Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, and protect your information.
What we collect
Patents Wiki is designed to collect as little data as possible. The site is a static publication; there are no user accounts, no comment sections, and no data-harvesting forms.
The only data collected is standard server-level analytics, which may include your IP address, browser type, referral URL, and pages visited. This is used solely to understand traffic patterns and improve the site.
Cookies
This site does not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies. Any cookies present are strictly functional and necessary for the site to operate correctly.
Third parties
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties. The site may link to external sources (such as patent databases or research papers); those sites operate under their own privacy policies.
Data retention
Server logs are retained for a limited period for operational and security purposes, then deleted automatically. No personal data is kept longer than necessary.
Changes
This privacy policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
