I. Company & Product Information
Parts Companion is developed by Evolve Labs, which is part of Evolve. Evolve's mission is to expand consciousness, reduce inner suffering, and help individuals on their personal-transformation journeys. Evolve is an umbrella organization with three symbiotic divisions: Evolve Ventures, Evolve Foundation, and Evolve Labs. Evolve Labs develops technologies, products, and services in-house, including Parts Companion. Evolve Labs is not a medical group or a health care provider.
Parts Companion provides Internal Family Systems (IFS) clients and practitioners with the ability to record, transcribe, and analyze their therapy sessions. Our platform allows clients and practitioners to either invite our bot to their calendar events on platforms like Zoom or Google Meet, or to upload recordings of their sessions directly.

III. Personal Information
What is Personal Information?
Personal information is information from and about you that may directly or indirectly identify you. We treat any information that may identify you as personal information. For example, your name and e-mail address are personal information.
Which types of Personal Information do we collect?
We may collect and use the following personal information (hereinafter referred to as "Personal Information"):
Specific Types of Personal Information Collected:
- Personal Identifiers
Categories of Personal Information
Information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is capable of being associated with a particular individual name, username or online identifier, physical characteristics or description, shipping address, telephone number, credit card number, debit card number, or any other financial information, health or medical information.
Characteristics of protected classifications under federal law:
- Race, Color, Medical Conditions, Age, Gender/Sex, National origin, or Disability
- Internet or other electronic network activity information
- IP address, device mode, device ID, OS version, device language, operating system, browser type, browsing history, search history, and information regarding a consumer's interaction with an Internet Web site, application, or advertisement.
- Geolocation data
- Physical location or movements, local time, and local time zone.
Session Recordings and Transcripts
We collect and process audio recordings and transcripts of therapy sessions that you provide to us when using our Platform. This includes sessions recorded through our recorder when invited to a calendar event, or sessions directly uploaded to our Platform. These recordings and transcripts may contain sensitive personal and health information.
How we handle session recordings and transcripts:
- All recordings and transcripts are encrypted both at rest and in transit.
- Recordings and transcripts are kept for as long as your account is active, unless you delete them sooner. When you delete a session or your account, the recording, transcript, notes, and everything derived from them are removed from our live systems immediately, and copies in our backups expire within 30 days. Our sub-processors delete their transient copies within the periods listed on our sub-processor page.
- Recordings and transcripts are analyzed using our AI processing pipeline to generate reports and insights. Every partner that handles this information is bound by a written contract, including a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement where applicable, and none of them may use it to train artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
- Access to recordings and transcripts within our company is restricted and monitored.
- Your recordings and transcripts may be accessed where necessary to provide Services or when you explicitly authorize the use of session data for research and development purposes.
- We may create de-identified data from recordings, transcripts, and notes by removing the identifiers listed in the HIPAA safe harbor standard (45 C.F.R. § 164.514(b)(2)) and any other information that could reasonably identify you or your clients, and use that de-identified data for research, evaluation, and improvement of the Platform. We do not attempt to re-identify it, and identifiable session content is never used to train AI models unless you donate the session.
Health Information
When combined with health information, some Personal Information we collect may constitute protected health information under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA"). Evolve Labs operates under HIPAA regulations and strictly enforces HIPAA requirements with partnerships through Business Associate Agreements (BAAs).
For Practitioner-Users who are covered entities under HIPAA, we offer a Business Associate Agreement that can be accessed at https://app.partscompanion.org/onboarding/practitioner/baa. For Practitioner-Users in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or Australia, we offer a Data Processing Addendum that can be read at app.partscompanion.org/legal/dpa and signed at app.partscompanion.org/practitioner/dpa.
We collect, use, and disclose protected health information for the purposes of providing the Services and we only collect the minimum amount necessary to fully perform and provide the Services on our Platform. Protected health information will not be used for any other purpose without your consent.
How do we collect your Personal Information?
We collect most of this Personal Information directly from you. For example, when we speak to you by phone, text message, and e-mail. Additionally, we will collect information from you when you visit our Website, submit forms, contact us, use our Software, or purchase our Services.

If applicable, this information would include the categories of Personal Information and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we shared your Personal Information with for the immediately prior calendar year (e.g. requests made in 2021 will receive information regarding such activities in 2020).

IX. UK and EU Users (GDPR and UK GDPR)
If you are in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, or Switzerland, the UK GDPR, the EU General Data Protection Regulation, or the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection applies to our handling of your personal data in addition to the protections described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.
Who is responsible for your data. For the information we hold about you as an account holder (your name, email address, billing details, settings, and usage), Evolve Labs, Inc., 601 16th St, STE-175, Golden, CO 80401, United States, is the controller. For session recordings, transcripts, and notes that a practitioner records or uploads about their clients, the practitioner is the controller and Evolve Labs is their processor, acting under our Data Processing Addendum. If you are a client, your practitioner is responsible for telling you about the recording and for obtaining your consent; questions about that consent should go to them first, and we will help either of you exercise your rights.
Legal bases. We process account data to perform our contract with you (Article 6(1)(b)), to comply with legal obligations (Article 6(1)(c)), and for our legitimate interests in securing and improving the Platform (Article 6(1)(f)). Session content is health data, which we process on the practitioner's instructions and on the basis of the explicit consent the practitioner obtains (Article 9(2)(a)) or the practitioner's provision of care under professional confidentiality (Article 9(2)(h)). Session donation for research relies on your separate, explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
International transfers. Your data is processed in the United States. We rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (Module Two) and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, incorporated into our Data Processing Addendum, together with the safeguards described in Section VII. We do not rely on your consent as the basis for these transfers.
Retention. We keep your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete a session or your account, the data is removed from our live systems immediately and from backups within 30 days, unless we are required by law to keep it longer.
Your rights. You have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Have inaccurate personal data corrected
- Have your personal data erased
- Restrict or object to our processing
- Receive your data in a portable, machine-readable format
- Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal
- Not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects. The Platform's AI-generated notes and assessments are aids for you and your practitioner and do not make such decisions.
Access, portability, and erasure are available from your account settings. For rectification, restriction, objection, and withdrawal of consent, write tohello@partscompanion.org. We will respond within one month. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority: in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk); in the EU, the authority of the Member State where you live or work.
X. Australian Privacy Act
If you are located in Australia, the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) apply to our handling of your personal information in addition to the protections described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.
Sensitive Information. Session recordings, transcripts, and any health-related information we collect through the Platform constitute sensitive information under the Privacy Act. We collect this sensitive information only with your explicit consent, which you provide when you accept our Terms of Service and when you upload or record a session through the Platform.
Overseas disclosure (APP 8). Your information is stored and processed in the United States by Evolve Labs and the sub-processors listed in Section IV. If you are a practitioner, our Data Processing Addendum binds us to handle your clients' information in a manner consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles, so that you can meet your own obligations under APP 8.1.
Your Rights. Under the APPs, you have the right to:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you (APP 12)
- Request correction of personal information that is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading (APP 13)
- Request deletion of your personal information by deleting your account
- Export your data in a machine-readable format through your account settings
We will respond to all access and correction requests within 30 days of receipt. You can exercise these rights through your account settings or by contacting us at hello@partscompanion.org.
Complaints. If you believe we have breached the Australian Privacy Principles, you may lodge a complaint with us at hello@partscompanion.org. We will investigate and respond to your complaint within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au.
XI. Changes to our Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our privacy practices, laws, and best practices. We will post any changes we make to our Privacy Policy on this page with a notice that the Privacy Policy has been updated on our Website's homepage. If we make material changes to our practices with regards to the Personal Information we collect from you, we will notify you by e-mail to the e-mail address specified in your account and/or through a notice on the Platform. The date this Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable e-mail address for you, and for periodically accessing the Platform and reviewing this Privacy Policy to check for any changes.
