Privacy notice
We handle personal data for people in many countries, so this notice is written to satisfy the strictest applicable standard in each region.
Last updated August 2026
Who is responsible
Ascen Mark is operated by Ascendum Corporate Advisory LLC, which is the data controller for the information you submit through this portal. Local agents we appoint in each jurisdiction act as independent controllers for the filings they lodge on your behalf with the relevant registry.
What we collect
Account details (name, email, country, company), filing content (brand names, descriptions, specimens, drawings, priority documents), documents you upload in any format, billing records, and technical logs needed to keep the service secure.
Why we may use it (lawful bases)
Performance of our contract with you (preparing and filing applications), legal obligations (anti-money-laundering, tax, registry rules), and our legitimate interests in securing and improving the service. Where consent is required — for example marketing email or certain cookies — we ask for it and you may withdraw it at any time.
International transfers
Filing internationally necessarily involves transferring your data to the destination country and its intellectual property office. Where required we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK IDTA, or your explicit informed consent for transfers to countries without an adequacy decision. Registry records are public by law once an application is published.
Your rights
Depending on where you live you may request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, or withdrawal of consent, and you may opt out of "sale" or "sharing" and targeted advertising (we do not sell personal data). India's DPDP Act rights including grievance redressal, the Australian Privacy Principles, PIPEDA, the UAE PDPL and US state laws such as the CCPA/CPRA are honoured through the same request channel.
Email privacy@ascenmark.com to exercise any right. We respond within 30 days.
Retention and security
Filing files are retained for the life of the right plus the statutory limitation period, then deleted or anonymised. Documents are stored in encrypted, access-controlled storage and are visible only to you and the staff assigned to your matter.
Complaints
You may complain to your local supervisory authority — for example your EU data protection authority, the UK ICO, the OAIC in Australia, the OPC in Canada, the Data Protection Board of India, or the UAE Data Office.
