This Privacy Policy explains how MDNotary4Us collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use our website or services. We handle sensitive identity and document information, and take that responsibility seriously.
2. Information We Collect
Information you provide
When you book an appointment or contact us, you may provide your name, phone number, email address, service location, and details about the documents or services you need.
Identity & document information
To perform notarization, fingerprinting, and I-9 verification, we view and record information from your government-issued ID and documents as required to complete the service.
Automatically collected information
Like most websites, we may collect basic technical information such as browser type and pages visited through standard analytics tools.
3. How We Use Your Information
To schedule, confirm, and perform your requested services.
To verify identity and complete notarial certificates, fingerprint cards, and I-9 forms as required.
To communicate with you about your appointment and service requirements.
To maintain records as required by law or by the receiving agency.
To improve our website and services.
4. Client Responsibilities
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as necessary to complete your service and as required by law:
With receiving agencies (such as employers, licensing boards, or the Maryland Secretary of State) to complete apostille, fingerprinting, and I-9 services you request.
With our third-party scheduling and payment processor (such as Square) and background screening provider (such as Checkr) to the extent needed to provide the service.
When required by law, court order, or to protect our legal rights.
5. Data Retention
Notarial records are retained as required by Maryland law. We retain appointment and service records only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described here and to meet legal obligations.
6. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including limiting access to authorized personnel and using secure scheduling and payment systems. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information with appropriate safeguards.
