Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 8, 2026

            The short version: MotoPartPicker is free for riders. We collect minimal data to run the service. We never sell your personal information. We use affiliate links to earn revenue — this is always disclosed.
        

1. What We Collect

Account information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and display name. If you sign in with Google or GitHub, we receive the email and name from those providers.

Bike and build data: When you add bikes to your garage or create builds, we store that information associated with your account.

Community contributions: When you verify parts compatibility, your verification (including any notes and photos) is stored and publicly associated with your display name.

Usage data: We collect anonymized analytics (pages viewed, features used) to improve the product. We do not track individual browsing behavior for advertising.

Affiliate click data: When you click a "Buy at [Retailer]" link, we log the click for affiliate tracking purposes. This includes a session identifier and timestamp, but is not linked to your personal identity.

2. How We Use Your Data

To provide the MotoPartPicker service (compatibility lookups, builds, verifications)
To display your public profile and contributions to other riders
To send transactional emails (account verification, notifications you've opted into)
To track affiliate referrals and earn commission from retailers
To improve the product through anonymized usage analytics

3. What We Don't Do

We never sell your personal information to third parties
We never share your email with retailers or manufacturers
We never use your data for targeted advertising
We never let affiliate commissions influence compatibility data or sort order

4. Affiliate Links Disclosure

MotoPartPicker earns a commission (typically 5-7%) when you purchase parts through our links. This is how we keep the tool free for riders. Affiliate relationships never affect our compatibility data, confidence scores, or the order in which parts are displayed.

5. Data Sharing

We share data with the following categories of service providers, solely to operate the service:

Hosting: Fly.io (application hosting), Neon (database), Cloudflare (CDN/storage)
Authentication: Google and GitHub (OAuth login only)
Email: Resend (transactional email)
Error tracking: Sentry (anonymized error reports)
Payment processing: Stripe (retailer subscriptions only — we never process rider payments)

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

Access your personal data (email us and we'll send you a copy)
Correct inaccurate data (update your profile at any time)
Delete your account and associated data (email us or use account settings)
Export your builds and contributions (CSV export available)
Opt out of non-essential emails at any time

California residents have additional rights under CCPA. We do not sell personal information as defined by CCPA.

7. Data Retention

Account data is retained as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, personal data is removed within 30 days. Anonymized community contributions (verifications) may be retained to preserve the compatibility database, but will be disassociated from your identity.

8. Security

We use HTTPS for all connections, encrypt data at rest, and follow industry-standard security practices. Passwords are hashed with bcrypt. We do not store payment card information (Stripe handles all payment processing).

9. Children

MotoPartPicker is not intended for use by anyone under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

10. Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be communicated via email to registered users. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
