Introduction
We at Patent Exchange and our affiliated companies worldwide are committed to respecting your online privacy and recognize your need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") you share with us and you can trust us with your information.
Patent Exchange has established this Online Privacy Policy to help you understand what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it.
Personal Information means any information which you provide to us which personally identifies you, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address and an email address or other contact information, whether at work or at home or other data which can be reasonably linked to the site. In general, you can visit Patent Exchange Web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself.
If you choose to provide us with your Personal Information on the Web, we reserve our rights to transfer that Information within Patent Exchange, our affiliates or to Patent Exchange third-party service providers, across borders, and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world.
Patent Exchange strives to comply with all applicable laws around the globe that are designed to protect your privacy. Although legal requirements may vary from country to country, Patent Exchange intends to adhere to the principles set forth in this Online Privacy Policy even if, in connection with the above, we transfer your Personal Information from your country to countries that may not require an "adequate" level of protection for your Personal Information. We will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of Patent Exchange if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:
- Meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request.
- Enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations.
- Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.
- Protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Patent Exchange, our users or the public as required or permitted by law.

To protect your privacy, we have adopted the following principles:
Choice
You may choose whether or not to provide Personal Information to Patent Exchange. If you choose not to provide the Personal Information to Patent Exchange, you can still visit most of Patent Exchange Web sites, but you may not be able to access certain options, offers, and services that involve our interaction with you. When you show a desire to have a relationship with Patent Exchange, such as a contractual or other business relationship or partnership, we will naturally continue to contact you in connection with that business relationship, through the communication means as provided.
Security
When you use Patent Exchange services, you trust us with your information. Wherever you share your Personal Information with Patent Exchange or on its behalf, we intend to take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the Personal Information shared with us from unauthorized access or disclosure.
Access/Accuracy
To the extent that you do provide us with Personal Information, Patent Exchange wishes to maintain accurate Personal Information. Whenever you use our services, we aim to provide you with access to your personal information. If that information is wrong, we strive to give you ways to update it quickly or to delete it – unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes. If for any reason those means are unavailable or inaccessible, you may send updates and corrections about your Personal Information to Patent Exchange and we will make reasonable efforts to incorporate the changes in your Personal Information that we hold as soon as practicable. When updating your personal information, we may ask you to verify your identity before we can act on your request. Third parties provide certain services available on Patent Exchange behalf. Patent Exchange may provide information, including Personal Information, that Patent Exchange on the Web to third-party service providers to help us deliver programs, products, information, and services. Service providers are also an important means by which Patent Exchange maintains its Web site and mailing lists. Patent Exchange will take reasonable steps to ensure that these third-party service providers are obligated to protect Personal Information on Patent Exchange behalf. We do not share personal information with companies, organizations and individuals outside of Patent Exchange without your consent who are not bound to act on Patent Exchange behalf unless such transfer is legally required. Similarly, it is against Patent Exchange policy to sell Personal Information collected online without consent.

We are committed to privacy. Your privacy matters to Patent Exchange so whether you are new to Patent Exchange or a long-time user, please do take the time to get to know our practices – and if you have any questions regarding our Online Privacy Policy, please contact us at Patent Exchange. While we cannot guarantee privacy perfection, we will address any issue to the best of our abilities as soon as possible.
