Somewhere along the way, we became the product. Companies found a way to profit off our relationships.
Now, every family photo that gets sent to grandma is scanned, tracked, and logged. The internet wasn't always like this — and we're building something better.
That's Orbital. No ads. No algorithms. No data harvesting. We don't read your messages (we can't). We don't sell your attention. We don't train AI on your kids' photos.
