What Information does PatternAgents have about their Customers and Users?

User information is collected by PatternAgents in accordance with our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service. Will always require a subpoena, court order, or other valid legal process to disclose ANY information about our customers and/or users.

Some of the user profile information is in the public domain, strictly at the user's own choice, so anyone can see that information on the PatternAgents.com Web Site. A PatternAgents user profile may contain information and comments that the user themselves have posted, and at the user's choice, they may display a profile image of themselves. As part of the user's profile, the user has the choice to select an alias-name and other biographical data, such as their interests or location, for display on the PatternAgents Web Site, as a part of their public persona/profile. You may consult our Privacy Policy for more information on the types of information that we collect from our users.

Any public persona and profile information is a choice for the user to provide, and we do not require it. It is not verified in any way by PatternAgents, and may not be accurate.
