Here at IP Centrum we’re realistic. Busy IP professionals don’t spend their time reading privacy notices… however...
This privacy notice tells you what to expect when we collect personal information. It applies to information we collect about:
This website and the associated IP Formalities services are delivered by IP Centrum Limited and a small group of related companies so in this privacy notice “we” or “us” includes our parent company de Banke Group Limited and related trading subsidiaries including IP Centrum Group Limited and IP Centrum Limited.
When someone visits www.ipcentrum.com we use third-party services, to collect standard internet log information (e.g. IP address) and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the location of our visitors or the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be upfront about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it.
When you visit certain pages of our website we use a third-party service, FullStory (https://www.fullstory.com/), to collect information on visitor behaviour. We do this to help us ensure that visits to our website are frustration-free and to see how we might be able to improve our service to you. FullStory may capture data that you enter into forms on our website but do not ultimately choose to submit.
Additionally, we use other third-party services such as LeadForensics (https://www.leadforensics.com/), Leadfeeder (https://www.leadfeeder.com/), Albacross (https://albacross.com/) and 6Sense (https://6sense.com/) to identify the companies of the business visitors of our website based on the visiting IP address. In case the company is known, we identify which pages are being visited. We may use this information to understand what the visitor is interested in, and to help us provide content and services relevant to the visitor’s company.
You can read more about how we use cookies on our Cookies page - https://www.ipcentrum.com/cookies
When you either request a quote or log in to www.ipcentrum.com and use any of our IP Formalities services, your data is being entered into systems developed and maintained internally by us.
Any personal or business information you share with us using this system we only use to deliver and improve the IP Formalities services. To ensure we deliver a great service we analyse and report across all the data in our systems, but this analysis/reporting data always remains with us.
We instruct a network of IP Formalities partners in certain countries to help us verify and execute your IP Formalities. When we use a partner we only share with them the information required to complete your instruction successfully with an Intellectual Property Office. Those partners access your data on our systems.
We optionally provide an API (Application Programming Interface) for you to update and access your data in our systems alongside the www.ipcentrum.com website. This API is provided on top of the same systems as the website, and we treat your data with identical care.
When you register to use our IP Formalities services we will communicate with you from time to time to ensure the services are what you need, and let you know if we are introducing new services that might help you. If you ever want to opt out of communications other than the absolute minimum to deliver the services (e.g. operational issues or payment matters), please tell us by emailing us at dpo@ipcentrum.com.
Any emails you receive from us that are notifications (e.g. alerting you to an approaching deadline) are sent to you either directly from our systems or via a well established service used by many leading companies called MailGun (https://www.mailgun.com/). We don’t want you to miss any critical IP Formalities deadlines, so we trust MailGun to ensure important emails are always received by you.
When you register a mobile phone number and use SMS notifications we use a popular service called Twilio (https://www.twilio.com/). This is to try and ensure those important notifications reliably arrive on your phone. Twilio has been used by eBay, Twitter, AirBnB, Sony and many others.
We use a partner called MailChimp (https://mailchimp.com/), to deliver our email newsletters and other service or marketing communications. MailChimp have been trusted by organisations including The New York Times and Twitter to gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies including invisible images. They help us monitor and improve our email communications.
Any other emails you directly send or receive to us are stored and managed in Google’s Apps service.
To provide you the IP Centrum blog (https://www.ipcentrum.com/blog) we use a third-party service, WordPress. This site is hosted at https://wpengine.com/, which is run by WPEngine Inc. We use this standard WordPress service to collect anonymous information about users' activity on the site, for example the number of users viewing pages on the site, to monitor and report on the effectiveness of the site and help us improve it. WordPress requires visitors that want to post a comment to enter a name and email address. For more information about how WPEngine processes data, please see WPEngine Inc’s privacy policy on their site - https://wpengine.com/legal/privacy/.

Sally was one of the first. It was bold and - even she admits - scary. But the cumulative value HGF has delivered to its clients and partners over the years are a direct result of that early foresight.
Anne gets it. In IP formalities, anything less than 100% means failure. She believes Tata Steel's IP deserves perfection, which is why Anne puts in place solutions before normal people even recognise a potential problem.
Our quotes are accurate, fast and easy. Just enter your EP number and email address, and we'll take care of the rest.
