Privacy Policy

For the purposes of GDPR, the data controller is Secure Mark Attorneys, reachable at info@securemarkattorneys.com or (925) 445-6024. For privacy-related requests, please use the email address above with the subject line "Privacy Request".

• Identification data — name, email, phone number, and any business or brand information you submit through our forms.
• Engagement data — the trademark, logo, slogan, goods, services, and supporting materials you share in connection with a filing.
• Technical data — IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and pages viewed, collected through cookies and similar technologies.
• Communications — records of messages, calls, and SMS exchanged with our team.

We process your personal data only where one of the following lawful bases applies:

• Consent — when you explicitly opt in (for example, marketing communications or SMS).
• Contract — to perform our services and respond to your requests.
• Legal obligation — to comply with regulatory, tax, and professional-responsibility requirements.
• Legitimate interests — to operate, secure, and improve our website and services, balanced against your rights.

• Prepare, file, and prosecute trademark applications with the USPTO.
• Communicate with you about your matter, including status updates and deadlines.
• Provide quotes, invoices, and process payments.
• Improve our website, content, and client experience.
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents.
• Comply with applicable laws and professional rules.

We use a small set of cookies. Strictly necessary cookies keep the site functional and cannot be disabled. Analytics and marketing cookies fire only after you provide consent through our cookie banner. You can change your preferences at any time using the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer.

We share personal data only with: (a) the United States Patent and Trademark Office, where necessary to file or prosecute your application; (b) trusted service providers (hosting, email, payment processing) bound by appropriate data-protection agreements; and (c) authorities when required by law or to protect our legal rights.

Our services are operated from the United States. If you access our site from outside the U.S., your data will be transferred to and processed in the U.S. Where required, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved transfer mechanisms for data originating in the EU/UK.

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal and professional obligations, and to resolve disputes. Engagement files are typically retained for at least seven years following the close of the matter.

If you are in the EU, UK, or another jurisdiction with comparable laws, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Request erasure of your data ("right to be forgotten").
• Request restriction of, or object to, certain processing.
• Receive your data in a portable, machine-readable format.
• Withdraw any consent you have provided, at any time.
• Lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, email info@securemarkattorneys.com.

We use industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal data, including encrypted transit, access controls, and limited employee access on a need-to-know basis.

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

Questions, requests, or complaints about this policy can be sent to info@securemarkattorneys.com or by phone at (925) 445-6024.
