Courier Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Orbital Kitchens Holdings Group, Inc. ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and shares information through the Courier App, used by couriers to accept, navigate, and complete deliveries on our platform.

Information we collect
  • Account: email and password, used to authenticate your session.

  • Location: GPS coordinates recorded continuously while you're checked in (roughly every 10–30 seconds depending on your status), used to assign orders, route you, and confirm arrival at drop-offs. A one-time location check also confirms you're at a facility when checking in.

  • Camera: used to scan pickup QR codes and capture proof-of-delivery photos, uploaded to our cloud storage (Microsoft Azure). We don't access your photo library.

  • Device/notifications: a push token (via Google Firebase Cloud Messaging) used to alert you to new assignments.

  • Motion and Bluetooth: used only to improve automatic arrival detection during deliveries (see Section 2).

  • Customer information: during a delivery, the App shows you the customer's name, address, phone number, and order details so you can complete the drop-off. Treat this as confidential.

 

We do not access your contacts, photo library, health data, or biometric data, and we do not use advertising identifiers or analytics/tracking SDKs.

Background Location

The App requests "Always" location access so it can detect your arrival at a drop-off even when the App is backgrounded or your screen is off, enabling automatic delivery confirmation instead of a manual step. This background monitoring is scoped to roughly a 250-meter radius around an active drop-off address; the continuous shift-long location reporting described above runs separately whenever you're checked in. Disabling location access in your device settings will prevent you from going online or accepting deliveries.

How we share information
  • Our own dispatch systems, to assign and track orders.

  • Doorstep.ai, which receives your background location, Bluetooth, and motion data directly from your device during an active delivery to detect arrival, and shows a visible "delivery in progress" notification on Android while doing so. This stops when you leave the drop-off area, complete or cancel the delivery, or after two hours.

  • Google Firebase, for push notification delivery only (no analytics or ads).

  • Apple Maps / Google Maps, for navigation.

  • Microsoft Azure, for proof-of-delivery photo storage.

  • Customers, who may see your first name and delivery status.

  • Legal/safety authorities, when required by law or necessary to protect safety.

 

We do not sell your information or share it for third-party advertising.

Retention, Access, Deletion

We retain different categories of information for different periods, based on what's needed for dispatch operations, safety, and legal/accounting requirements. Account information (email and password) is retained for as long as your account is active with Orbital Kitchens, and for 30 days after your employment or contractor relationship ends, then deleted. Location data is retained for 48 hours to support dispatch, route verification, and delivery dispute resolution, then deleted. Proof-of-delivery photos are retained for 6 months to resolve delivery disputes and meet accounting and legal recordkeeping requirements, then deleted. Motion and Bluetooth data used for automatic arrival detection is not retained beyond the active delivery window described in Section 2 — it is processed in real time and not stored afterward. Push notification tokens are retained until you log out, are offboarded, or uninstall the App, at which point they are invalidated.

​

Courier accounts are created and managed by Orbital Kitchens through our internal employer-managed systems, not by couriers through the App itself. To request access to your data, or to request deletion of your account and associated data, contact your courier manager or tech@orbitalkitchens.com; deletion requests are processed through Orbital Kitchens' internal dispatch and HR systems. When your account is deleted, we delete the data associated with it, except where we are required or permitted to retain records for security, fraud prevention, safety investigations, or legal, tax, and accounting recordkeeping — in which case we retain only what is necessary, use it solely for that purpose, and delete it once the retention period or matter concludes. Account deactivation or offboarding alone does not constitute deletion; deletion must be separately requested.

​

If you're in California, the EU/UK, or another jurisdiction with specific privacy rights, you can exercise them through the same contact.

Your Controls

You can manage camera, location, and notification permissions in your device settings, though disabling location or camera will limit core functionality. Logging out stops location reporting, removes your push token, and clears local session data from your device.

Security

We use encrypted transmission (HTTPS/TLS), secure on-device credential storage, and access controls limiting who can view courier and delivery data.

Children

The App is for couriers meeting the minimum working age in their jurisdiction and is not directed to children.

Changes & Contact

We'll update the effective date above if we make material changes to this Policy.
