Cookies and Tracking Technologies. We and our service providers use cookies, pixels, and other tracking technology to recognize your browser or device and to capture and remember certain information about your activities on our Services with the purpose of delivering customized and personalized services.
· Cookies. A cookie is a small text file that is saved on your web browser when you visit a website. You can view and delete existing cookies through your browser. If you do not want to store cookies on your computer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, some parts of the Services may not function properly if you choose not to accept cookies.
· Pixel Tags (aka clear gifs). These are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, which allow us to monitor the use of our Services, for example, to count users who have visited those pages and for other related website statistics. Pixel tags generally work in conjunction with cookies, registering when a particular device visits a particular page. You cannot decline pixel tags; however, if you turn off cookies the pixel tag will simply detect an anonymous visit. In addition, we use pixel tags in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by the recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
· Analytics. We use third party cookies provided by Google Analytics to assist us in better understanding our Sites' visitors. These cookies collect IP address and usage data, such as the length of time a user spends on a page, the pages a user visits, and the websites a user visits before and after visiting our Sites. In addition to reporting usage statistics, Google Analytics can also be used to help show more relevant ads on Google properties (like Google Search) and across the web. For more information on Google Analytics, visit Google's Privacy and Terms.
Cookie Consent
· We and our service providers use cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies to recognize your browser or device, remember your preferences, and analyze site usage.
· Some cookies are essential for site operation, while others improve functionality or enable analytics/advertising.
· For users in the EEA, UK, and other regions where required by law, non-essential cookies (including analytics and advertising) will only be set with your consent.
· Upon visiting our website from these regions, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner or tool allowing you to manage cookie settings and preferences.
· You may change your cookie preferences at any time by contacting our support team at legal@functionalpatterns.com.
You can further manage cookies via your browser's settings; however, restricting cookies may impact the functionality of the Services.

We have no control over, and cannot and do not assume responsibility for the data collection and privacy practices employed by any of these third parties or their services.

· For practitioners and other contractual counterparties, we process and retain limited personal data (such as identity and contact details, contractual records, and necessary correspondence) where needed for the performance of our contracts, compliance with legal and tax obligations, and our legitimate interests in managing our relationships and defending potential legal claims (for example, for the duration of applicable limitation periods or contractual obligations such as NDAs)

Lawful Basis for Processing (GDPR/UK GDPR)
Under applicable data protection law (including UK GDPR and EU GDPR), we must have a lawful basis to process your personal data. We rely on the following lawful bases:
• Performance of a contract: Processing your personal data, including identification documents, is necessary to enter into and perform contracts with you, including NDAs and training services agreements.
• Legitimate interests: We have a legitimate interest in verifying client identity, preventing fraud, protecting our intellectual property, enforcing confidentiality obligations, maintaining secure business records, and operating our business effectively. We have balanced these interests against your rights and freedoms and determined that processing is proportionate and does not override your interests.
• Legal obligation: In some cases, we may be required to retain or disclose your data to comply with legal or regulatory obligations (e.g., court orders, tax or employment law requirements).
• Consent: Where required by law or where we seek to process certain special categories of data (such as health information for training purposes), we will obtain your explicit consent.
Provision of Identification Documents
Providing a copy of your photographic identification is a contractual requirement to sign the Functional Patterns NDA and access training services under the Functional Patterns licensing system. If you choose not to provide your ID, we will be unable to verify your identity, execute the NDA, or proceed with training services. This requirement is necessary to protect Functional Patterns' confidential information and intellectual property, and to comply with our independent contractor agreements with licensed practitioners.
Information You Instruct Us to Share
In connection with the Services, you may be presented with an option to have us send certain information to third parties or give them access to it. If you choose to do so, your information will be disclosed to such third parties and all information you disclose may be subject to the third-party privacy policies and practices of such third parties.
We may use third-party service providers to perform certain business services and may disclose your information to such service providers as needed for them to perform these business services. Service providers are only allowed to use, disclose, or retain this information to provide these services. Business services provided include, but are not limited to:

All third-party service providers are required to process your data only on our instructions and to maintain appropriate security measures.
We may share your information with our affiliated entities, successors, predecessors, assigns, licensees, or business partners, and others who may use the information for the purposes described above.
We may do business with third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then your information may be transferred to the new owners who may use your information in the same way as set out in this Policy.
Subject to applicable law, we may disclose information about you (i) if we are required to do so by law, regulation or legal process, such as a subpoena; (ii) in response to requests by government entities, such as law enforcement authorities; (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical, financial, or other harm, injury, or loss; or (iv) for the purposes of cooperation with law enforcement agencies and/or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual unlawful activity.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes.
Functional Patterns LLC is based in the United States. When you provide personal information and use our Services, your personal data may be transferred to and stored in the United States, which may not be subject to an adequacy decision under UK GDPR or EU GDPR.
To protect your data during international transfers, we implement appropriate safeguards, including:
1. Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and/or the European Commission for data transfers to third countries
2. Contractual obligations requiring US-based processors to implement technical and organizational security measures equivalent to GDPR standards
3. Encryption and secure access controls for data in transit and at rest
You have the right to request a copy of the safeguards we have in place for international transfers. Please contact us using the details provided below.
We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and as otherwise required by law.

After the retention period expires, we will securely delete or anonymize your personal data unless we are required by law to retain it longer (e.g., for litigation or regulatory investigation).
We apply technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. These measures include:
• Encryption of data in transit (e.g., HTTPS, TLS) and at rest (e.g., encrypted storage)
• Secure access controls and password protection for systems storing personal data
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments of IT systems
• Contractual data protection obligations for all third-party processors

Although we take reasonable steps to safeguard your data, please note that no system is completely secure. If you believe your personal data has been compromised, please contact us immediately.
You have the following rights regarding your personal information, where applicable by law (e.g., U.S., California, EEA/UK):
• Right to Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including identification documents and signed NDAs.
• Right to Correction: Request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• Right to Deletion ("right to be forgotten"): Request deletion of your personal data where permitted by law. However, we may retain some personal data where we have a lawful basis to do so, for example where retention is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, maintain records of your consent and contractual relationship, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. In particular, we may retain core contract and identification records for the duration of the NDA (currently 7 years from signing) to evidence and enforce your confidentiality obligations.
• Right to Data Portability: Request a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or request that it be transmitted to another party (where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means).
• Right to Restrict or Object: Restrict or object to our processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests; if you object, we must stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, or the processing is necessary for legal claims.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Withdraw your consent to processing (where processing is based on consent, such as for video recordings or health data) at any time, affecting future processing. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
To exercise your rights, please email legal@functionalpatterns.com. Upon receiving a request, we will verify your identity and respond within 30 days or as required by law. California residents may exercise CCPA rights, and EEA/UK users may exercise GDPR rights free of charge unless requests are excessive or unfounded. You may also designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf where permitted.
Identity verification for rights requests: To protect your privacy and prevent unauthorized disclosure, we may request additional information to verify your identity before responding to a data subject access request or other rights request. This is a legal requirement under applicable data protection law.
While we value our communications with you, if you do not want Functional Patterns or its representatives to contact you for marketing purposes, you may opt-out of this preference at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in the email. This opt-out will not apply to operational or informational emails related to your account or other administrative purposes. You may continue to receive promotional email messages for a short period while we process your request.
