Last updated: June 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how NotaryOfficial.com, operated by Stellar Ventures LLC ("we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at www.notaryofficial.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Visitors

When you browse the Site, we may automatically collect standard server log data, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs. This information is used solely to analyze traffic patterns and improve the Site experience. It is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

Notary Members

When a notary registers for a listing account, we collect the information you provide, including your name, email address, phone number, business name, and service address. This information is used to create and display your public listing and to communicate with you about your account. Your contact information (excluding your email address, which is never publicly displayed) may be visible to visitors of the Site as part of your listing.

Payment Information

All payments are processed securely by Stripe, Inc., a PCI-DSS compliant payment processor. We do not store, transmit, or have access to your full credit card number, card verification codes, or bank account details. Stripe's privacy policy is available at stripe.com/privacy. We retain records of transaction amounts, dates, and subscription status for billing and accounting purposes.

COOKIES

We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain session state, remember your login, and understand how the Site is used. You may configure your browser to refuse cookies; however, some features of the Site — including member login — may not function correctly without them. We do not use cookies to track you across third-party websites for advertising purposes.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

  • To create and display your public notary listing
  • To process payments and manage your subscription
  • To send transactional emails related to your account (approval, rejection, billing)
  • To respond to support requests submitted through our contact form
  • To geocode your service address for map display, using the Google Geocoding API
  • To analyze aggregate Site usage and improve our services

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

We use the following third-party services that may process data in connection with your use of the Site:

  • Stripe — payment processing (stripe.com/privacy)

Each of these services operates under its own privacy policy. We have no control over how these providers handle data beyond our use of their APIs.

DATA RETENTION

We retain your account and listing information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account through the member portal or contact support to request removal, your personal information and listing will be permanently deleted from our systems. Billing records may be retained for a period required by applicable law.

SECURITY

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect. All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted via TLS (HTTPS). However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
