What Project Party knows about you
Last updated August 23, 2026 · public beta
Account information
When you create an account, Project Party stores your name, email address, home town/state, optional ZIP code, and account status. If you use email/password sign-in, Project Party stores a salted password hash rather than your password. Account-security records may also include email-verification status, failed-login counters, password-reset token hashes, and security-event metadata. If you use Google or Facebook sign-in, Project Party stores the provider name, the provider-specific account identifier, and the email address returned by that provider. Your email address is not displayed to other members.
Location
Your home town or ZIP is converted to an approximate geographic center so nearby project search works. Project listings use a town/ZIP-based approximate location publicly; a project's exact street address is stored separately and is released only to the host, administrators, and helpers the host has accepted.
If you choose Use my location, your browser provides a location for that search. V5 reduces that location's precision before sending it to Project Party and does not save it to your profile or a project. You can always search by town or ZIP instead.
Project and community activity
Project Party stores projects you host, applications you submit, crew decisions, attendance, reviews, skill endorsements, reports, notifications, and moderation actions. This information is needed for the community and safety features to work.
What other members can see
- Your display name, home town/state, profile bio, participation history, attendance rate, recommendations, endorsements, and eligible review comments.
- Public project information such as title, description, town/state, date, crew size, tools, physical demands, and other host-provided details.
- Your email address is not shown to other members.
- Exact project addresses are not public and are released only after a host accepts a helper.
Sign-in providers and cookies
Project Party uses a secure session cookie so you can stay signed in and a short-lived security cookie while Google or Facebook sign-in is in progress. Choosing a social sign-in provider sends you to that provider, which processes the sign-in under its own privacy terms. Project Party does not embed Google or Facebook tracking pixels and does not receive your social posts, friends list, or password.
Site analytics
Project Party uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to see how many people visit the site and which pages they land on. It does not use cookies, does not fingerprint your device, and does not track you across other websites. We use it only in aggregate, to understand overall traffic — never to identify individual visitors.
Service infrastructure
Project Party runs on Cloudflare infrastructure. Like most Internet services, Cloudflare may process technical request information such as IP address, browser details, timestamps, security events, and request metadata as part of delivering and protecting the service.
Data sharing
Project Party does not sell personal information. Information is disclosed inside the service only as described above, or when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect the service, investigate abuse, or respond to a safety issue.
Retention, account deletion, and privacy requests
Project Party keeps account and participation records while an account is active and may retain moderation/safety records when reasonably necessary to protect the community. During the public beta, you can request account deletion or another privacy action using the site's Beta Feedback form. Include the email address on your account and select “Other.” The administrator will verify the request before deleting or de-identifying account data as appropriate. Disconnecting Google or Facebook from your Project Party profile removes that provider identity from Project Party; it does not delete your Google or Facebook account.
Security
Project Party uses encrypted HTTPS connections, secure session cookies, password hashing, access controls around private addresses, request throttling, optional Cloudflare Turnstile checks, email verification/account recovery when email delivery is enabled, optional authenticator-based MFA for administrators, moderation, and restrictive browser security headers. No Internet service can promise perfect security, so members should still avoid posting information that does not belong in a project listing.
Changes to this notice
This notice will be updated as the beta adds material features such as project photos, additional notification services, or additional service providers.
