This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle your personal and non-personal information when you access our IPR resources and services.

We are committed to protecting user data while maintaining transparency in how we operate.

Please understand that:

  • Any information, articles, or IP insights shared on this Website are simplified explanations of legal concepts, not professional legal advice for your specific invention or brand.

  • Do not rely on this Website as a direct legal reference for filing IP applications or responding to infringement notices.
  • Visiting or communicating with Arshiv Legal does not automatically create an attorney–client relationship.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information to improve our IP resources and respond to your legal inquiries responsibly.

a. Personal Information Provided by You

We may collect your name, email address, contact number, institutional affiliation (if applicable), and inquiry type when voluntarily submitted through our consultation forms.

We automatically collect technical and analytical data including:

  • IP address, browser type, device type, and operating system

Do not use the content provided here directly for IP filings, patent office responses, or infringement litigation. Intellectual property laws are highly technical, and simplified content here may not reflect recent amendments by the IPO, WIPO, or courts.

6. Data Security

We employ reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. These include secure storage and limited access to authorized legal personnel.

Your data is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes mentioned above or as required by law.

Once no longer needed, it will be securely deleted.

Users may request deletion of their data at any time by contacting us directly. However, we are not liable for any technical delay or third-party retention beyond our control.
