PartPact privacy
PartPact is built to keep model files, addresses, payment status, helper records, and support messages controlled inside the platform. This page explains the launch approach in plain English.
Last updated: 15 May 2026.
What PartPact collects
- Account details such as name, email, profile role, helper status, and account settings.
- Job details such as titles, print notes, quantity, material, colour choices, quote status, payment status, claim status, and shipping status.
- Uploaded files such as STL models, reference files, helper starter test images, proof photos, and proof of postage images.
- Delivery details such as recipient name, delivery address, postcode, and optional phone number for carrier use.
- Support, issue, report, and job messages sent inside PartPact.
- Security and audit records such as login/session activity, status changes, moderation decisions, and admin actions.
- Payment records such as Stripe Checkout session IDs, payment status, job totals, connected account status, Stripe transfer IDs, and non-sensitive payout references.
Service providers
- Supabase stores account data, database records, authentication sessions, and private storage objects.
- Vercel hosts the PartPact website and runs server-side application code.
- Stripe handles customer card payments through hosted Checkout and helper payout setup through Stripe Connect. PartPact does not store full card numbers, CVC codes, card expiry dates, or helper bank details.
- Cloudflare Turnstile checks public forms for bot and abuse protection.
- postcodes.io receives postcodes entered into postcode lookup so PartPact can help format UK addresses.
- Resend or another configured email provider may send account, password, support, and job update emails.
- Sendcloud, Shippo, Royal Mail, Evri, or another approved shipping tool may receive delivery details when needed for postage estimates, labels, tracking, or fulfilment support.
Files and addresses
- Public quote STL files are read temporarily to calculate an estimate and are not saved unless you sign in and create a job draft.
- Signed-in job files are stored privately and are not made public.
- Helpers only get access to production model files after the correct claim and approval steps.
- Buyer addresses are separate from general job details and are released to the correct helper only after proof approval.
- Signed file links are short-lived and should not be shared outside the job flow.
- Do not include passwords, secret project names, private notes, or personal contact details in uploaded filenames.
Helper information
- Helpers may need to provide application details, printer information, material approvals, starter test photos, Stripe connected account status, and payout status records.
- PartPact does not store helper bank details, customer card details, CVC codes, or card expiry dates in the app.
- If paid helper volume grows, PartPact may need to collect identity, tax, or reporting information to meet UK legal obligations. That should happen only through a reviewed secure process.
- Helper earnings may need to be recorded and reported where law requires it. Helpers remain responsible for their own tax position.
Retention and rights
- PartPact keeps account and job records while your account, job, support request, dispute, accounting record, safety record, or legal obligation still needs them.
- Uploaded models, proof photos, postage proof, and messages may be kept while a job is active and for a reasonable period afterwards for support, safety, fraud prevention, accounting, or legal reasons.
- Delivery addresses are kept only for fulfilment, support, record keeping, dispute handling, or legal obligations.
- Audit logs are kept for security, fraud prevention, accountability, and operational records.
- If PartPact no longer needs a record and there is no legal or operational reason to keep it, it should be deleted or anonymised during normal data cleanup.
You can contact PartPact about privacy questions, access requests, or deletion requests at support@partpact.com. You can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office if you are unhappy with how personal data is handled.
