How data moves through your Orca instance. All connections are yours.
This page documents how data flows through a configured Orca instance. It is intended to support your own data mapping obligations under UK GDPR and your internal information security processes.
The core principle of Orca's architecture is simple: your data flows between your device and your own service accounts. OMG Center Limited (the company that builds and configures Orca) is not part of that flow. We do not receive, process, store, or transmit your operational data at any point.
Notice that OMG Center does not appear anywhere in the data flow below. Your data moves between your device and your own service accounts. That is by design.
Orca connects to two categories of data source. Both are authorised and controlled entirely by you.
You authenticate Orca with your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace account using OAuth. Orca reads the following data types from your account:
The OAuth token that grants this access is stored in your device's OS keychain. Neither OMG Center nor any third party has access to it.
Your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
Your Orca Desktop App
If you use a transcription service such as Fireflies.ai or Otter.ai, Orca can ingest meeting transcripts to generate post-meeting summaries and follow-up actions. The connection is made using an API key from your own account with that service.
Your Transcription Service
Your Orca Desktop App
Orca is a desktop application running on your device. Data processing happens in two ways:
The following operations are performed locally by the application on your device, without sending data anywhere:
Certain features (meeting brief generation, email drafting, communication style analysis) send structured data to the Anthropic Claude API for AI processing. This uses your own Anthropic API key, which is stored in your OS keychain.

Anthropic Claude API
OMG Center has no access to your Anthropic API key and no visibility of what is sent to or received from the Claude API.
The table below shows where each category of data is stored and who controls it.
| Data Type | Storage Location | Who Controls It |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication tokens (OAuth and API keys) | Your device OS keychain (macOS Keychain / Windows Credential Manager) | You (encrypted and managed by your operating system) |
| Contact records and enrichment data | Your Supabase database | You (your Supabase project, your credentials) |
| AI analysis results and meeting briefs | Your Supabase database | You (your Supabase project, your credentials) |
| Communication style profiles | Your Supabase database | You (your Supabase project, your credentials) |
| Meeting transcripts | Your transcription service account | You (your account with Fireflies, Otter.ai, or equivalent) |
| Emails and calendar data | Your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace account | You (your Microsoft or Google account) |
| Draft emails | Your email client drafts folder | You (written back to your email account via the same OAuth connection) |
| Tasks created by Orca | Your task management platform (e.g. ClickUp) | You (your task manager account) |
Orca produces the following outputs. All outputs are written to systems you own and control.
OMG Center Limited is the company that builds and configures Orca. We hold the following information about our clients for the purpose of managing the service relationship:
That is the complete list. We have no access to your emails, calendar, contacts, meeting transcripts, AI analysis results, Supabase database, or any other operational data that Orca works with. This is not a policy choice we could reverse, it is a structural consequence of how the system is architected. Your data lives in your systems and we have no credentials to access it.
OMG Center holds only the minimum information needed to issue your licence and communicate with you. Everything else belongs to you and lives within your own infrastructure.
Because all your operational data lives within your own systems, you have complete and immediate control over deletion. There is no need to submit a request to OMG Center for your operational data, because we do not hold it.
To remove all data associated with your Orca instance:
To request deletion of the data OMG Center holds about you (name, email, company, licence record), contact chris@omgcenter.org. We will action this within 30 days, subject to any legal retention obligations.
