Privacy Policy

Effective September 22, 2026

MarkMyLogo is a trademark application service provided by Kimball Anderson, a law firm ("Kimball Anderson," "we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through www.markmylogo.com and app.markmylogo.com (together, the "Sites"), how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

If you become a client of Kimball Anderson, your information is also protected by our duty of confidentiality under the rules of professional conduct that apply to lawyers. Those duties apply in addition to this policy.

Information you give us

When you complete the trademark application form, schedule a consultation, or contact us, you may give us:

Contact details, such as your name, email address, and phone number.
Applicant details, such as the owner's legal name, type of owner (individual or business entity), state or country of formation or citizenship, and street address.
Trademark details, such as the words in the mark, a logo file, a description of your goods or services, dates of first use, your website address, and whether the mark includes the name or likeness of a living person.
Specimens and uploads, such as photos or screenshots showing the mark in use.
Anything else you choose to send us, such as notes in the form or messages by email.

Please do not send us Social Security numbers, payment card numbers, or other sensitive personal information through the Sites.

Information collected automatically

Website analytics. www.markmylogo.com uses Plausible Analytics to count visits and see which pages are popular. Plausible does not use cookies and does not collect personal information that identifies you.
Server logs. Like most websites, our hosting providers automatically record basic technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you request, to operate and secure the Sites.

We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels, and we do not track you across other websites.

Automated checks on your application

To help catch problems before your application reaches an attorney, the application form runs a few automated checks. It verifies street addresses, compares the words in your mark to a list of common U.S. surnames from the U.S. Census Bureau, and checks whether those words have a meaning in another language. These checks only flag items for attorney review. They do not make any decision about your application.

How we use your information

To review, prepare, and file your trademark application and communicate with you about it.
To check for conflicts of interest before we agree to represent you, as the rules for lawyers require.
To schedule and hold consultations.
To send you invoices and keep business and accounting records.
To operate, secure, and improve the Sites.
To meet our legal and professional obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with anyone for their own advertising or marketing.

Your trademark filing is a public record

If we file a trademark application for you, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) publishes much of the information in it, including the owner's name, the owner's address, and the details of the mark. This is the USPTO's rule, not ours, and it applies to every trademark filing. Anyone can search these records, and they stay public permanently. We will talk with you about what information goes into the filing before anything is submitted.

Because these records are public, applicants often receive letters and emails from private companies offering trademark services or asking for fees. These are not from the USPTO or from us. Official USPTO email comes from an address ending in @uspto.gov.

Who we share information with

We share information only as needed to provide our services:

The USPTO, when we file your application or respond to the USPTO on your behalf.
Service providers that help us run the Sites and our practice, including Netlify (hosting and form storage for app.markmylogo.com), Railway (hosting for www.markmylogo.com), Google (address verification), Anthropic (checking the words in a mark for foreign-language meanings), Plausible (website analytics), Calendly (consultation scheduling), and our email and document storage providers. These providers may use the information only to provide their services to us. For the foreign-language check, only the words of the mark are sent. No names or contact details are included.
When the law requires it, such as in response to a valid subpoena or court order, or to protect our rights or the safety of others, and only as permitted by our professional obligations.
If our practice changes hands, such as a merger or sale of the practice, and only as permitted by the rules of professional conduct.

How long we keep information

We keep information for as long as we need it to provide our services and as long as the law and the rules for lawyers require us to keep client files. If you submit the form but do not become a client, we keep your submission only as long as reasonably needed to follow up with you and to maintain conflict-of-interest records.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections to the Sites and access limited to the people who need it. No method of sending or storing information online is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and rights

You may ask us to show you, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by emailing contact@kimballanderson.com. We will respond within a reasonable time and as required by applicable law. Some information we must keep, such as client files and records we are legally or professionally required to maintain, and information already filed with the USPTO, which we cannot remove from the public record.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under your state's law. You can use the same email address to make any request, and we will not treat you differently for doing so.

Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. Because the Sites do not track you across other websites or use advertising cookies, we do not change how the Sites work when we receive this signal.

Children

The Sites are intended for adults and businesses. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Links to other websites

The Sites link to other websites, such as the USPTO and Calendly. Those websites have their own privacy practices, and this policy does not cover them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page. If a change is significant, we will take reasonable steps to let current clients know.
