What do we do with your personal information?
With the recent events of hacking and cybersecurity concerns of major companies in Australia, more and more notary public clients have asked us about why, how and where we store their personal information. In this article, we attempt to answer some of these commonly asked questions about your personal information in our care.
Privacy and confidentiality
Our primary obligation is to protect your privacy and keep your information confidential. We only keep information that is necessary for us to:
- Properly identify who you are (ie, copies of your client details and your photo identification)
- Record when you received notary public services from us.
- Verify what notary public services you received from us (including what documents*).
- How much we charged you for the service.
We will only provide verification to third-party enquiries (we do not provide copies of our records without your approval) unless required by law.
