Third-parties are strictly prohibited from using your personally identifiable information for any other purpose.

Notary Public Underwriters does not disclose any personally identifiable information, except as permitted by law to government authorities or third parties in which there is a legal request, subpoena, or other procedure that requires the disclosure of your information.

We always use industry standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving customer data through our website. However, no internet transmission is ever fully secure or error free.

There are some things that you can do to help protect the security of your information.
