1. Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how PatentDraw (“PatentDraw,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles personal information when you use patentdraw.pro, create an account, submit a project, request support, or purchase services once checkout is enabled.
2. Information we collect
- Account information: email address, display name, password hash, notification preferences, and authentication records.
- Project content: invention titles, technical descriptions, instructions, reference files, generated drafts, generated drawings, and related metadata.
- Usage and device data: IP address, browser and device information, timestamps, pages viewed, diagnostic events, and security logs.

3. How we use information
We use information to provide and improve the service; generate requested drafts and drawings; operate accounts; deliver files and notifications; process and reconcile transactions; prevent fraud and abuse; troubleshoot problems; comply with legal obligations; and communicate about service changes.
4. AI processing
Project content may be processed by AI and infrastructure providers that help generate requested output. Provider access is limited to delivering and securing the service under applicable contractual terms. Do not submit export-controlled data, classified information, regulated health information, or information you are not permitted to disclose.
5. How we disclose information
We may disclose information to hosting, storage, email, analytics, security, customer-support, AI, and payment providers; to professional advisers; in a business transfer; when required by law; or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, and service integrity. We do not sell personal information for money.
6. Retention
We retain account and project information for as long as needed to provide the service, maintain legitimate business and security records, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. Retention periods vary by data type. Backup copies may persist for a limited period after deletion.
7. Security
We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No internet service is completely secure. Use a unique password, protect your login session, and notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.
8. Your choices and rights
You may update account information and notification choices in account settings. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or information about disclosures. We may verify your identity before completing a request and retain information when legally permitted or required.
9. Cookies
PatentDraw uses essential cookies to maintain authenticated sessions and protect account functions. Additional analytics or advertising cookies should be disclosed and presented with legally required choices before they are enabled.
10. International processing
Information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.
11. Children
PatentDraw is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Users must also meet any higher minimum age required by local law.
