Privacy policy
What this site collects, what it doesn't, and what our advertising partners do.
Last updated 14 September 2026
The short version
PartMatch has no accounts, no sign-in and no newsletter. We do not ask you for your name, your email address or any other personal detail in order to use the site. Everything you search for is matched in your own browser — the compatibility index is downloaded with the page, so your searches are not sent to us.
What your browser stores
The site installs a service worker so that pages you have already opened still work when your connection drops. It stores copies of those pages in your browser’s own cache. This data never leaves your device, is not readable by us, and is cleared when you clear site data.
IMEI lookup
When you type an IMEI into the search box, it is checked in your browser. Only its first 8 digits — the code shared by every phone of that model — are sent to our server to look up the model name. Those digits identify a model, not your phone, and are not stored. The rest of the IMEI never leaves your device.
Server logs
Like almost every website, our hosting records standard request logs: the page requested, the time, the browser’s user-agent string and the IP address the request came from. These are used to keep the service running and to diagnose faults. We do not use them to build profiles of visitors.
Analytics
We do not run Google Analytics or any equivalent third-party analytics script.
Advertising
This site does not currently display advertising and sets no advertising cookies. If that changes, this policy will be updated before any ad is served, and visitors in regions that require it will be asked for consent first.
Third-party content
Pages may link to manufacturer or supplier websites. We do not control those sites and they have their own privacy practices. There are no affiliate links and we receive nothing if you follow one.
Children
This site is aimed at phone repair professionals. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Your rights
Depending on where you live you may have the right to ask what personal data is held about you, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted. Because we hold no accounts and no contact details, in practice this usually concerns server logs or data held by our advertising partners. We will help with either.
Changes
Material changes will be reflected in the “last updated” date at the top of this page.
Contact
A contact address has not been configured for this site yet. One is required before advertising can be enabled — see Contact.
