Once your report is delivered, your input is permanently deleted from our server and database. No backups, no indexing, no reuse. Your invention stays yours — always. ### We don't train AI models on your invention description Your invention description is not used to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any AI model — neither ours nor any third party’s. We do not collect your input for future model improvement, and we do not contribute it to any dataset used for machine learning. Our service is designed to process your submission once and discard it, without feeding it into any learning system. ### We never submit your exact description To protect your confidentiality, we don’t search using your exact wording. Instead, our AI rewrites your description into several neutral technical formulations before querying IP, scientific, funding and regulatory databases. This ensures maximum protection of your intellectual input. ### Our tech infrastructure providers are ISO/IEC 27001 certified We run on infrastructure that meets the **international gold standard for data security**. From data storage to email delivery, all processing is handled by providers that are **ISO/IEC 27001 certified**, ensuring robust protection of your input from start to finish. ### Our server and database are based in the European Union All your data is processed and stored — temporarily — on servers located in the European Union. We are a [Swiss company](https://ftochecker.com/about) using European infrastructure providers to ensure full **GDPR compliance** and better control over data residency. ### We search trusted, global patent databases We query established patent databases covering over 100 jurisdictions worldwide. Our data sources are selected for breadth of coverage, data quality, and respect for user privacy — we do not use providers that log or reuse your queries. ### Each report comes with a confidentiality commitment Every FTO report we send includes a clear statement: your input stays confidential. We’re not a law firm, but we treat your invention as **sensitive by default** — and we never reuse, disclose, or train models on it. ![FTO Checker white](https://ftochecker.com/hubfs/FTO%20Checker%20white.png) 35B avenue de la Chablière 1004 Lausanne Switzerland [contact@ftochecker.com](mailto:contact@ftochecker.com) ### FTO & Patent Due Diligence - [What makes a patent relevant](https://ftochecker.com/what-makes-a-patent-relevant) - [Patentability vs. FTO](https://ftochecker.com/patentability-versus-fto) - [Patent data and market intelligence](https://ftochecker.com/patent-data-and-market-intelligence) - [How much does an FTO analysis cost](https://ftochecker.com/how-much-does-an-fto-analysis-cost) ### How FTO Checker Works - [FAQ](https://ftochecker.com/faq) - [Use cases](https://ftochecker.com/use-cases) - [For patent attorneys](https://ftochecker.com/fto-checker-for-patent-attorneys) - [How FTO Checker uses AI](https://ftochecker.com/how-fto-checker-uses-ai) - [Scientific sources](https://ftochecker.com/scientific-sources) - [European jurisdictions](https://ftochecker.com/european-jurisdictions) ### Legal - [Terms and conditions](https://ftochecker.com/terms-and-conditions) - [Privacy policy](https://ftochecker.com/privacy-policy) - [About](https://ftochecker.com/about) [Powered by Atlas - a B2B SaaS HubSpot theme](https://www.kalungi.com/atlas-hubspot-theme-for-b2b-saas-software) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "Organization", "address" : { "@type" : "PostalAddress", "addressCountry" : "CH", "addressLocality" : "Lausanne", "postalCode" : "1004", "streetAddress" : "35B avenue de la Chablière" }, "description" : "AI-powered patent search and IP due diligence tool.
