Information We Collect or Use
GenIP Ltd is the sole owner of the information collected on all Websites in its intellectual property network including www.inventionevaluator.com and www.inventionevaluator.com.au (hereinafter referred to as “site”). We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. On occasion, you may find sections of this Website which require registration prior to access. Depending on what services or features you request, we may require specific personal and contact information. This information is used to provide you with enhanced features and services, and if necessary, to contact you regarding:
Verification and authentication of requests by website owners for adding to our directory listings, delivery of our e-mail newsletters, or promotional materials from our partners, which you may have elected to receive.
For authentication for access to sections of our websites that require LOGIN or password access.
Additionally, we adhere to the following:
Since some content on Invention Evaluator’s websites may be accessed by persons under 13 years of age, Pantros IP complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), which limits our collection of information from children under 13 years old, registration to certain sections may also require the date of birth to verify that the user is at least 13 years old. It is optional for the user to provide demographic information (such as interests, income level, company position, and gender), and unique identifiers (such as state or country of residence), but is encouraged so we can personalize your experience on this site. We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
For your convenience, many sections of our site allow you to e-mail a copy of our page to your friend or associate. Using this feature requires you to enter your friend’s e-mail address so that we may deliver the Web page. The e-mail address you enter is used one time only, and only to send the page you requested.
Ordering Products or Services From Us
When our order forms ask you to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry – SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web Browsers such as FireFox®, Microsoft® Internet Explorer® and Netscape Navigator® becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’. Sharing Information With Third Parties We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. None of this information is linked to any personal information, and cannot identify any individual person.
Security
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password access to LOGIN to our company network. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.

We handle unsolicited information in the following manner: * We make every attempt to identify unsolicited invention submissions sent by mail or courier prior to opening it. If it appears to be invention information, we do not open it. However, we may open the package in which case, your information is then deemed non-confidential. * Opened and unopened invention submissions will be destroyed, and no copies will be made: submissions on paper will be shredded, submissions via e-mail will be deleted. We will not notify you of destruction of this information, nor will we respond to your unsolicited submission except as outlined in the following return policy. * We will not return any delivered packages to you unless it is so marked by you, and then only if you agree to pay for return postage.
