Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 19, 2026
1. Introduction
PAT Rights (“PAT Rights,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an informational website located at https://pat-rights.com/ that publishes content about United States patents, trademarks, copyright, and other intellectual property topics. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit or interact with the Site.
PAT Rights is owned and operated by Adnan Khan. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the Site.
PAT Rights is an independent informational website. We are not a law firm, a government agency, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the U.S. Copyright Office, or affiliated with any of these entities. Nothing on the Site or in this Privacy Policy should be interpreted as suggesting otherwise.
2. Information We Collect
The information we collect depends on how you use the Site. In general, this may include:
- Information you choose to provide directly to us (for example, if you contact us by email).
- Information collected automatically through your use of the Site (for example, technical and usage data).
- Information collected through cookies or similar technologies, if and to the extent such technologies are used on the Site.
We do not knowingly collect more information than is reasonably necessary to operate the Site and respond to visitor communications.
3. Information Provided by Visitors
If you contact us directly, such as by sending an email to adnanpatrights@gmail.com, we may receive and retain the information you choose to include in that message. This may include your name, email address, and the content of your message.
We do not currently operate a contact form, newsletter sign-up, user account system, or comment system on the Site. If any such feature is added in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated to describe what information is collected and how it is used.
4. Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, the Site’s hosting environment and any underlying web server or infrastructure software may automatically log certain technical information when you visit, which can include:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device and operating system information
- Pages visited and time spent on the Site
- Referring website or source
- Date and time of access
This information is typically collected in the form of standard server or hosting logs and is used for purposes such as maintaining Site security, diagnosing technical issues, and understanding general usage patterns. We do not use this information to identify individual visitors by name.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
At this time, PAT Rights does not confirm the use of any specific cookies, tracking pixels, or similar technologies beyond what may be automatically applied by our hosting provider or content delivery infrastructure to operate the Site.
If PAT Rights begins using cookies or similar technologies (for example, for analytics or advertising purposes), this section will be updated to describe:
- The types of cookies used
- Their purpose
- How visitors can manage or disable them through their browser settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. Please refer to your browser’s help documentation for instructions.
6. How We Use Information
Any information we collect may be used to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
- Respond to inquiries sent to our contact email
- Monitor and analyze general Site usage and performance
- Maintain the security and integrity of the Site
- Comply with applicable legal obligations
We do not use visitor information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
7. How We Share Information
PAT Rights does not sell visitor information. We do not share personal information with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.
We may share information in limited circumstances, including:
- With service providers that support the technical operation of the Site (such as web hosting), to the extent such providers are used, and only as necessary for them to perform their function
- If required to do so by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request
- To protect the rights, property, or safety of PAT Rights, its visitors, or others, where permitted by law
- In connection with a potential transfer of the Site’s assets, such as a sale or transfer of ownership, in which case visitor information may be among the transferred assets, subject to applicable law
8. Third-Party Services
PAT Rights does not currently confirm the use of any specific third-party services, plugins, embedded content, or tools on the Site. If we integrate a third-party service in the future (for example, a hosting provider’s built-in tools, a form service, or an analytics platform), this section will be updated to identify that service and describe how it may collect or process information, along with a link to that provider’s own privacy policy where available.
We encourage visitors to check back periodically, as third-party tools operate under their own privacy practices, which are outside our control.
9. Advertising and Analytics
PAT Rights does not currently confirm the use of any advertising network or analytics platform. The Site does not, at this time, use services such as Google Analytics or Google AdSense unless and until such use is implemented and disclosed here.
Should PAT Rights begin using advertising or analytics services, this section will be updated to explain:
- Which service(s) are used
- What data they collect (such as usage or device data)
- Whether they use cookies or similar tracking technologies
- How visitors can opt out, where such options are available
10. External Links
The Site may contain links to external websites, including government resources (such as USPTO or U.S. Copyright Office websites), reference material, or other third-party sites. These links are provided for informational convenience only.
PAT Rights does not control, endorse, or take responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or security of any external website. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site before providing information to it.
11. Data Security
We take reasonable measures intended to protect information associated with the Site from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, such as responding to an inquiry or maintaining basic technical logs, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Emails sent to adnanpatrights@gmail.com may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to address the inquiry and for our internal recordkeeping, after which they may be deleted at our discretion.
13. Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for a general adult audience interested in intellectual property topics and is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at adnanpatrights@gmail.com so that we can take appropriate action.
14. US Privacy Rights
Depending on your state of residence, you may have certain rights regarding personal information collected about you, which can include the right to:
- Know what personal information is collected
- Request access to or a copy of your personal information
- Request correction or deletion of your personal information
- Opt out of certain uses of your personal information, where applicable
Because PAT Rights is a small informational website with limited data collection, many of these rights may have limited practical application to how the Site currently operates. If you wish to exercise any applicable privacy right, you may contact us using the information in Section 19, and we will respond as appropriate under applicable law.
15. California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to request access to, deletion of, or information about the personal information we may hold about you, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
PAT Rights does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined under California law. To make a request under California law, please contact us at adnanpatrights@gmail.com.
16. Other State Privacy Laws
Residents of certain other states, including states with comprehensive privacy laws such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and others, may have similar rights to those described above, subject to the specific requirements and exemptions of each state’s law. If you believe a state privacy law applies to you and wish to exercise a right under that law, please contact us at adnanpatrights@gmail.com, and we will address your request in accordance with applicable law.
17. International Visitors
The Site is intended primarily for visitors located in the United States, and this Privacy Policy is written with US privacy laws in mind. If you access the Site from outside the United States, please be aware that any information collected may be processed or stored in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those of your home country. By using the Site, you consent to this processing.
18. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the Site’s features, or legal requirements. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
