Section 01
Who is the data controller
Packd Travel Ltd is the data controller for personal data processed through the Packd platform. For data protection queries contact hello@getpackd.org.
Section 02
What we collect
- Account data — name, email address, password hash.
- Trip data — trips you plan, travellers you invite, itinerary preferences.
- Payment data — a reference to your Stripe payment. Raw card details are never stored by Packd.
- Communications — emails you send or receive from us.
- Usage data — anonymised analytics about how the site is used, so we can improve it.
Section 03
Why we use it
- To operate your account and deliver the trips you book.
- To process payments and detect fraud, in cooperation with Stripe.
- To communicate with you about trips, changes and support requests.
- To improve Packd — measure what works and fix what doesn't.
Section 04
Lawful basis
We rely on contract to deliver the trips you book, legitimate interests to keep the platform secure and to improve it, and consent for optional marketing where required by UK law.
Section 06
International transfers
Some providers may process data outside the UK/EU. Where they do, we rely on transfer mechanisms recognised under UK GDPR (such as Standard Contractual Clauses).
Section 07
How long we keep it
We keep personal data for as long as needed to operate your account, run your trip and meet our legal obligations — then we delete or anonymise it.
Section 08
Your rights
You can ask us to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct data that's wrong or out of date.
- Delete data we no longer have a lawful reason to keep.
- Restrict or object to certain processing.
- Receive a portable copy of your data.
To exercise any of these rights, email hello@getpackd.org. You can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Section 09
Children's data
Packd is not intended for use by children. Where a trip organiser adds a minor as a traveller, they confirm they have authority to share that traveller's information with us and the relevant suppliers.
