Privacy Policy

How PartnAir collects, uses and protects your personal data.

Last updated · 16 July 2026

TBF, publisher of the PartnAir service, is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy describes, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the "GDPR") and the French Data Protection Act, the processing of personal data carried out through the partn-air.com website and the PartnAir applications.

PartnAir is sold exclusively to parts distributors and distribution groups. Partner workshops are beneficiary users equipped by their distributor; they do not subscribe to the Service directly.

1. Data controller

The data controller is TBF, Simplified joint-stock company (SAS – société par actions simplifiée) with share capital of 100 €, whose registered office is at 27 rue Louis Eydoux, 31400 Toulouse, France, registered under RCS Toulouse 105 235 584.

Data protection contact: privacy@partn-air.com.

Where PartnAir processes data on behalf of a distributor customer — including data originating from the partner workshops it equips, their customers, vehicles and requests — TBF acts as a processor within the meaning of Article 28 GDPR. The terms are set out in the Data Processing Agreement (DPA) entered into with the distributor.

2. Data collected

Data you provide

  • Account and identity: name, email, phone number, role, company (distributor customer, distribution group or partner-workshop user).
  • Business content: parts requests, vehicle registrations and details, parts photos, quotes, orders, messages exchanged.
  • Distributor and group billing: company name, registration number, address, billing details (card numbers are never stored by PartnAir — see Stripe).
  • Support: content of your exchanges with our team.

Data collected automatically

  • Connection and technical data: IP address, session identifier, device and browser type, timestamps, event logs.
  • Usage data: pages viewed, actions in the app, interactions with the AI agents.
  • Trackers: cookies and similar technologies, as described in the Cookie Policy.

4. Processing by AI agents

PartnAir relies on AI agents that interpret requests, analyse parts photos, identify references and prepare quotes and orders. These operations use models provided by sub-processors (see §7).

  • Your business content may be sent to these models solely to produce the expected response, as part of delivering the Service.
  • We do not allow our providers to train their models on your data: processing is limited to inference.
  • Human oversight remains available: sensitive or disputed cases can be escalated to a human operator.
  • Decisions with contractual effect (quotes, orders) require human validation; no solely automated decision within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR is taken without possible intervention.
Full details of the agents' operation and safeguards are set out in the AI Usage Policy.

5. Recipients

  • Authorised PartnAir staff, within the limits of their duties.
  • The distributor customer and authorised users at partner workshops in its network, within the relevant case and their assigned permissions.
  • Our technical sub-processors (§7), bound by confidentiality and security obligations.
  • Administrative or judicial authorities, where required by law.

PartnAir does not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.

6. Data isolation

Data is logically isolated per distributor customer through database-level security rules (PostgreSQL Row Level Security). Partner workshops are attached to their distributor's scope with access limited to their cases; one distributor cannot access another distributor's data.

7. Sub-processors and transfers outside the EU

We use the following sub-processors to deliver the Service. Some are located outside the European Union; the corresponding transfers are governed by appropriate safeguards (European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses).
