Information collected during a notarization
Texas law requires notaries to keep a record of certain notarial acts. Depending on the service, this may include your name, address, the type of document, the date of the act, and the type of identification presented. For remote online notarizations, Texas law requires that the audio-visual recording of the session be retained.
These records are maintained as required by the Texas Government Code and are not used for marketing.

5. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in these limited circumstances:
