You are responsible for anything that happens through your account unless you close it or report misuse.

As between you and others (including your employer), your account belongs to you. However, if the Services were purchased by another party for you to use (e.g. Enterprise access bought by your employer), the party paying for such Service has the right to control access to and get reports on your use of such paid Service; however, they do not have rights to your personal account.

We don't provide refunds unless required by law.

  • If you purchase a subscription, your payment method automatically will be charged at the start of each subscription period for the fees and taxes applicable to that period. To avoid future charges, cancel before the renewal date.
  • All of your purchases of Services are subject to Orbit’s refund policy, which is no refunds unless legally required.
  • We may calculate taxes payable by you based on the billing information that you provide us at the time of purchase.
  • You will receive a copy of your invoice through email.

3. Rights and Limits

You own all of the content, feedback, and personal information you provide to us, but you also grant us a non-exclusive license to it.

We’ll honor the choices you make about who gets to see your information and content.

You promise to only provide information and content that you have the right to share, and that your Orbit profile will be truthful.

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED UNDER LAW, ORBIT AND ITS AFFILIATES (AND THOSE THAT ORBIT WORKS WITH TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES) (A) DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS (E.G. WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY OF DATA, AND NONINFRINGEMENT); (B) DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICES WILL FUNCTION WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR ERRORS, AND (C) PROVIDE THE SERVICE (INCLUDING CONTENT AND INFORMATION) ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.

SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME OR ALL OF THESE DISCLAIMERS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

4.2 Exclusion of Liability

These are the limits of legal liability we may have to you.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER LAW (AND UNLESS ORBIT HAS ENTERED INTO A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT THAT OVERRIDES THIS CONTRACT), ORBIT AND ITS AFFILIATES (AND THOSE THAT ORBIT WORKS WITH TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR OTHERS FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, OPPORTUNITIES, REPUTATION, PROFITS OR REVENUES, RELATED TO THE SERVICES (E.G. OFFENSIVE OR DEFAMATORY STATEMENTS, DOWN TIME OR LOSS, USE OF, OR CHANGES TO, YOUR INFORMATION OR CONTENT).

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LIABILITY OF ORBIT AND ITS AFFILIATES (AND THOSE THAT ORBIT WORKS WITH TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES) EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE FOR ALL CLAIMS, AN AMOUNT THAT IS THE LESSER OF (A) FIVE TIMES THE MOST RECENT MONTHLY OR YEARLY FEE THAT YOU PAID FOR A PREMIUM SERVICE, IF ANY, OR (B) US $100.

THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS PART OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND ORBIT AND SHALL APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS OF LIABILITY (E.G. WARRANTY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, CONTRACT, LAW) AND EVEN IF ORBIT OR ITS AFFILIATES HAS BEEN TOLD OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGE, AND EVEN IF THESE REMEDIES FAIL THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

You can email us at support@orbitcme.com to close your account.

6. Dispute Resolution

In the unlikely event we end up in a dispute, you agree to arbitrate.

Arbitration

The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through good-faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. Except for disputes relating to the Orbit’s intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents) or if you opt out of this agreement to arbitrate, all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement and your use of the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with its provisions and procedures for consumer-related disputes, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court; provided, however, that the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies, or awards that conflict with this Agreement. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, Orbit will pay the additional cost. You and Orbit hereby expressly waive trial by jury. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if Orbit is a party to the proceeding. This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

Class-Action Waiver

The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only, and not as a class action or other representative action. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class-action waiver set forth in this section is void or unenforceable for any reason, or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

Exception—Litigation of Small-Claims-Court Claims

Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

Thirty-Day Right to Opt Out

You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration- and class-action-waiver provisions set forth in this section by sending email notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: support@orbitcme.com . The notice must be sent within 30 days of registering to use the Services; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with these Terms. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Orbit also will not be bound by them. In addition, if you elect to opt out of these arbitration provisions, Orbit may terminate your use of the Services.

Time Limitation on Claims

You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with Orbit and these Terms must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred.

Choice of Law and Forum

Any action related to the Terms, Content, the Services, and your relationship with the Orbit shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws principles AND WILL SPECIFICALLY NOT BE GOVERNED BY THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTIONS ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS, IF OTHERWISE APPLICABLE. Subject to the Section entitled “Dispute Resolution”, the parties irrevocably consent to bring any action to enforce this Agreement in the federal or state courts embracing San Francisco, California and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts embracing San Francisco, California. If any party hereto brings any suit or action against another for relief, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of these Terms, the prevailing party will have and recover against the other party, in addition to all court costs and disbursements, such sum as the court may adjudge to be reasonable attorneys’ fees. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, the parties agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or the Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

7. General Terms

Here are some important details about how to read the Contract.

If a court with authority over this Contract finds any part of it not enforceable, you and us agree that the court should modify the terms to make that part enforceable while still achieving its intent. If the court cannot do that, you and us agree to ask the court to remove that unenforceable part and still enforce the rest of this Contract. To the extent allowed by law, the English language version of this Contract is binding and other translations are for convenience only. This Contract (including additional terms that may be provided by us when you engage with a feature of the Services) is the only agreement between us regarding the Services and supersedes all prior agreements for the Services.

If we don't act to enforce a breach of this Contract, that does not mean that Orbit has waived its right to enforce this Contract. You may not assign or transfer this Contract (or your membership or use of Services) to anyone without our consent. However, you agree that Orbit may assign this Contract to its affiliates or a party that buys it without your consent. There are no third party beneficiaries to this Contract.

We reserve the right to change the terms of this Contract and will provide you notice if we do and we agree that changes cannot be retroactive. If you don't agree to these changes, you must stop using the Services.

You agree that the only way to provide us legal notice is at the address(es) provided in Section 10.

Orbit Promotions

All promotions are subject to changes in duration or availability at any time.

Friends in Orbit

This promotion rewards you and your friends when you share Orbit. Here's how it works.

  1. Share your unique link. There's a signup button on the page assigned to your custom link. Anyone who signs up for Orbit using that signup button receives $20 off their registration when their subscription goes from Trial to Active.
  2. Get your friends to convert from Trial to Active. When their subscription switches from Trial to Active, you'll earn credit that gets applied to your second year charge, or the next year's charge if you're currently in year two. Each subscription that registered for Orbit through your unique link and converts from Trial to Active earns you $20 of this credit.
  3. Earn a maximum of $200 total credit. You're allowed to earn up to $200 in aggregate (maximum total) credit through this promotion.
  4. Count your karma. If you exceed the $200 credit limit, you'll still be able to invite friends to use Orbit through your unique link, but you won't earn additional credit. We'll still count the number of friends you converted from Trial to Active, so you'll know how much good karma you're generating!

Tip: Try sharing your unique link to your Facebook page, newsletters for your society, or anywhere else. Get creative with it!

We are an online platform for professionals.

Our registered users (“Members”) share their professional identities, engage with their network, exchange knowledge and professional insights, post and view relevant content, learn and find business and career opportunities. Content on some of our services is available to non-members (“Visitors”).

Data Controllers

You are entering into the User Agreement with Transcend Review Inc., who will be responsible for your personal data provided to, or collected by or for, our Services.

Services

This Privacy Policy applies to orbitcme.com, Orbit for Chrome browser extension/plugin, and other Orbit-related sites, apps, communications and services (“Services”), including off-site Services, such as our blogs, but excluding services that state that they are offered under a different privacy policy.

If you use our Services, you consent to this Privacy Policy, including our Cookies Policy.

Consent

If you use our Services, you consent to the collection, use and sharing of your personal data under this Privacy Policy (which includes our Cookie Policy and other documents referenced in this Privacy Policy) and agree to the User Agreement.

If you use our Services after an update to this Privacy Policy, you consent to the changed policy.

Change

We may modify this Privacy Policy, and if we make material changes to it, we will provide notice through our Services, or by other means, to provide you the opportunity to review the changes before they become effective. If you object to any changes, you may close your account by emailing us at support@orbitcme.com. Your continued use of our Services after we publish or send a notice about our changes to this Privacy Policy means that you are consenting to the updated Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide to Us

You provide data to create an account with us.

You agree that the information you submit to Orbit (self-study report, activity files, other materials) will not include individually identifiable health information, in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

Registration

To create an account you provide data including your name, email address and/or mobile number, password, board ID information, scope of practice, and other personal information. If you register for a subscription Service, we ask you for payment (e.g., credit card) and billing information.

You create your Orbit profile (a complete profile helps you get the most from our Services).

You give permission to have your learner completion data and personal information shared by Transcend Review, Inc. and TUSM OCE with the ABIM via ACCME’s PARS.

Profile

You have choices about the information on your profile, such as your education, work experience, skills, photo, city or area and endorsements. Profile information helps you to get more from our Services, including new features in development for suggesting CME goals based on board guidelines, and recommending relevant live events. It’s your choice whether to include sensitive information on your profile. Please do not post or add personal data to your profile that you would not want to be publicly available.

Posting and Uploading

We collect personal data from you when you provide, post or upload it to our Services, such as when you fill out a form or respond to a survey (e.g., Members’ salary).

1.2 Information From Others

Others may post or write about you.

Content and News

You and others may post content that includes information about you on our Services (as part of blog posts, feed updates and comments, videos).

Customers and partners may provide data to us.

Partners

We receive personal data about you when you use the services of our customers and partners, such as prospective employers and applicant tracking systems providing us job application data.

1.3 Service Use

We log your visits and use of our Services, including the Orbit for Chrome plugin/extension and mobile apps.

We log usage data when you visit or otherwise use our Services, including our sites, app and platform technology (e.g., our off-site Orbit for Chrome browser plugin/extension), such as when you view or click on content (e.g., learning video) or ads (on or off our sites and apps), perform a search, install one of our mobile apps, share articles or apply for jobs. We use log-ins, cookies, device information and internet protocol (“IP”) addresses to identify you and log your use.

The ad blocking plugins we suggest for use in conjunction with Orbit are entirely unaffiliated with Orbit and have their terms of service, own data protocols, and privacy policies. We make no guarantees regarding their operation.

1.4 Cookies, Web Beacons and Other Similar Technologies

We collect data through cookies and similar technologies.

As further described in our Cookie Policy, we use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., web beacons, pixels, ad tags and device identifiers) to recognize you and/or your device(s) on, off and across different Services and devices. We also allow some others to use cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. You can control cookies through your browser settings and other tools. You can also opt out from our use of cookies and similar technologies that track your behavior on the sites of others for third party advertising by emailing us at support@orbitcme.com.

1.5 Your Device and Location

We receive data from your devices and networks, including location data. When you visit or leave our Services (including our plugins or cookies or similar technology on the sites of others), we receive the URL of both the site you came from and the one you go to next. We also get information about your IP address, proxy server, operating system, web browser and add-ons, device identifier and features, and/or ISP or your mobile carrier. If you use our Services from a mobile device, that device will send us data about your location. Most devices allow you to prevent location data from being sent to us and we honor your settings.

1.6 Messages

If you communicate through our Services, we learn about that. We collect information about you when you send, receive, or engage with messages in connection with our Services. We also use automatic scanning technology on messages.

1.7 Workplace Provided Information

When your employer buys a premium Service for you to use at work, they may give us data about you.

An employer (or other person or entity procuring our Services for your use) may provide us information about their employees or contractors who make use of these Services. For example, we will get contact information administrators and for authorizing users of our premium Services.

1.8 Sites and Services of Others

We get data when you visit sites that include our plugins, ads or cookies or log-in to others’ services with your Orbit account.

We receive information about your visits and interaction with services provided by others when you log-in with Orbit or visit others’ services while logged into our plugins (such as Orbit for Chrome), ads, cookies or similar technologies. For example, when you’re logged into our browser plugin, all of your browsing information is sent to our servers.

1.9 Other

We are improving our Services, which means we get new data and create new ways to use data.

Our Services are dynamic and we often introduce new features, which may require the collection of new information. If we collect materially different personal data or materially change how we use your data, we will notify you and may also modify this Privacy Policy.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use your data to provide, support, personalize and develop our Services.

We use the data that we have about you to provide, support, personalize and make our Services (including ads) more relevant and useful to you and others.

2.1 Services

Our Services help you stay up to date with your continuing medical education and other professional requirements, connect with others, discover new learning opportunities, find and be found for work and business opportunities, stay informed, get training and be more productive.

We use your data to authenticate you and authorize access to our Services.

Stay Informed

Our Services allow you to stay informed about news, events and ideas regarding professional topics you care about, and from professionals you respect. Our Services also allow you to improve your professional skills, or learn new ones. We use the information about you to recommend relevant content across our Services, suggest skills you may have to add to your profile and skills that you might need to pursue your next opportunity. So, if you let us know that you are interested in a new skill (e.g., by watching a learning video), we will use this information to personalize content in your feed, suggest that you follow certain members on our site, or watch related learning content to help you towards that new skill. We use your content, activity and other data, including your name and picture, to provide notices to your network and others. For example, subject to your settings, we may notify others that you have updated your profile, posted a blog, took a social action, made new connections or were mentioned in the news.

Career

Our Services may allow you to explore careers, evaluate educational opportunities, and seek out, and be found for, career opportunities. Your profile can be found by those looking to hire or be hired by you. We will use your data to recommend jobs, show you and others who work at a company, in an industry, function or location or have certain skills and connections. We may use your profile and activity to recommend jobs to you and you to recruiters.

Productivity

Our Services allow you to collaborate with colleagues, search for potential clients, customers, partners and others to do business with. Our Services allow you to communicate with other professionals and schedule and prepare meetings with them. We scan messages to provide “bots” or similar tools that facilitate tasks such as scheduling meetings, draft responses, summarize messages or recommend next steps.

2.2 Communications

We contact you and enable communications between members. We offer settings to control what and how often you receive some types of messages.

We will contact you through email, notices posted on our websites or apps, messages to your Orbit Feed, and other ways through our Services, including text messages and push notifications. We will send you messages about the availability of our Services, security, or other service-related issues. We also send messages about how to use the Services, network updates, reminders, job suggestions and promotional messages from us and our partners.

We may also enable communications between you and others through our Services.

2.3 Advertising

We serve you tailored ads both on and off of our Services.

We target (and measure the performance of) ads to Members, Visitors and others both on and off of our Services through a variety of ad networks and exchanges, using the following data, whether separately or combined:

  • Data from advertising technologies on and off of our Services, like web beacons, pixels, ad tags, cookies, and device identifiers;
  • Member-provided information (e.g., contact information, title and industry);
  • Data from your use of our Services (e.g., search history, feed, content you read, who you follow or is following you, connections, groups participation, page visits, videos you watch, clicking on an ad, etc.), including as described in Section 1.3;
  • Information from others (e.g. advertising partners, publishers and data aggregators);
  • Information inferred from data described above (e.g., using job titles to infer age, industry, seniority, and compensation bracket; or names to infer gender).

We will show you ads called sponsored content which look like similar non-sponsored content, except that they are labeled ads or sponsored. If you take an action (such as like, comment or share) on these ads, your action is associated with your name and viewable by others, including the ad provider.

Info to Advertisers

We do not share your personal data with any third-party advertisers or (other than hashed or device identifiers, to the extent they are personal data in some countries) ad networks for their advertising without your separate permission. However, if you click on an ad, the ad poster will know you visited the page that you clicked on. Also, advertising partners can associate personal data collected by the advertiser directly from you with our cookies and similar technologies.

2.4 Marketing

We promote our Services to you and others.

We use data and content about Members for invitations and communications promoting membership and network growth, engagement and our Services.

2.5 Developing Services and Research

We develop our Services and conduct research.

Service Development

We use data, including public feedback, to conduct research and development for the further development of our Services in order to provide you and others with a better, more intuitive and personalized experience, drive membership growth and engagement on our Services, and help connect professionals to each other and to economic opportunity.

Other Research

We seek to promote the discovery and adoption of best practices. We use the data available to us to discover critical practice updates, to understand the pressures placed on healthcare providers, and to help maximize the happiness and proficiency of healthcare professionals everywhere. In some cases, we work with trusted third parties to perform this research, under controls that are designed to protect your privacy. We publish or allow others to publish insights, presented as aggregated data rather than personal data.

Surveys

Polls and surveys are conducted by us and others through our Services. You are not obligated to respond to polls or surveys and you have choices about the information you provide.

2.6 Customer Support

We use data to help you and fix problems.

We use the data (which can include your communications) needed to investigate, respond to and resolve complaints and Service issues (e.g., bugs).

2.7 Aggregate Insights

We use data to generate aggregate insights.

We use your information to produce aggregate insights that do not identify you. For example we may use your data to generate statistics about our users, their profession or industry, the number of ad impressions served or clicked on, or the demographic distribution of visitors to a site.

2.8 Security and Investigations

We use data for security, fraud prevention and investigations.

We may use your data (including your communications) if we think it’s necessary for security purposes or to investigate possible fraud or other violations of our User Agreement or this Privacy Policy and/or attempts to harm our Members or Visitors.


3. How We Share Information

3.1 Our Services

Any information you include on your profile and any content you post or social action (e.g. likes, follows, comments, shares) you take on our Services may be seen by others.

Learner Permission, Data, and Reports:

Learner completion data and personal information is shared by Transcend Review, Inc. and TUSM OCE with the ACCME, American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA), and American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM).

Profile

Some elements of your profile will be fully visible to all Members and customers of our Services, such as name, institution, specialty, subspecialty, board certifications, and locations served (hospitals, clinics, outpatient surgery centers, etc.).

Other elements of your profile (such as board ID numbers and detailed audit reports including images designated as certificates, credits earned) will be shared with boards, hospitals, or other organizations, in a process where either they request this information from you through Orbit, or in which you authorize access to your information by these organizations on a continuous basis. For example, you may be able to designate whether you’d like your audit report to be shared on a continuous or annual basis with your state medical board.

Your settings impact the availability of your profile and certain fields.

Posts, Likes, Follows, Comments, Messages

Our Services may allow viewing and sharing information including through posts, follows, likes and comments.

  • When you submit answers to a post such as with Orbit Stories/Expeditions, your answers will be shared with Orbit and the third party organization initiating the post. This allows us or the third party organization to grade your results, track your learning, compare your response to peer groups, and award continuing medical education credits where applicable.
  • When you share a post (e.g., an update, video or blog), the default is to share it publicly. Others who are not your connections will be able to find (including through search engines) and see your post.
  • When you like, comment on or share another’s post, others will see it, including the person who initiated the post.
  • Any information you share through companies’ or other organizations’ pages on our Services will be viewable by it and others who visit those pages.
  • When you follow a person or organization, you are visible to others and that “page owner” as a follower. We provide aggregate insights about the followers and viewers to the respective page owners.

Your employer can see how you use Services they provided for your work and related information.

Enterprise Accounts

Your employer may offer you access to our enterprise Services such as Browser CME. They can also buy access for you to our online learning products such as Orbit Stories. Your employer can review and manage your use of such enterprise Services.

3.2 Others’ Services

You may link your account with others’ services such as a member board of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) so that they can look up your CME credits, licenses, specialty interests, etc.

Subject to your preference, other services such as medical boards may look-up your profile.

When you opt to link your account with other services, personal data will become available to them. You may revoke the link with such accounts in your settings. Revoking the link will not erase your data from their services. Your profile information linked to their services remains on these services until they choose to alter or remove it.

3.4 Related Services

We share your data across our different Services and Orbit-affiliated entities.

We will share your personal data with our affiliates to provide and develop our Services. We combine information internally across the different Services covered by this Privacy Policy. For example, Orbit will recommend better content to you based on your Orbit profile or the articles you read while logged into Orbit for Chrome, and Orbit could personalize your feed or job recommendations based on your learning history or browsing history, because we are able to identify you across different Services using cookies or similar technologies.

3.5 Service Providers

We may use others to help us with our Services.

We use others to help us provide our Services (e.g., sign-on/login, maintenance, analysis, audit, payments, fraud detection, marketing and development). They will have access to your information as reasonably necessary to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated to not to disclose or use it for other purposes.

3.6 Legal Disclosures

We may need to share your data when we believe it’s required by law or to protect your and our rights and security.

It is possible that we will need to disclose information about you when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities or to assist government enforcement agencies; (2) enforce our agreements with you, (3) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations, (4) protect the security or integrity of our Service (such as by sharing with companies facing similar threats); or (5) exercise or protect the rights and safety of Orbit, our Members, personnel, or others. We attempt to notify Members about legal demands for their personal data when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overbroad, vague or lack proper authority, but we do not promise to challenge every demand.

3.7 Change in Control or Sale

We may share your data when our business is sold to others, but it must continue to be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We can also share your personal data as part of a sale, merger or change in control, or in preparation for any of these events. Any other entity which buys us or part of our business will have the right to continue to use your data, but only in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy unless you agree otherwise.


4. Your Choices & Obligations

4.1 Data Retention

We keep most of your personal data for as long as your account is open.

We retain the personal data you provide while your account is in existence or as needed to provide you Services. Even if you only use our Services every few years, we will retain your information and keep your profile open until you decide to close your account. In some cases we choose to retain certain information (e.g., browsing history determined without clicking on the Orbit for Chrome plugin) in a depersonalized or aggregated form.

4.2 Rights to Access and Control Your Personal Data

You can access or delete your personal data.

To access your data, visit your account. To delete your data, contact us at support@orbitcme.com.

4.3 Account Closure

We may keep some of your data even after you close your account.

If you choose to close your Orbit account, we generally delete closed account information within 30 days of account closure, except as noted below. This means that when your account switches to inactive, we do not guarantee storage of any of your personal data (including certificates, posts, license copies, etc.).

We may retain your personal data even after you have closed your account if reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations (including law enforcement requests), meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, enforce our User Agreement, or fulfill your request to “unsubscribe” from further messages from us. We will retain de-personalized information after your account has been closed.

Information you have shared with others (e.g., updates or group posts) will remain visible after you closed your account or deleted the information from your own profile or mailbox, and we do not control data that other Members copied out of our Services. Your profile may continue to be displayed in the services of others (e.g., search engine results) until they refresh their cache.


5. Other Important Information

5.1. Security

We monitor for and try to prevent security breaches. Please use the security features available through our Services.

We implement security safeguards designed to protect your data, such as HTTPS. We regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks. However, we cannot warrant the security of any information that you send us. There is no guarantee that data may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

5.2. Cross-Border Data Transfers

We store and use your data outside your country. We process data both inside and outside of the United States.

5.3. Direct Marketing and Do Not Track Signals

We currently do not share personal data with third parties for their direct marketing purposes without your permission.

5.4. Contact Information

You can contact us or use other options to resolve any complaints.

If you have questions or complaints regarding this Policy, please contact support@orbitcme.com.

We are an online platform for professionals.

At Orbit, we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. In the spirit of transparency, this policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies. This cookie policy applies to any Orbit product or service that links to this policy or incorporates it by reference.

Does Orbit use cookies?

Yes. We use cookies and other technologies to ensure everyone who uses Orbit has the best possible experience. Cookies also help us keep your account safe. By continuing to visit or use our services, you are agreeing to the use of cookies and similar technologies for the purposes we describe in this policy.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables Orbit features and functionality. For example, cookies enable us to identify your device, secure your access to Orbit and our sites generally, and even help us know if someone attempts to access your account from a different device. Cookies also enable you to easily share content on Orbit and help us serve relevant ads to you.

When does Orbit place cookies?

We use cookies on our sites (such as orbitcme.com), browser plugin (such as the Orbit for Chrome browser plugin/extension), and mobile applications. Any browser visiting these sites will receive cookies from us.

What types of cookies does Orbit use?

We use two types: persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie helps us recognize you as an existing user, so it's easier to return to Orbit or interact with our services without signing in again. After you sign in, a persistent cookie stays in your browser and will be read by Orbit when you return to one of our sites or a partner site that uses our services. Session cookies only last for as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).

Which Orbit entity is using cookies?

Orbit will be responsible for your personal data provided to, or collected by or for, our Services.

What are cookies used for?

Cookies can be used to recognize you when you visit Orbit, remember your preferences, and give you a personalized experience that's in line with your settings. Cookies also make your interactions with Orbit faster and more secure. Additionally, cookies allow us to bring you advertising both on and off the Orbit sites, and bring customized features to you through Orbit plugins such as our Orbit for Chrome browser plugin/extension.

Categories of Use Description
Authentication If you're signed in to Orbit, cookies help us show you the right information and personalize your experience.
Security We use cookies to enable and support our security features, and to help us detect malicious activity and violations of our User Agreement.
Preferences, features and services Cookies can tell us which language you prefer and what your communications preferences are. They can help you fill out forms on Orbit more easily. They also provide you with features, insights, and customized content in conjunction with our plugins. You can learn more about plugins in our Privacy Policy.
Advertising We may use cookies to show you relevant advertising both on and off the Orbit site. We may also use a cookie to learn whether someone who saw an ad later visited and took an action (e.g. downloaded a white paper or made a purchase) on the advertiser's site. Similarly, our partners may use a cookie to determine whether we've shown an ad and how it performed, or provide us with information about how you interact with ads. We may also work with a partner to show you an ad on or off Orbit, such as after you've visited a partner's site or application.
Performance, Analytics and Research Cookies help us learn how well our site and plugins perform in different locations. We also use cookies to understand, improve, and research products, features, and services, including when you access Orbit from other websites, applications, or devices such as your work computer or your mobile device.
What is Do Not Track (DNT)?

DNT is a concept that has been promoted by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), for the Internet industry to develop and implement a mechanism for allowing Internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites by using browser settings. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has been working with industry groups, Internet browsers, technology companies, and regulators to develop a DNT technology standard. While some progress has been made, it has been slow. No standard has been adopted to this date. As such, Orbit does not generally respond to "do not track" signals.

How are cookies used for advertising purposes?

Cookies and other ad technology such as beacons, pixels, and tags help us serve relevant ads to you more effectively. They also help us provide aggregated auditing, research, and reporting for advertisers, understand and improve our service, and know when content has been shown to you. Note: Because your web browser may request advertisements and beacons directly from third party ad network servers, these networks can view, edit, or set third party cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site. Ads served by Orbit may also set third party cookies.

If you are logged in on orbitcme.com, the Orbit for Chrome plugin/extension, or another Service that references this Cookie Policy or browsing a third party partner site of Orbit and one of our cookies on your device identifies you, your usage (such as your browsing behavior) and log data (such as your IP address), will be associated by us with your account as noted in Section 1.3 of our Privacy Policy. We also use aggregate data from third parties and data from your profile and Orbit activity.

If you are a Orbit member but logged out of your account on a browser, Orbit may still continue to log your interaction with our services on that browser in order to generate usage analytics for our services, which analytics we may share in aggregate form with our advertising customers.

Unless you clear these cookies from your browser, we may use this information to:

  • provide more relevant, interest-based advertising
  • provide aggregate reports of ads activity to advertisers and websites hosting the ads
  • help website and app owners understand how visitors engage with their sites or apps
  • detect and defend against fraud and other risks to protect users and partners
  • improve our products

    • We do not provide any personal information that we collect to advertisers unless you have given us permission to do so. If you are not a Orbit member, email us at support@orbitcme.com to learn how to opt out.

    What third-party cookies does Orbit use?

    Some names of third-party cookies that Orbit uses includes Google Ads cookie, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel, LogDNA, and Auth0. Please note that the names of cookies, pixels and other technologies may change over time. Please also note that companies and other organizations that sponsor pages on Orbit may use cookies, pixels or other technologies on their Orbit pages to learn about your interest in them.

    Controlling cookies

    Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.

    What to do if you don't want cookies to be set or want them to be removed?

    If you do not want to receive cookies, you can change your browser settings on your computer or other device you're using to access our services. If you use Orbit without changing your browser settings, we'll assume that you're happy to receive all cookies on the Orbit website. Most browsers also provide functionality that lets you review and erase cookies, including Orbit cookies. Please note that the Orbit site will not work properly without cookies.

    To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit wikipedia.org, www.allaboutcookies.org, or www.aboutcookies.org.
