Privacy Policy

How PartyPick collects, uses, and stores your information.

This is placeholder text, tailored to what the site actually does. The sections and bullet points below reflect PartyPick's real features so you (or a solicitor, or a generator like Termly) have less to fill in from scratch -- but the actual wording still needs proper legal review before this goes live. Replace anything in [brackets].

1. Who this policy covers

[Placeholder -- this policy applies to anyone using PartyPick, whether browsing as a visitor, signed in as a buyer, or signed in as a seller.]

2. Information we collect

Based on how PartyPick actually works today, this includes:

Account details: name, email address, and password (stored as a secure hash, never in plain text)
For sellers: business name, location, an optional shop logo, an optional bio, and an optional portfolio link
Listings: titles, descriptions, prices, locations, and uploaded photos
An optional postcode per listing, used to power "near me" distance search -- this gets converted into a map coordinate via a third-party postcode lookup service (postcodes.io)
Messages sent between buyers and sellers about a listing
Which listings a buyer has saved or passed on
Standard technical data such as session cookies used to keep you signed in

3. How we use this information

[Placeholder -- e.g., to operate the swipe deck and saved/passed lists, to let buyers and sellers message each other, to power location-based search, and to email you directly (see below).]

4. Emails we send

PartyPick sends transactional emails only -- not marketing. Specifically:

A password reset link, if you request one
A notification when you receive a new message from a buyer or seller

5. Third parties

[Placeholder -- disclose any third-party services that process data on your behalf, such as postcodes.io (UK postcode lookups) and your web host's email server.]

6. Data retention and deletion

[Placeholder -- how long data is kept, and how someone can request their account or data be deleted.]

7. Your rights

[Placeholder -- rights under UK GDPR, such as access, correction, deletion, and how to exercise them.]

8. Changes to this policy

[Placeholder -- how and when you may update this policy.]

9. Contact

[Placeholder -- how someone can reach you with questions about this policy.]
