In accordance with Pennsylvania law (including 4 Pa. Code § 167.32), we adhere to strict privacy limits regarding Personally Identifiable Information (PII) for your protection against identity and deed fraud:

6. DATA SECURITY

We implement industry-standard security measures, including SSL encryption, to protect your personal data during transmission and storage. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, no method of online transmission or storage is 100% secure.

8. YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or request the deletion of your personal data. Please note that text or database deletion requests cannot overwrite or wipe out entries made in a state-mandated physical or tamper-evident electronic notary journal.
