What Orchid does with your messages
Read from its published policy on 2026-09-06, and quoted rather than paraphrased. It says it trains only a model of your own. Your messages are carried by Linq.
What the document says
| Trains on your conversations | Your model only |
|---|---|
| Data of people who never signed up | Not addressed |
| If you cancel | Removed from production within 30 days, backups overwritten within a further 30 days |
| Model providers named | Google Vertex AI, OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter |
| Who carries the messages | Linq (SMS and iMessage) |
| Where to report a hole | No route published |
| Jurisdiction | Not stated |
In its own words
“We don't train shared models on your data. We train your model on your data.”
What it does not answer
The policy is silent on where to report a hole and jurisdiction. Silence is not a denial, and it is not a promise either: a document that does not address the people in your group thread has not agreed to anything about them.
