PatchMother Privacy Notice

What we mean by personal information

Personal information is information that identifies, relates to, or can reasonably be linked to an individual or household, as defined by applicable law. It may include contact details, online identifiers, device information, and information contained in communications.

Information is not necessarily anonymous because names or other direct identifiers have been removed. Pseudonymized information remains personal information when it can still be linked to an identifiable person.

We treat information as deidentified or aggregated only where it meets the applicable legal requirements for that treatment.

Information you provide to us

Early-access requests and inquiries

When you request early access, ask a product question, or complete a contact form, we collect the information you choose to provide. This may include your:

• Name and email address.
• Company or project name.
• Languages, frameworks, coding assistant, and development environment.
• Description of your project, request, or intended evaluation.
• Communication preferences.

Support and security communications

When you contact us, we may retain your contact information, correspondence, and any attachments or technical details you provide. These may include product versions, error messages, screenshots, report excerpts, reproduction steps, and information needed to investigate the request.

Please provide only what is necessary. Do not send passwords, API keys, private signing keys, customer records, complete private repositories, or other sensitive information through a general contact form or ordinary email. Contact us first if sensitive evidence is necessary.

Additional services

If we introduce services that collect additional categories of information, we will describe the relevant collection and uses through an updated notice or a notice provided at the point of collection, and obtain consent where required.

Information processed automatically

Device and connection information

Our website infrastructure and service providers may process information about the devices and software used to access our Services. This may include IP addresses, browser and operating-system information, device identifiers, request timestamps, and diagnostic or security information.

Website usage information

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and interact with the website. Depending on the configuration and your choices, analytics information may include pages viewed, referring pages, interactions, visit duration, browser and device characteristics, approximate location, and cookie or similar identifiers.

Website providers may also supply operational information, such as delivery status, error reports, and security events.

Cookies and similar technologies

Our website and its providers use cookies or similar technologies to support website operation and analytics.

Cookies may last for a browsing session or remain on a device for a longer period. Their purposes, duration, and behavior depend on the service and configuration involved.

How we use information

We use information for the purposes described in this notice, including to:

• Respond to early-access requests and product inquiries.
• Provide requested installation information and assistance.
• Investigate reported problems, defects, and security concerns.
• Operate, maintain, improve, and protect our website and communications.
• Understand website usage and improve content and usability.
• Send product information or updates you request or otherwise permit.
• Detect and address fraud, abuse, unauthorized activity, and security incidents.
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal rights and resolve disputes.
• Meet applicable legal, regulatory, and recordkeeping obligations.
• Carry out another purpose specifically explained when information is collected, subject to any required consent.

PatchMother’s local workflow and AI processing

Local checks and project information

PatchMother’s installed harness and configured checks run in your development environment. The core local workflow does not require uploading your repository to Omegabit.

Project files, local reports, and development records may nevertheless be accessible to your coding assistant, workspace providers, collaborators, backups, or other tools according to the environment and permissions you configure.

Your chosen AI provider

Your coding assistant may send source code, prompts, documents, or other project information to its AI provider. That processing is governed by the provider’s terms, configuration, permissions, and privacy practices.

Review your provider’s retention, training, confidentiality, security, and processing-location settings before using it with confidential information.

This notice does not grant Omegabit or an AI provider permission to collect your repository, train models on your project information, or take additional actions in your development environment.

Downloads, updates, and optional reporting

Package downloads and update checks involve connections to distribution services. Those services may receive ordinary connection and request information. These requests are separate from uploading a repository.

Accepting a PatchMother evaluation license does not itself opt you into telemetry or authorize sharing project information with Omegabit. Optional product reporting requires separate consent and the applicable disclosure of its purpose and scope.

If you voluntarily send reports or project excerpts to support, we handle the information you provide as correspondence under this notice.

How we disclose information

Service providers

We use GoDaddy and its affiliates for website and communication services and Google Analytics for website analytics.

These providers process information in connection with the services they supply, subject to applicable agreements and law. Their own notices may also describe processing they perform for their own purposes.

Further information is available in:

• GoDaddy’s Privacy Notice.
• Google’s explanation of information received from websites using its services.

These provider notices supplement, rather than replace, our explanation of Omegabit’s practices.

Personnel, representatives, and advisers

We may disclose information to personnel, contractors, professional advisers, or affiliated entities where reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this notice, subject to applicable confidentiality obligations and legal requirements.

Legal obligations and protection of rights

We may access, preserve, or disclose relevant information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law or valid legal process; investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents; enforce applicable agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Omegabit, our users, or others.

Business transactions

Relevant information may be disclosed to advisers or prospective counterparties in connection with the consideration, negotiation, or completion of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or transfer of business assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections and applicable law.

Information may also transfer as part of a completed transaction. Such a transaction does not remove protections required by applicable law. Additional notice or consent will be provided where required.

Your direction or permission

We may disclose information when you direct us to do so or provide permission for a specified disclosure.

How long we retain information

We retain information for periods appropriate to its purpose, the nature of the information, applicable legal requirements, and the settings of the services used to process it.

Relevant considerations include:

• Whether an inquiry or support request remains open.
• The need for related follow-up and necessary business records.
• Security investigations, remediation records, and preservation of evidence.
• Legal obligations, disputes, and applicable preservation requirements.
• The retention and backup practices of the services holding the information.

Information associated with a legal hold, investigation, or dispute may need to be retained longer than ordinary operational records.

Website logs and analytics information are subject to their applicable service settings. Google Analytics retention controls for user-level and event-level information do not necessarily determine how long aggregated reports remain available.

Your choices and privacy requests

Communications

You can stop receiving optional promotional or product-update messages by using an unsubscribe mechanism provided in the message or by contacting info@patchmother.ai.

An opt-out does not prevent us from responding to a request you make or sending necessary security, legal, or administrative communications.

Cookies and analytics

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect website functions.

Google provides an Analytics opt-out browser add-on for supported browsers and implementations. You can also review Google’s information about privacy choices.

Different controls have different effects. Changing a preference does not necessarily delete information already collected or prevent every form of connection logging.

Access, correction, deletion, and other rights

Depending on your location, applicable law, and the processing involved, you may have rights to:

• Request information about our collection, use, and disclosure of personal information.
• Request access to or a copy of personal information.
• Correct inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of information.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
• Opt out of certain sales, sharing, or targeted advertising, where applicable.
• Appeal a decision or raise a concern with an appropriate regulator, where applicable.

To make a request, email info@patchmother.ai with the subject line Privacy request. Describe what you are requesting and the email address or interaction associated with the information.

We may need proportionate additional information to verify your identity, confirm an authorized representative’s authority, or locate relevant records. Please do not send government identification or other sensitive documents unless specifically requested through an appropriate process.

Requests may be subject to legal exceptions, including obligations to preserve security evidence or other records. We will handle requests and any applicable appeals according to the requirements that apply. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

Security

We make reasonable efforts to protect information using administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the information and the circumstances.

No information system, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure.

You can help protect information by limiting what you send, removing secrets from reports and screenshots, and reviewing the permissions and privacy settings of your development tools.

Report a suspected security issue to info@patchmother.ai with the subject line Security report.

Children’s privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact info@patchmother.ai. We will investigate and take appropriate action, including deletion where required.

International processing

Information may be processed in the United States and other countries where Omegabit or its service providers operate. These countries may have privacy laws that differ from those where you live.

Applicable legal requirements govern international processing and transfers. This notice does not waive your rights or substitute for any required transfer safeguards or consent.

Contact info@patchmother.ai for questions about processing locations or safeguards relevant to your information.

Third-party websites and services

Our website may link to websites, products, or services operated by other organizations. Your activities on those services are governed by their own privacy notices and terms.

We do not control their independent information practices. Review their notices before providing information to them.

Changes to this notice

We may update this notice as our Services, providers, or information practices change. We will post the revised notice on this page and update the date.

Where applicable law requires additional notice or consent for a change, we will provide it. Posting an update does not by itself authorize a new use of previously collected information where additional permission is required.
