Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Pattern Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Pattern“, “we,” “us” or “our“) respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share your personal data when you use the Pattern website (https://pattern.com/), the Pattern marketplace services including when you shop on our online stores and when you place orders with our storefronts, when you use our software and when you create an account with us (collectively, our “Services“).

The purpose of this Notice is to inform you about our privacy practices and to ensure that you understand the purposes for which we collect and process your personal data. The following is a brief summary of the manner and purposes for which we process your personal data.

2. Application

This Notice relates to your personal data, i.e. data about you, an individual, from which you can be identified.

This Notice therefore does not apply to any data insofar as it is held, processed, disclosed or published in a form which cannot be linked to a living individual (such as anonymised data, aggregated data, or data which, in a given form, cannot be identified, directly or indirectly, with a specific individual (“Anonymised and Aggregated Data“). We reserve the right to generate Anonymised and Aggregated Data extracted out of any databases containing your personal data and to make use of any such Anonymised and Aggregated Data as we see fit.

While this Notice is intended to establish a standard for our information processing activities globally, those processing activities may be more limited in some jurisdictions based on the restrictions of their laws. For example, the laws of a particular country may limit the types of personal information we can collect or the manner in which we process that personal information. In those circumstances, we comply with relevant local laws and regulations.

3. Changes to the Privacy Policy

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
