Privacy Policy (UK)

Last updated: January 2026

Pocket Mentor AI Pty Ltd ACN (688 328 163) (Pocket Mentor, we, us or our) is committed to protecting your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains how we manage personal information and how to contact us if you have any further queries about how we do this. This Policy does not apply to how we handle personal information about our employees.

Background

We provide a platform (Platform) for our clients (Clients) via the Pocket Mentor mobile application (App) or our website. A Client is a person who signs up to or joins our Platform through a registration process via the App or via our website. The Platform gives our Clients empowering values-based guidance that fosters personal growth, emotional clarity, and self-leadership (Services).

In undertaking our functions and activities we may handle personal information about Clients and other individuals (together, you). We comply with the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018) and the UK GDPR except where the Law does not require this. The Laws regulate how to handle personal information throughout its life cycle, from collection to use and disclosure, storage, accessibility and disposal.

Personal information is information or an opinion, in any form and whether true or not, about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable. Special rules apply for collecting personal information which is sensitive information (Special Category Information). This includes health information and information about a person's race, ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of political, professional or trade associations, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation or practices and criminal history.

The kind of personal information we collect and hold

If you are not a Client, the personal information we collect and hold will depend on why we are dealing with you.

If you are a Client, we will generally collect one or more of the following items of personal information:

  • Personal Identifiers: your name and contact details including postal and email address and telephone number.
  • Coaching Inputs: information you share with the Platform (e.g., journal entries, reflections, goals).
  • Survey or Feedback Data: if you voluntarily participate in surveys or provide feedback.
  • Your position.

If you access our website, we will collect usage data that may or may not constitute personal information. That data includes device type, browser, IP address, pages visited, and actions taken on the site.

How we collect and hold personal information

To the extent required by the Law:

  • we will not collect personal information about you unless that information is reasonably necessary for one or more of our functions or activities; and
  • we will collect personal information only by lawful and fair means.

When we collect personal information directly from you, we will take reasonable steps at or before the time of collection to ensure that you are aware of certain key matters, such as the purposes for which we are collecting the information, the organisations (or types of organisations) to which we would normally disclose information of that kind, the fact that you are able to access the information and how to contact us.

The purposes for which we handle personal information

General

In general, if we use or disclose your personal information for a purpose (the "secondary purpose") other than the main reason for which it was originally collected (the "primary purpose"), to the extent required by the Law, we will ensure that:

  • the secondary purpose is related to the primary purpose of collection (and directly related in the case of sensitive information), and you would reasonably expect that we would use or disclose your information in that way;
  • you have consented to the use or disclosure of your personal information for the secondary purpose;
  • the use or disclosure is required or authorised by or under law; or
  • the use or disclosure is otherwise permitted by the Law (for example, as a necessary part of an investigation of suspected unlawful activity or if it is unreasonable or impracticable to obtain your consent and the use or disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent a serious threat to life, health or safety).

The purpose for which we use your personal information depends on why we have collected your personal information.

If you are Client, we will use your personal information to give you access to the Platform and provide the Services. This includes:

  • providing and personalising coaching insights and Platform interactions;
  • improving our Services based on user engagement and feedback;
  • communicate with you regarding updates, new features, or support; and
  • maintaining the security and integrity of our systems.

Use of Generative AI and other automated decision-making

Generative AI

We use generative artificial intelligence technology (AI) to deliver certain aspects of our Services, including facilitating Platform interactions. The AI functionality that we use is provided by our service providers, including by OpenAI, L.L.C., (OpenAI) which provides us with OpenAI's ChatGPT Enterprise service for businesses (ChatGPT Enterprise).

When you interact with our Platform, including through written messages, voice conversations or video conversations, the applicable data (Input) will be handled by OpenAI and its contractors to generate responses and insights tailored to your needs (Output). Under our agreement with OpenAI as of 1 December 2025, OpenAI states that it will only use Input and Output as necessary to provide us (and you as our end user) with its services that we in turn use to provide you with the Services, comply with applicable law, enforce OpenAI policies, and prevent abuse.

OpenAI has indicates that it handles your personal information for the purpose of providing and supporting the services that it provides to us (which in turn enables us to provide Services), in a manner that provides no less than the level of privacy protection required of it under applicable data privacy and data protection laws.

However, ChatGPT Enterprise's data handling practices are subject to change from time to time. While we will monitor these changes, please note that we may be required to accept updated terms in order to continue providing the Services to you. In this event, we will update our privacy policy.

WARNING:

Given the potential sensitivity of the Input that you may process on the Platform, we strongly recommend that you avoid including information in the Input from which you (or any other other person) will be reasonably identifiable. This includes:

  • Full names of yourself or others;
  • Dates of birth;
  • Specific addresses or location details from which you or a third person are reasonably identifiable;
  • Workplace names or identifiable business information;
  • Health information about you or a third person in a form that enables that information to be linked with you or the third person, as applicable; and
  • Any other information from which you or another person will be reasonably identifiable.

This does not mean that you can't speak about your health or other issues, or those of another person. Rather, we're cautioning you to refrain from linking those issues to your name or the name of the other person. Please describe your emotions or feelings in general terms.

Automated decision-making

This section of the policy applies if:

  • we have arranged for a computer program to make, or do a thing that is substantially and directly related to making, a decision; and
  • the decision could reasonably be expected to significantly affect the rights or interests of an individual; and
  • personal information about the individual is used in the operation of the computer program to make the decision or do the thing that is substantially and directly related to making the decision.

At present, the Platform does not include automated decision-making.

If the Platform is developed to includeany automated decision-making, we will update this policy to include information about:

  • the kinds of personal information used in the operation of such computer programs; and
  • the kinds of such decisions made solely by the operation of such computer programs; and
  • the kinds of such decisions for which a thing, that is substantially and directly related to making the decision, is done by the operation of such computer programs.

Marketing

We may use your personal data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

  • You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased goods or services from us and you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.
  • We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.

Depending on how and why you provide us with your personal data we may share it in the following ways:

  • we may share your personal data with any member of our company group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries;
  • with selected third parties to which we sub-contract to provide various services and/or aspects of the Platform's functionality, including the providers expressly discussed in this policy; and
  • with analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of this Platform.

We may also disclose your personal data to third parties in the following events:

  • if we were to sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we might disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets as part of that transaction;
