who you are. We don't ask for sensitive information, such as health details. Think before you put sensitive information about yourself or anyone else in a message, because it will be sent to an AI provider to write the answer.
What stays on your device
Orrie saves the following in your browser's extension storage (chrome.storage.local). It isn't sent to us.
- Settings, such as your theme, model tier, actions, custom instructions and the sites where you've turned Orrie off.
- Your API keys, if you add any.
- Chat history: your messages and Orrie's answers, any images or files you attached, and the title and address of the page each chat started on.
You're in control of history. In Settings you can turn it off, have chats deleted automatically after a number of days, delete single chats, or delete everything. Uninstalling Orrie removes all of it.
What Orrie reads on web pages
Orrie runs on the pages you visit so it can show the dot when you highlight text or click into a text box. It watches for those moments on your device, but it doesn't read or send page content until you open Orrie and send a message. Orrie doesn't attach to password fields.
What Orrie sends, and when
Nothing leaves your device until you send a message or tap an action. When you do, the request can include:
- Your message, or the action you chose (like Improve writing)
- The text you highlighted, or the contents of the text box you're in
- The page's title and site name, when page context is on
- The page's visible text, up to 30,000 characters, for actions that need it, such as Summarise this page, Draft a reply and Write for me, when page context is on
- Files and images you attach
- For circle anything: a screenshot of the area you circled, plus the text inside that area. Orrie captures the visible tab once to cut out your selection, and only the selected area is sent.
- Earlier messages in the same chat, so Orrie can follow the conversation
- Your custom instructions and writing preferences
You can turn page context off in Settings.
Who receives it
Using free messages
Your request goes to Orrie's server at orrie.haydenkong.com, which passes it to OpenAI to generate the answer and streams the answer back. Our server doesn't store the content of your messages or Orrie's answers. To enforce daily limits and prevent abuse, it keeps a random install ID that isn't linked to your name or email, a count of messages per day, a one-way hash of your IP address (the hash changes every day, and it's only used to limit free messages and new installs per network), and short-lived technical logs such as timestamps and error codes. The counts and hashes are deleted after two days.
Using your own API key
Your request goes straight from your browser to the provider you picked, such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter or a model running on your own computer. It never passes through Orrie's servers, and that provider's own terms and privacy policy apply. We don't control that provider, and we aren't responsible for how it handles what you send. When you press Test or Load models in Settings, Orrie asks that provider for its list of models using your key.
OpenAI
OpenAI processes requests under its privacy policy and API data controls. Orrie asks OpenAI not to store responses (store: false). OpenAI says it doesn't use API data to train its models by default, and it may keep API data for up to 30 days to monitor for abuse. OpenAI handles that information on its own systems under its own policies, which we don't control.
The companies that help us run Orrie
- OpenAI (United States) generates the answers to free messages.
- Vercel (United States) hosts this website and Orrie's server, and keeps the technical logs described above.
- Upstash (United States) holds the install IDs, message counts and IP hashes for up to two days.
- Our email provider handles any email you send us.
Each of these companies handles information under its own terms and privacy policy, which we don't control. We may also disclose information when the law requires it, or when it's reasonably necessary to investigate misuse or protect the rights and safety of our users, the public or Orrie. If Orrie is ever transferred to another company, the limited information we hold may be transferred with it.
The websites you use Orrie on are separate from us, and we aren't responsible for their privacy practices.
Information sent overseas
We're based in Australia, and the companies listed above are based in the United States. Vercel's network may also handle your request in a data centre in another country that's close to you. This means your information is likely to be handled outside Australia and outside the country you live in, in places where privacy laws may differ from yours. By sending a message on the free plan, you understand that it will be handled overseas in this way.
Why we use it
- To answer you. We pass your free messages to OpenAI and stream the answer back. Under the GDPR, this is necessary to provide the service you asked for.
- To keep the free plan fair and secure. We use install IDs, message counts, IP hashes and logs to enforce daily limits, stop abuse and fix problems. This is in our legitimate interests, and we keep it to the minimum.
- To reply to you. We use your email to answer your enquiry, and to tell you when Orrie Plus is available if you asked to join the waitlist. For the waitlist, we rely on your consent.
- To comply with the law, when it applies.
We don't use your information for advertising, we don't use your messages to train AI models, and we don't make automated decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects.
How long we keep it
- On your device: until you delete it, your auto-delete setting removes it, or you uninstall Orrie.
- Message content on our server: not stored. It only exists in memory while your answer is being generated.
- Install IDs, message counts and IP hashes: deleted after two days.
- Technical logs: short-lived, and removed under our hosting provider's standard retention settings.
- OpenAI: up to 30 days for abuse monitoring, according to OpenAI.
- Emails: for as long as we need them to help you and keep a record of the conversation. Waitlist emails are kept until Plus launches or you ask to be removed, whichever comes first.
Security
Everything Orrie sends travels over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). Our server doesn't store what you send, and the little it does keep isn't linked to your name or email. Your own API keys stay in your browser's extension storage, and they're only ever sent to the provider they belong to.
No system is perfectly secure, and we can't guarantee the security of anything you send or store. You use Orrie, and send information through it, at your own risk. Keeping your device, your browser and your API keys secure is up to you. If the law requires us to tell you or a regulator about a data breach, we will.
What we don't do
- We don't sell, rent or share your data with advertisers or data brokers.
- We don't use your data for advertising, credit decisions or anything unrelated to answering you.
- We don't build a memory or profile of you. Each chat stands on its own.
- The extension has no analytics or tracking scripts.
Chrome Web Store User Data Policy
Orrie's use of information received through Chrome adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Data is only used to provide the features you ask for.
Permissions, explained
- Access to websites: to show the dot and the chat on the pages you visit, and to capture the visible tab when you use circle anything.
- Storage and unlimited storage: to keep your settings and chat history, including images, on your device.
- Access to orrie.haydenkong.com: to send free messages through Orrie's server. Requests to your own provider use the access to websites above.
This website
tryorrie.app doesn't use cookies, analytics or tracking scripts. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs, such as IP addresses and request times, to run and secure the site.
Emailing us and the Plus waitlist
If you email us, including to join the Orrie Plus waitlist, we receive your email address and whatever you write. We use it to reply to you and, for the waitlist, to let you know when Plus is available. We won't add you to any other mailing list. You can ask to be removed at any time by replying to any email from us.
Children
Orrie isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you're under 18, use Orrie with a parent or guardian's permission. If you think a child has sent us personal information, contact us so we can delete what we're able to find.
Your rights and choices
Because your history and settings are stored on your device, you can view, export or delete them yourself at any time.
You can also ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct it, by emailing us. We'll respond within a reasonable time. What our server holds isn't linked to your name or email, so we may need some details from you to look for it, and often there'll be nothing we can match to you.
Depending on where you live, you may have more rights. Under the GDPR and UK GDPR, these include the right to have your information deleted, to restrict or object to how we use it, to receive it in a portable format, to withdraw consent at any time, and to complain to your local data protection authority. If you live in California or another US state with similar laws: we don't sell or share your personal information, as those laws define those words.
Complaints
If you think we've mishandled your personal information or breached the Australian Privacy Principles, email us at orrie-app@pixelverse.tech. We'll look into it and reply within a reasonable time.
If you're not happy with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au, 1300 363 992). If you're in Europe or the UK, you can also contact your local data protection authority.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change affects what Orrie sends or who receives it, we'll say so in the extension's release notes.
