Our Information Collection Practices
Information we collect directly from you and about you
We collect information about you directly from you, from the other parties involved in transactions (like a mortgage lender or title company), from third-parties that provide services that we need in order to provide our services (like credential analysis companies that review your photo ID), and from your use of the site.

We get most of this information directly from you, but some of the information is collected by our service as part of how it works or passively as part of the process.

Sale of Personal Information. We are not a data broker and do not sell personal information for monetary consideration, but we do share minimal personal information with marketing partners for online advertising purposes, which is considered a “sale” under some privacy laws.

We do not sell information that is collected as part of your transaction.
Our goal is to earn your trust. Our security systems are designed to protect your information from falling into the wrong hands, from being altered or corrupted, or from becoming unavailable. Our security systems are built to prevent and be resilient to intrusions, malware, and ransomware. We take pride in the trust you place in us, and we do our best to honor that trust. We do this by continuously improving our security measures, training our employees, and focusing on trust as our core offering.
We also need your help. The weakest part of any security system is people--including you. You can help secure your data by creating a strong password and storing it securely, logging out of your account after you are done, having a secure password on your phone, avoiding insecure Wi-Fi and just using common sense. If someone calls you and asks for your password, do not share it. We will never do that.
Marketing
We will send occasional promotional or informational emails to you relating to services and benefits we offer. You can opt-out of such communications, at any time, by following the opt-out instructions contained in the e-mail or by sending such a request to support@notarize.com. If you opt-out of receiving emails about recommendations or other information we think may interest you, we will still send you service messages about your account or any services you have requested or received from us or other notices as required by law.

Our services are not targeted or offered to citizens or permanent residents of countries other than the United States. Similarly, we do not offer our services to minors. Our website is designed for adults and we do not knowingly collect data from children or minors.
