Privacy and your data
Your history, bookmarks, passwords, keys and app data stay on your computer. There is no Orivon account, no cloud and no sync service, so there is nothing of yours on a server of ours to lose, sell or hand over.
The one Orivon server
Orivon runs a single small endpoint, telemetry.orivonstack.com, in the EU. It is not in the path of
using any app or site, and it receives only two things, each after an explicit choice of yours.
Usage statistics, if you say yes
The first launch asks once, with two equal buttons and neither preselected. Settings > Privacy has the switch, and shows the literal text of each message before and after it is sent.
If you turn it on, Orivon sends a monthly count of time:
- how long the browser was in use, and how long it was running in the background;
- how that time splits between Web3, Web2.5 and ordinary Web2 sites;
- for public Web3 and Web2.5 sites only, their names and the seconds spent on each;
- the Orivon version, and the country of your time zone (never from your IP address).
It never sends page addresses, search text, page titles or your history. Ordinary Web2 sites are never named, not even on your own computer. Your IP address is never written to disk. A private window measures and sends nothing. One button deletes what the server holds.
Bug reports you send
A report leaves only when you write one and press Send. The form shows the full text first, with a box for each part you can leave out.
Other servers Orivon talks to
These are not ours, and we receive nothing from them. Each one is there because of something you did or switched on:
| When | Who | What they see |
|---|---|---|
You open a .eth name | Ethereum RPC and beacon servers | The name you open |
You open IPFS content or a .eth site | IPFS gateways, and for some names a DNS-over-HTTPS resolver | The content or name you open |
| A page loads | Your Web3 Score provider | A group of 16 or 256 sites, never the site itself |
| You switch on the update check | GitHub | That a check happened |
| You install Chrome Web Store extensions | Google's update server | The extensions' identifiers |
| You type in the address bar with suggestions on | Your search engine | What you type |
Every one of them sees your IP address, as any server you connect to does. Settings > Web3 lists the Web3 servers and what each one learns.
