Privacy Policy
MarkSentry (marksentry.ai), operated by HD PREMIER INC, a Delaware corporation, provides live monitoring for new USPTO trademark filings, weekly U.S. design-patent grants, and newly delegated domains visible in approved zone feeds. Marketplace, open-web image, and likeness-and-voice products remain in validation and are not sold. This policy describes what we actually collect and what we actually do with it, written to match the system as built.
What we collect
- Account: your email address is the one credential we hold; we sign you in with emailed links, and sign-in links expire in 15 minutes. We never see or store a password.
- Protection workspace: the assets you register for a watch, which can include mark text and classes, brand or product labels, design and image files, domain-watch brand strings, and (only when you deliberately register for that validation flow) a likeness name, handles, consent record, and reference media. We also store the alerts, evidence, watch receipts, and decisions associated with your assets. MarkSentry does not compute biometric identifiers from likeness media.
- Free scan: the brand name you submit and the report we generate from it. Reports expire automatically 30 days after the scan. Your IP address is recorded solely for daily rate limiting, and those records carry expiry timestamps so they expire too.
- Site analytics: on the public pages, Google Analytics records which pages are viewed, in what order, from what kind of browser and device, and a rough location derived from your IP address. It is not started on sign-in, account, report, checkout, or dashboard pages, and it never sees your email, your watched assets, or your alerts. The Cookie Policy lists the cookies it sets and the regions where it runs without any.
- Waitlist: your email address and which roadmap tier you joined.
- Billing: payments run through Stripe's hosted checkout. Your card details go to Stripe and never touch our servers; we store only your subscription status.
- Email you send us: if you write to an @marksentry.ai address, we keep the message so we can answer it.
What we do (and don't do) with it
We use this data to operate your selected watches and validation tools, preserve their evidence records, send alerts and sign-in links (from alerts@marksentry.ai), enforce rate limits, bill subscriptions, and see which public pages get visited. That's it. The site runs no advertising trackers; the one analytics service it runs, Google Analytics, is limited to the public pages as described above. We do not sell your data or share it for advertising, and we don't add you to a marketing list; every email we send is about your account and your alerts.
Who processes it for us
- Amazon Web Services: application hosting, database, object storage, inbound email receipt and storage, and fallback outbound delivery.
- Resend: primary outbound delivery for transactional alerts, sign-in links, and account emails.
- Stripe: payment processing.
- Anthropic: AI-assisted triage. Relevant registered text or imagery and a public candidate record can be evaluated by Claude models to explain why a candidate may be close. The source record remains separate from that analysis.
- Google: traffic measurement for the public pages (Google Analytics), under Google's privacy policy.
Candidate records come from the named public sources described on each coverage page. Your registered assets and private reference media are not public records.
How long we keep it
Workspace data is kept while your account exists, including when a paid watch is paused so its history is not silently deleted. Scan reports expire after 30 days; watch receipts and rate-limit records carry automatic expiry. Canceling a subscription pauses its watches; it does not delete their history. If you ask us to delete account data, we will review the request and tell you what can be removed and what must remain for security, billing, fraud prevention, legal obligations, or backup recovery. Until we confirm completion and scope in writing, assume workspace records and private reference media remain retained.
Your choices
Email legal@marksentry.ai to request access, correction, or deletion of data we hold about you. We will respond with the request's scope, any required identity verification, and applicable retention limits. You can cancel a subscription at any time from your dashboard.
Security
Data moves over TLS and rests on AWS storage with encryption at rest. Sessions use an httpOnly, Secure cookie (details in the Cookie Policy), and internal access follows least privilege.
Children
MarkSentry is a business tool and is not directed to children under 13.
