Pont3

Pont3, operating under the alias Pont3, is an Australian‑based provider of mailing list management services tailored for event organizers. Its platform enables clients to collect, store, and distribute subscriber information such as names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses for newsletters and event‑related communications. The service is used to support a variety of public gatherings, including large‑scale races and festivals like the Sydney Running Festival and Electric Run. By focusing on the communication layer of event management, Pont3 helps organizers keep participants informed before, during, and after events.

The company’s distinguishing attribute is its specialization in handling subscriber data for high‑visibility events, which requires managing large volumes of personal information while maintaining confidentiality and availability. This focus is evident from the 2016 incident in which an attacker compromised a legitimate user account, exported subscriber data, and altered credentials, prompting Pont3 to detect the breach, suspend the account, and involve law enforcement. The episode also highlighted the firm’s incident response capabilities, including coordination with investigators and the decision to delay user notification for one week based on expert guidance. These experiences have shaped Pont3’s approach to data security and subscriber trust within the event services sector.

Pont3 is headquartered in Australia, though public sources do not disclose details about its ownership, parent company, or any subsidiary relationships. The organization operates as an independent service provider within the Australian event technology market, serving clients that range from community runs to major festivals. No further structural information is available in the supplied context.
