Privacy Policy
Introduction
This following document sets forth the Privacy Policy for the Pattern Catcher Pty Ltd website and affiliated services. This document applies across all websites that we own and operate and all services we provide, including our online products and any other apps or services we may offer (for example, events or training). For the purpose of this notice, we’ll just call them our ‘services. ’ www.patterncatcher.com. Pattern Catcher Pty Ltd is committed to providing you with the best possible customer service experience. Pattern Catcher Pty Ltd is bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Crh), which sets out a number of principles concerning the privacy of individuals.
Collection of your personal information
When we say ‘personal data’ we mean identifiable information about you, like your name, email,
address, telephone number, bank account details, payment information, support queries, community
comments and so on. If you can’t be identified (for example, when personal data has been aggregated
and anonymised) then this notice doesn’t apply. Check out our terms of use for more information on how
we treat your other data. We may need to update this notice from time to time. Where a change is
significant, we’ll make sure we let you know – usually by sending you an email.
Who are ‘we’?
When we refer to ‘we’ (or ‘our’ or ‘us’), that means Pattern Catcher Propriety Limited and all its wholly
owned subsidiaries. Our headquarters are in Australia but we operate all over the world. Address details
for Pattern Catcher Pty Ltd Headquarters are available on the Contact us page. Our approach to data
protection is built around principles of trust. They’re at the heart of everything we do relating to personal
data.
Transparency and Trust: We take a human centred approach to how we process personal data by
being open, honest and transparent and trustworthy.
Empowerment: We enable connections and efficient use of personal data to empower productivity and
growth.
Security: We advocate for industry leading approaches to securing the personal data entrusted to us.
Protection: We accept the responsibility that comes with processing personal data.
How we collect your data
When you visit our websites or use our services, we collect personal data. The ways we collect it can be
broadly categorised into the following:
Information you provide to us directly: When you visit or use some parts of our websites and/or
services we might ask you to provide personal data to us. For example, we ask for your contact
information when you sign up for a free offer, respond to a feedback request or an email offer,
participate in community forums, join us on social media, take part in training and events, contact us with
questions or request support. If you don’t want to provide us with personal data, you don’t have to, but
it might mean you can’t use some parts of our websites or services.
Information we collect automatically: We collect some information about you automatically when you
visit our websites or use our services, like your IP address and device type. We also collect information
when you navigate through our websites and services, including what pages you looked at and what
links you clicked on. This information is useful for us as it helps us get a better understanding of how
you’re using our websites and services so that we can continue to provide the best experience possible
(for example, by personalising the content you see). Some of this information is collected using cookies
and similar tracking technologies. If you want to find out more about the types of cookies we use, why,
and how you can control them, take a look at our cookie notice.
Information we get from third parties: The majority of information we collect, we collect directly from
you. Sometimes we might collect personal data about you from other sources, such as publicly available
materials or trusted third parties like our marketing and research partners. We use this information to
supplement the personal data we already hold about you, in order to better inform, personalise and
improve our services, and to validate the personal data you provide.
Where we collect personal data, we’ll only process it:
• to perform a connection with you, or
• where we have legitimate interests to process the personal data and they’re not overridden by
your rights, or
• in accordance with a legal obligation, or
• where we have your consent.
If you’re someone who doesn’t have a relationship with us, but believe that a Pattern Catcher Pty Ltd
entity or subscriber has entered your personal data into our websites or services, you’ll need to contact
that entity or subscriber for any questions you have about your personal data (including where you want
to access, correct, amend, or request that the user delete, your personal data).
How we use your data
First and foremost, we use your personal data to operate our websites and provide you with any services
you’ve requested, and to manage our relationship with you. We also use your personal data for other
purposes, which may include the following:
To communicate with you. This may include:
• providing you with information you’ve requested from us (like training or education materials)
or information we are required to send to you
• operational communications, like changes to our websites and services, security updates, or
assistance with using our websites and services
• marketing communications (about Pattern Catcher Pty Ltd or another product or service we think
you might be interested in) in accordance with your marketing preferences
• asking you for feedback or to take part in any research we are conducting (which we may
engage a third party to assist with).
To support you: This may include assisting with the resolution of technical support issues or other issues
relating to the websites or services, whether by email, in-app support or otherwise.
To enhance our websites and services: For example, by tracking and monitoring your use of websites
and services so we can keep improving, or by carrying out technical analysis of our websites and services
so that we can optimise your user experience and provide you with more efficient tools.
To protect: So that we can detect and prevent any fraudulent or malicious activity, and make sure that
everyone is using our websites and services fairly and in accordance with our terms of use.
To market to you: In addition to sending you marketing communications, we may also use your personal
data to display targeted advertising to you online – through our own websites and services or through
third party websites and their platforms.
To analyse, aggregate and report: We may use the personal data we collect about you and other users
of our websites and services (whether obtained directly or from third parties) to produce aggregated
and anonymised analytics and reports, which we may share publicly or with third parties.
How we can share your data
There will be times when we need to share your personal data with third parties. We will only disclose
your personal data to:
• other companies in the Pattern Catcher Pty Ltd group of companies
• third party service providers and partners who assist and enable us to use the personal data to,
for example, support delivery of or provide functionality on the website or services, or to market
or promote our goods and services to you
• regulators, law enforcement bodies, government agencies, courts or other third parties where
we think it’s necessary to comply with applicable laws or regulations, or to exercise, establish or
defend our legal rights. Where possible and appropriate, we will notify you of this type of
disclosure
• an actual or potential buyer (and its agents and advisors) in connection with an actual or
proposed purchase, merger or acquisition of any part of our business
• other people where we have your consent.
International data transfers
When we share data, it may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country you
live in – such as to the United States, where our data hosting provider’s servers are located. These
countries may have laws different to what you’re used to. Rest assured, where we disclose personal data
to a third party in another country, we put safeguards in place to ensure your personal data remains
protected.
Security
Security is a priority for us when it comes to your personal data. We’re committed to protecting your
personal data and have appropriate technical and organisational measures in place to make sure that
happens.
Your rights
It’s your personal data and you have certain rights relating to it. You have a right to access your personal
information, subject to exceptions allowed by law. If you would like to do so, please let us know. You
may be required to put your request in writing for security reasons. Pattern Catcher Pty Ltd reserves the
right to charge a fee for searching for, and providing access to, your information on a per request basis.
