This Privacy Policy explains how Pattem Group may collect, use, store, share, protect and otherwise process personal information when individuals interact with PattemGroup.com, our communications, forms, events, recruitment channels, digital platforms and other Group-level online or offline activities.
Pattem Group brings together different companies, brands, initiatives and areas of activity. This policy provides the general privacy framework for Pattem Group-level interactions.
Individual companies within Pattem Group may operate their own websites, platforms, products, services or recruitment processes. Where you interact directly with one of those companies, its own Privacy Policy or additional privacy notice may also apply.
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected or processed through Pattem Group websites and related Group-level activities. This may include website pages and forms, contact and enquiry forms, business and partnership enquiries, recruitment and career enquiries, newsletter and communication subscriptions, events and Group initiatives, downloads and website interactions, email, telephone and messaging communications, meetings and professional interactions, website analytics and similar technologies.
It may also apply to Group-level portals, systems or digital platforms where this Privacy Policy is made available or referenced.
This policy does not automatically apply to third-party websites, applications, platforms or services that are not operated or controlled by Pattem Group.
Where you follow a link to an individual Group company or external platform, the Privacy Policy of that company or third party may apply.
2. Information We May Collect
The information we collect depends on how you interact with Pattem Group.
Personal information may be collected directly from you, automatically through digital interactions, or from authorised partners, service providers, recruitment channels, publicly available sources or other lawful sources.
2.1 Information You Provide
You may provide information such as your name, job title, organisation or company name, department, email address, telephone number, postal address, city, state, PIN code, country and other contact details.
We may also collect information included in enquiries, communications, business or partnership discussions, events, newsletters, feedback forms, surveys, account registrations or profile interactions where applicable.
Where relevant, Pattem Group may collect billing, invoicing, transaction-related contact information or other details voluntarily provided for a legitimate and relevant purpose.
For recruitment-related interactions, we may collect your CV or resume, educational background, employment history, professional skills, qualifications, certifications, portfolio information, references and other information voluntarily submitted during the recruitment process.
We seek to collect information that is reasonably relevant to the purpose for which it is required.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you access PattemGroup.com or related digital platforms, certain technical and usage-related information may be collected automatically.
This may include your IP address, browser type and version, device information, operating system, date and time of access, pages visited, referring website, session duration, clicks, downloads, interaction patterns and website analytics information.
This information may help us understand website usage, maintain security, improve performance, evaluate navigation and enhance the overall digital experience.
2.3 Information From Group-Level Interactions
Pattem Group includes multiple companies, brands and initiatives.
Where an enquiry or interaction relates specifically to an individual Pattem Group company, relevant information may be shared with or handled by that company so the request can be addressed appropriately.
The organisation responsible for handling your information may depend on the nature of the interaction.
Where an individual Group company has its own Privacy Policy, that policy may provide additional information about how personal data is processed.
3. How We Use Personal Information
Pattem Group may use personal information to respond to enquiries and requests, communicate with prospective clients, partners and collaborators, manage business or partnership discussions, process recruitment enquiries and job applications, organise events and Group initiatives, and manage registrations or subscriptions.
We may also use information to send newsletters or updates where appropriate, improve websites and digital experiences, understand website usage through analytics, maintain website and platform security, prevent fraud or unauthorised activity, and support administrative and operational activities.
Personal information may also be processed to maintain appropriate records, comply with legal or regulatory requirements, establish or defend legitimate rights, and investigate or respond to cybersecurity incidents, misuse or security concerns.
We do not intend to use personal information for purposes that are incompatible with the reason it was originally collected unless such use is permitted by applicable law, supported by consent or otherwise reasonably necessary.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Where applicable privacy laws require a legal basis for processing personal information, Pattem Group may rely on an appropriate basis depending on the circumstances.
This may include your consent, taking steps at your request before entering into an arrangement, performing an agreement or engagement, meeting legal or regulatory obligations, or pursuing legitimate business interests.
Legitimate interests may include operating websites, communicating with visitors, maintaining security, improving digital experiences and supporting Pattem Group activities.
Where processing is based on consent, you may have the right to withdraw that consent, subject to applicable law and any processing already completed.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
PattemGroup.com may use cookies, session identifiers, analytics technologies and similar tools to keep the website functioning properly, remember preferences, understand website usage, measure performance, improve navigation, enhance user experience and support website security.
These technologies may also help us understand how visitors interact with website pages, features and content.
You may manage cookies through your browser settings or any cookie preference options made available on the website.
Some website features may not function as intended if certain cookies are disabled.
Where required, Pattem Group may provide additional information through a separate Cookie Policy or cookie preference notice.
6. Sharing of Personal Information
Pattem Group may share personal information where reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or for legitimate operational, administrative, professional, security or legal purposes.
Depending on the interaction, information may be shared with relevant Pattem Group companies, authorised teams, employees or representatives who require access to respond to your request.
Information may also be shared with website hosting providers, cloud and infrastructure providers, analytics providers, communication service providers, recruitment platforms, professional advisers, consultants, collaborators, security providers and technical service providers.
Where required or permitted by law, information may also be disclosed to government authorities, regulators, courts or law enforcement agencies.
Pattem Group does not intend to sell personal information to third parties for monetary consideration.
Where service providers process information on our behalf, reasonable steps may be taken to support appropriate confidentiality, security and privacy safeguards.
7. International Data Transfers
Pattem Group, its Group companies, technology providers and service providers may operate across different countries or regions.
As a result, personal information may sometimes be accessed, stored, processed or transferred outside the country where it was originally collected.
Where applicable privacy requirements require safeguards for international transfers, reasonable measures may be used to support the protection of personal information.
These measures may include contractual safeguards, access restrictions, encryption, technical controls or other appropriate privacy and security practices.
8. Information Security
Pattem Group recognises the importance of protecting personal information and maintaining appropriate privacy and security practices.
Reasonable administrative, technical and organisational measures may be used to protect personal information against unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, loss, destruction or accidental compromise.
Depending on the nature of the information and platform involved, safeguards may include access controls, authentication measures, secure communications, monitoring, backups, recovery measures, confidentiality controls, security reviews and service-provider oversight.
Where particular Group companies or technology providers follow recognised security or compliance practices, those measures may also support data protection within the relevant context.
No website, online platform or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Pattem Group therefore cannot guarantee absolute security, but reasonable measures may be taken to reduce privacy and security risks.
9. Data Retention
Pattem Group retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law.
Retention periods may depend on the type and sensitivity of information, the purpose for which it was collected, the nature of the relationship or interaction, recruitment requirements, business and administrative needs, legal obligations, security considerations, record-keeping requirements and the need to resolve disputes or protect legitimate rights.
When information is no longer reasonably required, it may be deleted, anonymised, aggregated, archived or securely disposed of where appropriate.
10. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, applicable law and the circumstances, you may have certain rights relating to your personal information.
These rights may include requesting access to personal information, correcting inaccurate or incomplete information, requesting deletion or erasure in appropriate circumstances, objecting to certain processing or requesting restrictions on processing.
You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, request data portability where legally applicable and raise concerns with an appropriate privacy or data protection authority.
Certain rights may be subject to identity verification, legal limitations, record-retention requirements or other permitted exceptions.
We may need to verify your identity before responding to a privacy-related request.
Where your information is handled directly by another Group company or third-party platform, your request may be directed to the relevant organisation.
11. Recruitment and Candidate Privacy
Where Pattem Group or its associated platforms collect information for recruitment, that information may be used for recruitment and talent-related activities.
Candidate information may include contact information, CVs or resumes, educational history, employment history, professional skills, qualifications, certifications, portfolios, references and other information voluntarily provided during recruitment.
This information may be used to review suitability for opportunities, communicate regarding applications, coordinate interviews and recruitment activities, maintain recruitment records, consider candidates for relevant future opportunities where appropriate and support onboarding activities where applicable.
Candidate information may be handled in accordance with applicable requirements, appropriate access controls and legitimate recruitment needs.
Individual Group companies may maintain separate recruitment processes or candidate privacy notices.
12. Children's Privacy
Pattem Group websites are generally intended for professional, business, recruitment and general informational purposes.
They are not specifically directed towards children.
Pattem Group does not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children where parental, guardian or other authorised consent is required under applicable law.
If Pattem Group becomes aware that personal information relating to a child has been collected inappropriately, reasonable steps may be taken to review the situation and address, restrict or remove the information where appropriate.
13. Third-Party Websites and Services
Pattem Group websites may contain links to third-party websites, applications, social media platforms, recruitment services, technology providers, products or other external resources.
These services operate independently and may have their own privacy policies, terms, security practices and data-handling procedures.
Pattem Group does not control and is not responsible for the privacy, security, availability, content or data-handling practices of third-party websites or services outside its control.
Individuals are encouraged to review the relevant privacy notices and terms before providing personal information through an external service.
14. Updates to This Privacy Policy
Pattem Group may update or revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in website functionality, Group structure, technology, business activities, operational requirements, privacy practices or applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
The updated version may be published on PattemGroup.com or communicated through another appropriate channel.
Where appropriate, the revised effective date may also be displayed.
Visitors are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
