Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
partyline (“partyline”, “we”, “us”) is operated by 1550652 BC Ltd, a company incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. This policy explains what we collect and why. It is a general policy, not legal advice.
What we collect
- Account info — your email, name, and avatar, provided by GitHub or Google when you sign in, or your email when you use an email sign-in code.
- Profile & preferences — display name, timezone, and notification settings you choose.
- Session metadata — join codes, the orgs/teams/people on a line, and timestamps. We use this to run and coordinate sessions.
- Diagnostics — crash and error reports (via Sentry) to keep the service working. We don't attach your name or IP to these.
- Cookies & analytics — an essential cookie to keep you signed in, and Google Analytics to understand aggregate usage (which pages are used, roughly where visitors come from). No advertising cookies; we don't sell your data.
Your terminal sessions are end-to-end encrypted
Live sessions are end-to-end encrypted. Terminal data is encrypted on your machine and decrypted only by the people you share the link with. Our relay (pppp.sh) forwards ciphertext it cannot read, and the encryption key lives only in the join link — it is never sent to us. We can't see your session content, and we don't record it. The relay does see connection metadata(the routing code, timing, and data volume), not what's on your screen. Treat the join link like a password — anyone who has it can join and decrypt the session.
Who we share data with (subprocessors)
We use a small set of trusted providers to run partyline:
- Supabase — authentication and database
- Control Plane — application hosting
- Resend — transactional email (invites, sign-in codes)
- Sentry — error diagnostics
- Google Analytics — aggregate, privacy-respecting usage analytics
- Slack — only if you connect a Slack workspace for notifications
- GitHub / Google — only when you choose to sign in with them
We do not sell your personal data.
Retention & your rights
We keep account and session metadata for as long as your account is active. You can access, correct, or delete your data — email us and we'll help. partyline is not directed to children under 16.
Changes & contact
We'll update this page if our practices change. Questions or requests: privacy@partyline.sh.
