This Privacy Policy describes how Pro Notary LLC (“ProNotary,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, stores, protects, and discloses personal information in connection with our websites, applications, Remote Online Notarization platform, related services, and communications with customers, signers, notaries, business partners, and website visitors. This Privacy Policy applies when you access or use our website, create or use an account, participate in a notarization session, communicate with us, request support, or otherwise interact with our services.

ProNotary provides regulated digital signing and Remote Online Notarization services that may involve identity verification, credential analysis, knowledge-based authentication, electronic signatures, document workflows, and audio or video session recording. Because of the nature of these services, we may collect and process personal information that is necessary to provide our services, comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, prevent fraud, maintain required records, and protect the security and integrity of our platform.

By accessing or using our website or services, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy. We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or service offerings. When we do, we will update the effective date of this Privacy Policy.

Overview and Definitions

What Personal Information Means

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could reasonably be linked to an individual. Depending on the context, personal information may include identifiers, government-issued identification information, financial or billing information, communications, device and browser data, notarization records, audio or video recordings, transaction records, and other information reasonably necessary to provide our services.

Personal information does not include information that has been de-identified or aggregated so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual, or information that is publicly available from government records or other lawful public sources. Where we use de-identified or aggregated information, we will maintain it in that form unless otherwise required or permitted by law.

Nonpublic Personal Information (NPI)

In the course of providing our services, ProNotary may collect, process, store, or disclose Nonpublic Personal Information (“NPI”), including personally identifiable information, government-issued identification data, financial information, transaction records, and other information that is not publicly available and is obtained in connection with the services we provide. ProNotary treats NPI as highly sensitive information and applies administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect it against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include encryption in transit, access controls, secure cloud infrastructure, monitoring, logging, authentication controls, and other safeguards appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the information we process. Although no system can guarantee absolute security, we take commercially reasonable steps to protect the information entrusted to us.

In the event of a security incident involving personal information, ProNotary will respond in accordance with applicable law, contractual obligations, and its internal incident response procedures.

How ProNotary Handles Personal Information

Information Collected (WHAT)

The categories of personal information we collect vary based on your interaction with our services. These categories may include information provided by users, information generated through use of the platform, and information reasonably necessary to facilitate notarization, identity verification, transactions, compliance, and customer support.

Personal information we collect may include your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, account credentials, date of birth, government-issued identification information, payment or billing information, transaction data, document-related data, electronic signature data, audio and video recordings, communications with support, and technical information such as IP address, device information, browser type, operating system, session activity, and usage information.

We may also receive personal information from customers, notaries, transaction participants, identity verification providers, credential analysis providers, payment processors, cloud providers, service providers, business partners, and public or governmental sources where permitted by law and relevant to the services we provide, compliance obligations, or fraud prevention processes.

We seek to limit the personal information we collect to what is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing services, complying with legal obligations, maintaining required records, and protecting the security and integrity of our platform.

We rely on personal information provided to us by users and other authorized parties in connection with our services, and we do not independently verify all such information except as required or appropriate for identity verification, compliance, or fraud prevention purposes.

How We Collect Information (HOW)

We collect personal information in three primary ways:

1. Directly from you. We collect information when you provide it to us through forms, account registration, support requests, notarization sessions, uploaded documents, payments, or other interactions with our website or services.
2. Automatically through technology. We collect certain information through cookies, browser logs, analytics tools, and other technologies that help us understand usage, maintain security, and improve platform performance.
3. From third parties. We may receive information from customers, transaction counterparties, identity verification and credential analysis providers, payment processors, service providers, public records, and governmental sources, where legally permitted and reasonably necessary.

How We Use Information (WHY)

We use personal information for legitimate business, operational, legal, and compliance purposes. These purposes include providing and operating our website and platform; facilitating notarization, eSignature, identity verification, credential analysis, and related transactions; processing payments; maintaining records and audit trails; responding to inquiries and support requests; improving system functionality and user experience; monitoring performance and security; detecting and preventing fraud, misuse, and unlawful activity; enforcing our agreements; and complying with legal, regulatory, contractual, and notarial recordkeeping obligations.

Where applicable, we process personal information based on contractual necessity, legal obligations, and legitimate business interests related to providing, securing, supporting, and improving our services.

We may use personal information to communicate with you about service updates, account matters, support matters, security notifications, operational notices, and, where permitted by law, information about our products or services. We use personal information only for purposes that are reasonably necessary to provide our services or otherwise permitted by applicable law, including to comply with legal obligations, regulatory requirements, lawful requests, and to protect the rights, property, and safety of ProNotary, its users, and others.

How We Share Personal Information (WHO ELSE)

We may disclose personal information to service providers, contractors, agents, and other third parties we use to support our business and deliver our services. These may include affiliates, cloud hosting and infrastructure providers, customer relationship management providers, payment processors, customer support platforms, data analytics providers, identity verification and anti-fraud solution providers, electronic signature and digital transaction management providers, customers, notaries, counterparties in a transaction, and other authorized recipients where necessary to facilitate our services.

We may also disclose information in connection with legal obligations, lawful requests, fraud prevention, incident investigation, enforcement of our agreements, protection of rights and property, and corporate transactions such as a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, or sale of assets. We may disclose aggregated or de-identified information that does not reasonably identify an individual.

ProNotary does not sell personal information for monetary consideration, does not engage in the sale of personal information as defined under applicable privacy laws, and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We do not include references here to providers that do not apply to ProNotary’s current operations.
