You know how your invention works. Your patent application should, too.

We collect information you choose to provide through our website, product, account, checkout, contact, and support experiences. Depending on how you use the service, this may include your name, email address, account details, communications, payment-related transaction details, invention descriptions, uploaded materials, draft patent content, and other information you submit.

We may also collect technical and usage information automatically, such as IP address, browser and device information, referring pages, pages viewed, and interactions with the service. We use cookies and similar technologies where needed to operate, secure, understand, and improve the service.

The service may use artificial intelligence to search, analyze, transform, and generate answers or draft content based on the materials you provide. Customer content may be sent to service providers solely to deliver these functions under applicable contractual and security controls.

We do not use customer invention materials, patent drafts, or other customer content to train artificial intelligence models. Counsel should confirm that this statement matches every production vendor agreement and configuration before this policy is approved.

We may share information with vendors and professional advisers that help us provide hosting, payments, analytics, communications, customer support, security, document processing, and AI-assisted features. These parties may use information only as permitted to provide services to us or as required by law.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, in connection with a business transaction, or when you direct or authorize us to do so. We do not sell customer invention materials or patent drafts.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain business and legal records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal obligations. Retention periods may vary by the type of information and how the service is used.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No system can guarantee absolute security, and you are responsible for protecting your account credentials and using appropriate care when submitting sensitive information.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information, subject to applicable law and legitimate retention needs. You may also opt out of non-essential marketing communications using the instructions in those messages.

Privacy rights differ by location. We will evaluate verified requests under the law that applies to you. Contact hello@patentpending.ai to submit a request.

The service is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, contact us so we can review and address the request.

We may update this policy as the service or applicable requirements change. We will post the revised policy and update the effective date when changes are made.

Questions about this draft or our privacy practices may be sent to hello@patentpending.ai. Counsel should add the company’s legal entity name, mailing address, jurisdiction-specific disclosures, and any required privacy-request method before approval.
