Last updated: February 24, 2026
No Third-Party Data Sharing
We will never sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share your data with any third-party entities. Your information stays with PatchDesk — period.
We Do Not View Your Data
Your tickets, bugs, customer conversations, and business data are yours alone. PatchDesk staff will never access or view your content.
Encrypted Storage
All data is stored in encrypted databases. Sensitive information is encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption algorithms.
Identity Verification Only
Any personal information we collect — such as your name and email address — is used solely to verify your identity and provide you access to your account.
1. Information We Collect
We collect only the minimum information necessary to provide our services and verify your identity:
- Account information: Your name, email address, and company name, used to create and manage your account.
- Authentication data: Passwords (stored as irreversible hashes) and multi-factor authentication credentials, used solely to secure your account.
- Usage data: Basic server logs (IP addresses, browser type, access times) necessary for security monitoring and service reliability.
All personal information collected is used exclusively to ensure your true identity and provide you with secure access to PatchDesk.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your information is used strictly for the following purposes:
- To verify your identity and authenticate your access to PatchDesk.
- To provide, maintain, and improve our services.
- To send essential account-related communications (e.g., password resets, security alerts).
- To process payments through our secure payment processor, Stripe.
We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond delivering our service to you.
3. No Third-Party Sharing
We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose your data to any third-party entities.
The only exception is our payment processor, Stripe, which receives the minimum information necessary to process your subscription payments. Stripe operates under its own privacy policy and is PCI DSS Level 1 certified — the highest level of payment security certification.
We will only disclose information if required by law, such as in response to a valid court order or legal process. In such cases, we will notify you unless legally prohibited from doing so.
4. We Do Not Access Your Data
PatchDesk staff will not view, access, or read your customer data. This includes your bug reports, support tickets, customer conversations, internal notes, team communications, and any other content you create within PatchDesk.
Your data is yours. We provide the platform — we do not inspect what you put on it.
5. Data Security & Encryption
We take the security of your data seriously. All data is protected using multiple layers of security:
- Encryption at rest: All databases are encrypted. Sensitive fields such as personal information are additionally encrypted at the application level.
- Encryption in transit: All connections to PatchDesk are secured with TLS/SSL encryption.
- Password security: Passwords are hashed using bcrypt with salt rounds, making them irreversible.
- Multi-tenant isolation: Row-level security policies ensure that each organization's data is strictly isolated from all others.
- Multi-factor authentication: Optional MFA via TOTP, email, or SMS adds an additional layer of account protection.
6. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Correct any inaccurate information in your account.
- Delete your account and all associated data.
- Export your data at any time using our built-in export tools.
