At IPCalculus, we are committed to being transparent about the data we
collect about you, why we collect it, how we process it, and whom we share
it with. We take the utmost care in handling your data and ensuring that
your privacy is safeguarded.
By using our product / services, you consent to our use of your data as
stated here in this privacy policy. The policy applies to our clients,
visitors to the IPCalculus’ website, web applications, blog pages, and any
other service we provide. Your rights over your personal data are set out
in Section 8 – Your Rights and Choices.
2. Changes to this notice
IPCalculus reserves the right to revise, amend, or modify this Privacy

materially change how it plans to use previously collected personal
information, IPCalculus will provide you with advance notice prior to the

3. Personal data collected
We receive your personal data in three different ways:
I. Data that you provide to us:
We collect personal data directly from you, for example, the contact
information and log-in credentials that we use to provide our services to
you.
II. Data about you that we obtain elsewhere:
IPCalculus provide intellectual property consulting services to companies,
law-firms, universities, individual inventors and patent professionals. If
you are, for example, an academic researcher, a patent holder, IPR attorney
or IPR professional, your professional data may be publically available. We
collect this professional data from publicly available sources like
academic publications, patent offices, regulatory agencies and other web
sources. The data may include your name, work contact details, and
specialization. If you have questions about this use of your data, contact
us at
data.privacy@ipcalculus.com
.
We acquire marketing lists from third parties to identify prospects for our
services (see Section 8 – Your Rights and Choices for
information on managing your marketing preferences).
III. Data that we collect via standard online technologies:
Like most websites and web-based products, our services use standard
technologies, like web server logs and cookies, to collect information
about our visitors and end-users. Some of our services allow you to
register or log in via social media credentials. If you choose this option,
the personal data that we collect will depend on the privacy settings of
your social media account.
Sensitive personal data
We do not process personal data about race or ethnicity; political
opinions, or religious or philosophical beliefs; trade union membership; or
genetic, biometric, health, or sex-life information (“special categories of
personal data” as defined by the European Union General Data Protection
Regulation) unless you provide or indicate such information in a
user-controlled area of our services, for example a professional profile.
Google invisible reCAPTCHA
We sometimes use Google Invisible reCAPTCHA to secure our products and
websites from abuse. Invisible reCAPTCHA collects hardware, software, and
user interaction data from your device for risk analysis. reCAPTCHA data
collection and use are governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
Third-party websites
Our services may contain links to third-party websites. We are not
responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

and/or for legitimate business interests that include providing you with
our products and services.
Any consent that you provide can be revoked by you at any time. However,
where legitimate business interests are concerned, you have the right to
object to data collection and processing in which case we reserve the right
to delete your account to comply with your objection to having your data

protect your data to the same standard as set out in this Notice.
· Your data may be transferred to a third party as a result of any merger,
acquisition, or similar corporate event involving IPCalculus.

6. Data security
IPCalculus maintains appropriate administrative, technical, and physical
security measures to protect your personal data from accidental loss and
unauthorized access or use. These measures include encryption, firewalls,
roles-based data access, intrusion-detection software, and physical access
controls to data centers.
7. Data retention
We store your personal data throughout the period of your relationship with
us, and retain it for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for
which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying legal,
accounting, or reporting obligations or to resolve disputes. For more

8. Your rights and choices
Individuals in the European Economic Area have the following data
protection rights:

data collected on the basis of your consent at any time. Your withdrawal of
consent will not affect the lawfulness of IPCalculus’ processing based on
consent before your withdrawal.

data held by us. You may also request us to rectify or update any of your
personal data held by IPCalculus that is inaccurate. Note that your rights
to personal data are not absolute. Access may be denied when:
· Denial of access is required or authorized by law;
· Granting access would have a negative impact on other’s privacy;
· To protect our rights and properties; and
· Where the request is frivolous or vexatious.
Right to erasure.
You have the right to request erasure of your personal data that: (a) is no
longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or
otherwise processed; (b) was collected in relation to processing that you
previously consented, but later withdrew such consent; or (c) was collected
in relation to processing activities to which you object, and there are no
overriding legitimate grounds for our processing.
Right to restriction of processing
. You have the right to restrict or object to us processing your personal
data where one of the following applies:
· You contest the accuracy of your personal data that we processed. In such
instances, we will restrict processing during the period necessary for us
to verify the accuracy of your personal data.
· The processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your personal
data and request the restriction of its use instead.
· We no longer need your personal data for the purposes of the processing,
but it is required by you to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
· You have objected to processing, pending the verification whether the
legitimate grounds of IPCalculus’s processing override your rights.
Right to data portability.
If we process your personal data based on a contract with you or based on
your consent, or the processing is carried out by automated means, you may
request to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and
machine-readable format, and to have us transfer your personal data
directly to another organization, where technically feasible, unless
exercise of this right adversely affects the rights and freedoms of others.
Right to object.
Where the processing of your personal data is based on consent, contract or
legitimate interests you may restrict or object, at any time, to the
processing of your personal data as permitted by applicable law. We can
continue to process your personal data if it is necessary for the defense
of legal claims, or for any other exceptions permitted by applicable law.
Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
. You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on
automated processing of your personal data, including profiling, which
produces legal or similarly significant effects on you, save for the
exceptions applicable under relevant data protection laws. IPCalculus will
inform you should automated individual decision-making, including
profiling, take place.
Right to lodge a complaint.
If you believe that we have infringed your rights, we encourage you to
contact us first at
data.privacy@ipcalculus.com
so that we can try to resolve the issue. However, you have the right to
lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in a member state of your
habitual residence, place of work, or place of alleged infringement.
Notification of erasure, rectification and restriction
. We will communicate any rectification or erasure of your personal data or
restriction of processing to each recipient to whom your personal data have
been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate
effort.

invitations, white papers and information about our services that may

requires it.
