What personal data do we collect?

Personal data you may provide to us through our Products or otherwise includes:

• Communication data: If you request information about our Product (like through our information form or by emailing us) we will collect your contact details, i.e. name, surname, email address, telephone number.
• Transactional data: If you are a client, we will collect your contact details and the details required for billing purposes.
• Cookie data: Only when you accept our additional cookies do we use Matomo cookies which collects audience data such as pages visited, time spent on site, where visitors came from (search engine, LinkedIn, direct link, ect), device type, browser, operating system, screen resolution, language, and approximate location (country/city, based on an anonimised IP address).
• Use of Product data: When you use our AI products, we only collect your contact details (email address and name) to manage your access. We do not use any of your data to train our AI Products. We leverage the performance reasoning from the analysis to improve our solution. Improvement occurs through statistical performance validation, not training on your data.

A more detailed overview of what data is collected, for what purpose, the legal basis and retention period can be found at the end of this Policy.

We ask that you not provide us with any sensitive personal data (i.e., health insurance data, data related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background or trade union membership) on or through our Product, or otherwise to us. If you provide us with any sensitive personal data to us we will delete it with no undue delay.

No Automated Decision-Making and Profiling. As part of our Product, we do not engage in automated decision-making and/or profiling, which produces legal or similarly significant effects.

How do we secure your personal data?

Across FairPatterns we apply the ‘confidentiality, integrity, and availability’ method and specifically rely on Superbase Authentication to authenticate users. Confidentiality: only the people who need to know your personal data have access to it.  Integrity: only the right people can update the data in the right way.  Availability: the data is available only when needed. We employ technical, organizational and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal data we collect. However, security risk is inherent in all internet and information technologies and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal data.

Do we share your personal data?

We do not share your data with any third-party outside of our Products. This includes data gathered from first party cookies and data gathered through the Product.

However, for the functioning of our operations, we use several platforms. For our internal communication needs we use Slack and any personal data shared on this internal communication channel is strictly confidential and available on a need to know basis. For our internal workspace needs we use Notion and any personal data shared on this platform is confidential and available on a need to know basis. For our document storage needs we rely on the Google suit (Drive and Cloud Console), for which any personal data shared on this platform is confidential and available on a need to know basis.

What about data on other sites & services?

Our Product may contain links to websites, mobile applications, and other online services operated by third parties. In addition, our content may be integrated into web pages or other online services that are not associated with us. These links and integrations are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. We do not control websites, mobile applications or online services operated by third parties, and we are not responsible for their actions. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites, mobile applications and online services you use.

Do we carry out international data transfers?

We are headquartered in France with employees located across the globe. Your personal data may be transferred to non-EU countries such as the US or India depending on your relationship with us.

Where we share your personal data with third parties who are based outside the EU, we rely on approved transfer mechanisms such as:

1. An Adequacy Decision: we may transfer your personal data to countries or territories whose laws have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
2. Standard Contractual Clauses: where an adequacy decision is not in place, we rely on EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). SCCs are standardised and pre-approved model data protection clauses.

What are the legal bases for processing?

Our legal bases for processing your personal data described in this Privacy Policy are listed below.

• Contractual Necessity: where we need to perform a contract, we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
• Compliance with Law: where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
