David & Raymond International Patent Group encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any changes are made shall imply that you are aware of the changes in this Privacy Policy and shall constitute your deemed acceptance of such changes.

1. Data Collection

Like most website operators, David & Raymond International Patent Group collects Non-Personally-Identifying Data of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, including but not limited to browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. David & Raymond International Patent Group’s purpose in collecting Non-Personally Identifying Data is to better understand how David & Raymond International Patent Group’s visitors use its website. From time to time, David & Raymond International Patent Group may release Non-Personally-Identifying Data in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

David & Raymond International Patent Group also collects potentially Personally-Identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. David & Raymond International Patent Group does not use such information to identify its visitors save for the manner and circumstances as described below.

2. What happens to any data that we collect

Certain Services require David & Raymond International Patent Group to gather Personally-Identifying Data (“the Interaction”). The amount and type of information that David & Raymond International Patent Group gathers depends on the nature of the Interaction. Certain Interactions require you to provide additional information, including as necessary, the personal and financial information required to effect an Interaction. In each case, David & Raymond International Patent Group collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s Interaction with David & Raymond International Patent Group. David & Raymond International Patent Group does not disclose Personally-Identifying Data save for the circumstances as identified in Clause 3, 4 and 5.

3. Sharing your personal data for legal and business purposes

Important note: For the provision of Services, we may be required to share your information with other parties, including but not limited to, financial institutions, and David & Raymond International Patent Group affiliates. We will always only share the limited personal information to that which is strictly required in each unique Interaction. You agree and consent that Personally Identifying Data may be shared with the above stated parties as set out in this Clause 3.

4. Anonymous Statistics

We may anonymise your Non-Personally Identifying Data and Personally Identifying Data for the purposes of internal statistics (“the Reports”) for example product research to help us improve our Services.

5. Marketing Communications

From time to time you may receive from us a variety of communications, including but not limited to newsletters, emails and text messages (“the Marking Communications”), that will include service updates, product advertising and offers related to our Services which we believe you may be interested in.

At any time, you may change your Marketing Communication preferences, either by:

- Contacting our team directly using the ‘Contact Us’ option, found either in the email we sent or on the David & Raymond International Patent Group.com website.

Aside from Marketing Communication, please note that from time to time, you may receive some important service information that we believe is critical to the use of our Services. In these exceptional circumstances, such information will be sent to you regardless of your Marketing Communication preferences.

If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users.
