Your Privacy

Privacy of our apps

Parta takes your privacy very seriously. Read the text below for more information about our privacy policy of the apps. This concerns both the iOS, Android and web apps.

Our privacy principles

Privacy protection is one of our core values. Parta is very dedicated to guard this value. We are very careful about how we handle your data. We aim to make as much data as possible anonymous. If this is not possible we minimize access to your data as much as posssible.


Below you can read how we handle data in Parta using frequently asked questions. Is your question not listed? Contact us to make sure it is answered.

Why do I need a username?
You can only vote once. To check if you already voted, we link a voting pass to your account. te username is not shared with organizers of the topic. Your username does not have to be your real name.

If the username you chose is already in use, you will receive a warning. Please pick a different username when this happens
How do we protect your password?
Your password is not saved. A one-way hash of your password is saved. If you forget your password and you received a code to participate in a topic, you can reset your password yourself using the code. If you did not receive a code you can contact us. We will provide you with a link to reset the password.
Can somebody else see what I voted for?
No, there is voting secrecy just like paper elections. You will receive a digital votingpass when you click on a voting activity the first time. This is recorded in the voting pass registration. When you select an option and click on vote, the votingpass is marked as used. In a separate registration the option you selected is marked and a vote is added. In this registration there is no link to your account or votingpass.

How long is my account saved?

We store your account so you can participate in multiple topics. You can remove your account in the app. We delete the topics you were following and the codes you have used. You can't reuse these codes anymore.The answers you have given stay in the system.

Why can't I see what I voted for?
You receive a digital votingpass when you click on a voting activity of a topic. This is stored in the votingpass registration. Once you vote, your votingpass is marked as used in the votingpass registration. Your votes are added to the options you selected in a separate registration. In this registration there is no link to your account or your votingpass. This means there is no way to know who voted for what option. For that reason we can not show in Parta what you voted for.

How can I delete my data?

There are two ways to delete your data: by removing your account in the app or by sending us an email.
