We take your privacy seriously. When you trust us to protect your
brand, you’re sharing personal and business details with us.
This Privacy Policy breaks down what information we collect, how
we use it to handle your U.S. trademark filings, and how we
protect it along the way.
1. What Information We Collect
To prepare and submit your trademark application with the United
States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), we need to gather a
few key details:
-
Contact & Business Details: Your full name,
business name, physical address, email address, and phone
number.
-
Trademark Information: Details about your mark
or logo, first-use dates, and descriptions of the goods or
services your brand offers.
-
Payment Data: When you pay for filings or
services, our third-party payment processors handle your card
information securely. We don’t store raw credit card
numbers on our servers.
-
Website Usage Data: Standard technical
information like your IP address, browser type, and how you
interact with our site (collected via basic cookies and
analytics tools to keep our site running smoothly).
2. How We Use Your Information
We only use your information to deliver and improve our services:
-
Preparing, submitting, and managing your filings with the USPTO.
-
Reaching out to you with status updates, USPTO notices, or
questions about your application.
- Processing payments and generating billing receipts.
-
Sending relevant updates or reminders about your trademark
maintenance (you can unsubscribe anytime).
3. Important Note About the USPTO Public Database
Please Note: The USPTO is a federal public
agency. When we file a trademark application on your behalf, the
USPTO requires applicant details (such as names, addresses, and
email addresses) to be published in their public database. USA TM Bureau has no control over information once it is made part of
the official public record by the USPTO.
4. How We Share Information
We respect your privacy and do not sell, rent, or trade your
personal information. We only share details when necessary to
fulfill our service:
- The USPTO: To file your legal documents.
-
Service Providers: Trusted vendors who help us
run our platform, process payments, or perform trademark
searches (all bound by strict privacy rules).
-
Legal Obligations: If required by court order,
law, or to protect the safety and legal rights of our business
and clients.
5. Keeping Your Data Safe
We use industry-standard security measures—including
encrypted connections and secure servers—to shield your
personal data from unauthorized access. While no system on the
internet can ever guarantee 100% security, we regularly review and
update our safeguards to protect your information.
6. Your Choices & Control
You are in control of your data:
-
Access & Updates: You can ask us to review,
correct, or update the information we hold about you at any
time.

non-essential emails whenever you choose using the link at the

7. Third-Party Links
Our website may link out to external websites, including official
government portals like USPTO.gov. We aren’t responsible for
the content or privacy practices of those third-party sites, so we
recommend reviewing their policies if you visit them.
8. Policy Updates
If we make updates to how we handle data, we will post the updated
policy on this page with a revised date. Continuing to use our
services after changes are posted means you accept the updated
terms.
