The Trademark Express (“The Trademark Express,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and takes reasonable steps to handle personal information responsibly.
This Privacy Policy explains how we may collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information when you visit our website, communicate with us, request information, or use our trademark, intellectual-property, and business-related services.
We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully so you understand our approach to personal information.
The information we collect depends on how you interact with our website and services.
You may provide information when you:
This information may include your name, business name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, billing information, trademark information, business information, documents, correspondence, and other information relevant to your request.
For certain intellectual-property services, we may need additional information relating to a trademark, copyright, patent, business, applicant, owner, filing, or other matter.
When you visit our website, certain information may be collected automatically by our website, hosting provider, analytics tools, advertising technologies, security tools, or similar technologies.
This may include:
We may use this information to understand website activity, maintain functionality, troubleshoot problems, improve website performance, and help protect our systems.
Our website may use cookies, pixels, tags, analytics technologies, and similar tools.
These technologies may help us:
Some technologies may be provided by third-party service providers.
Your browser may allow you to control or block certain cookies. Disabling cookies may affect some website functionality.
We may use personal information for legitimate business and service purposes, including to:
We seek to collect and use information that is reasonably relevant to these purposes. The FTC advises businesses to collect only information they have a legitimate business need for and to retain it only as long as necessary.
We do not treat your personal information as publicly available simply because you provide it through our website.
We may share information with appropriate parties when reasonably necessary to operate our business or provide requested services.
These parties may include:
We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, court order, subpoena, or governmental request, or when disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect our rights, users, property, or operations.
Third-party providers may have their own privacy practices. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of services they interact with. The FTC similarly notes that third-party services may collect information under their own privacy policies.
Certain information associated with trademark, patent, copyright, and business filings may become part of a public record when submitted to a government agency or other public filing system.
The Trademark Express cannot control information that becomes publicly accessible through a government registry or filing system.
Before submitting information to a government agency, clients should understand that the applicable agency may make certain filing information publicly available according to its rules and procedures.
If you purchase services, payment information may be processed by third-party payment providers.
We may receive limited transaction-related information, such as payment status, transaction date, amount, and related billing information.
Payment card information may be handled directly by the applicable payment processor rather than stored by us.
The specific information collected and retained depends on the payment provider and the payment method used.
Where permitted by applicable law, we may use your contact information to send newsletters, updates, service information, promotional messages, or other communications.
You may opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe mechanism included in the communication or by contacting us.
You may still receive essential communications relating to services you have requested or purchased.
We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, or destruction.
Depending on the nature of the information and our systems, safeguards may include access controls, secure service providers, technical protections, organizational procedures, and other reasonable security measures.
However, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet is completely secure.
The FTC recommends that businesses use reasonable security practices appropriate to the type and sensitivity of information they maintain.
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide services, maintain business and transaction records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect our legitimate business interests.
Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information and the nature of the service.
When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, destroy, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable requirements and our internal practices.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including government agencies, payment providers, technology platforms, social networks, or other resources.
Once you leave our website, the third party's privacy practices and terms may apply.
We are not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of third-party websites.
Our website and services are intended for adults and businesses.
We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13 through the website.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review the matter and take appropriate action where required.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) imposes additional requirements on covered websites and services that collect information from children.
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal information.
These may include the ability to:
Certain rights may be subject to legal exceptions, verification requirements, or other limitations.

Certain U.S. states have enacted privacy laws that provide residents with specific rights concerning personal information.
Whether a particular right applies depends on factors such as your state of residence, the nature of our business, the information involved, and applicable legal thresholds.
Where applicable, we will handle valid privacy requests according to the requirements of the relevant law.
If The Trademark Express becomes subject to additional state privacy requirements, this Privacy Policy may be updated to describe those obligations.
Our business is based in the United States. If you access our website from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate.
Privacy and data-protection laws may differ between jurisdictions.
Where applicable law provides additional rights or protections, we will address them as required by that law.
