Privacy Policy
Effective date: April 30, 2026
Who we are
Searchlight is a prior-art search firm and company site operated by Searchlight Legal Technologies, Inc.. You can reach us at [email protected].
What we collect
We collect the information needed to operate the company site, respond to inquiries, schedule scoping calls, preserve security, and maintain basic operational logs.
Scheduling and contact information
If you schedule a call or contact us, we may receive your name, email address, the patent number or matter details you provide, asserted claim information, scheduling details, and the content of your message.
Cal.com scheduling
If scheduling is enabled, the embedded scheduler and direct scheduling links are provided by Cal.com. Cal.com receives and processes the scheduling information you submit according to its own terms and privacy policy. We receive that information from Cal.com so we can confirm and prepare for the call. Any patent numbers, asserted claims, or matter details you enter in the scheduler are submitted to Cal.com as booking-question context and shared with us.
Patent autocomplete
The schedule form may call the Searchlight backend to suggest patent numbers as you type. The company site proxies this lookup through the same origin and does not expose broad product API access.
Server logs
Our hosting infrastructure generates standard server access logs that may include IP addresses, timestamps, URLs requested, and browser user agent strings. These logs are used for operations and security.
What we do not collect
- No payment or financial data through this company site
- No advertising cookies or third-party ad tracking
- No sale of personal information
Confidentiality
We treat your personal information as confidential. We do not sell, rent, or share it for advertising, marketing lists, or unrelated commercial purposes.
We disclose personal information only as reasonably necessary to operate the site, provide scheduling and email services, comply with applicable law or valid legal process, respond to a specific security incident, fraud, or abuse of the site, or as you consent or direct. In those cases, we share only what is reasonably needed. Service providers and outside counsel are bound by confidentiality and use-limitation obligations and may use the information only to support the services they provide to us.
Service providers
We use infrastructure and scheduling providers to host, secure, operate, and schedule through the site. We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for advertising, marketing lists, or unrelated commercial purposes.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
