Privacy Policy

PARTILE LTD · Last updated: 10 March 2026

The Short Version: Partile is a professional networking app for airport travellers. We collect only what we need to match you with relevant people nearby, we don't sell your data, and we delete trip information within 72 hours.

1. Who We Are

Partile is operated by PARTILE LTD, a company incorporated in England and Wales. When we say "Partile," "we," or "us," we mean PARTILE LTD.

If you have questions about your data, contact us at privacy@partile.app.


2. What Data We Collect

Data from LinkedIn Sign-In

When you sign in with LinkedIn, we receive:

We use LinkedIn OAuth with the following scopes only: openid, profile, and email. We do not access your LinkedIn connections, posts, messages, or any other LinkedIn data.

Data You Provide

During onboarding and use, you may provide:

Boarding Pass Data

When you scan your boarding pass, we extract:

What we don't store: We do not retain the barcode image, your booking reference (PNR), frequent flyer number, seat assignment, or any other data encoded on your boarding pass beyond what's listed above. The barcode is processed in real time and discarded.

Location Data

If you grant location permission, we use approximate location to enhance terminal-level matching. Location data is used in real time and is not stored long-term. Location permission is optional — the app works without it using boarding pass data alone.

Technical Data

We collect minimal technical data for the app to function: device type and operating system, app version, and crash logs. We do not use third-party analytics trackers or advertising SDKs.


3. How We Use Your Data

We use your data for the following purposes only:

9. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, secure authentication via LinkedIn OAuth, and access controls limiting who on our team can access user data.

No system is 100% secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security — but we're committed to industry-standard protections.


10. International Transfers

Your data may be processed on servers outside the UK or EU. Where this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or adequacy decisions, in compliance with UK GDPR and EU GDPR requirements.


11. Age Restriction

Partile is designed for professional travellers. You must be at least 18 years old to use Partile. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. If we discover that a user is under 16, we will delete their account and data immediately.


12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we'll notify you in the app or by email. The "Last updated" date at the top always reflects the current version.
