This Privacy Policy describes how The Southern Agency ("Notary.Bond," "we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with the Notary.Bond website (the "Site").
1. Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly — for example, when you contact us by phone or email — and limited information collected automatically as you use the Site, such as standard server logs and general usage data. The Site does not require you to create an account.
2. How we use information
We use information to operate and improve the Site, respond to inquiries, understand how visitors use the Site, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information.
3. Purchases and checkout
When you choose to purchase, you complete your purchase through The Southern Agency's secure checkout platform. Information you submit during checkout is handled under the privacy practices presented there, which may differ from this policy.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
The Site may use cookies and similar technologies for basic site functionality and aggregate analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them does not prevent you from browsing the Site.
5. Sharing and disclosure
We may share information with service providers who help us operate the Site, when required by law, or to protect our rights and the safety of others. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
6. Data retention and security
We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy and use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your rights and choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your information, such as the right to request access to or deletion of personal information we hold about you. To make a request, contact us using the details below and we will respond as required by applicable law.
8. Children's privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
