Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January 5, 2026
Website: NotaryBrand.com
Company: Notary Brand LLC
Notary Brand LLC (“Notary Brand,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect personal information when you visit NotaryBrand.com, create an account, purchase a course or membership, submit a support ticket, complete training, receive certificates, or otherwise use our website, courses, and services.
By using our website, creating an account, purchasing a course, or using our services, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
California’s online privacy framework generally requires commercial websites collecting personal information from California residents to post a privacy policy describing the categories of information collected and how it may be shared. California consumers may also have privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, including rights to know, delete, opt out of sale/sharing, and non-discrimination, if the law applies to a business.

Refund requests must be submitted from inside the student account, and we may use account login and support-ticket records to verify the identity of the account holder.

Because student account names and certificate names are generally locked after registration, we may request documentation if you request a legal name change.
This may include documents such as:
- Court order;

- Other verification documents reasonably requested by Notary Brand LLC.
We use this information only to review and process the name-change request, maintain account integrity, prevent account transfers, and protect certificate records.

We do not sell student course records or certificate records.

6. Analytics and Advertising
We may use analytics tools to understand website traffic, user behavior, course usage, and marketing performance.
We may also use advertising or remarketing tools to promote Notary Brand courses and services. These tools may use cookies or similar technologies to show relevant ads or measure advertising effectiveness.

8. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain student accounts, support course access, issue certificates, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, process refunds, maintain records, and operate our business.
Because Notary Brand LLC offers a four-year refund policy for eligible uncompleted courses, we may retain purchase, account, course progress, support ticket, and refund-related records for at least the refund eligibility period and longer where necessary for legal, tax, accounting, compliance, certificate, or dispute-resolution purposes.
Course completion and certificate records may be retained for a longer period to help students verify completion, request support, respond to chargebacks, and maintain compliance records.

No website, platform, or internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for keeping your account password confidential and notifying us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.
10. Your Choices and Account Information
You may access certain account information by logging into your student account.
You may update certain information, such as your password or contact information, if the platform allows it.
However, student names and certificate names are restricted. The name entered during registration is the official account and certificate name and cannot be changed except for a verified legal name change or an approved correction of a minor typographical error.
To request a legal name change, correction, refund, or account support, you must submit a support ticket from inside your student account.
11. California Privacy Rights
California residents may have certain rights regarding personal information.
Depending on the law that applies to Notary Brand LLC at a given time, these rights may include:
- The right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, sell, or share;
- The right to request access to personal information;
- The right to request deletion of personal information, subject to exceptions;
- The right to correct inaccurate personal information;
- The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, if applicable;
- The right to limit the use of sensitive personal information, if applicable;
- The right not to be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.
The California Attorney General explains that the CCPA gives consumers rights to know about personal information collected, request deletion with exceptions, opt out of sale or sharing, and avoid discrimination for exercising rights.
Notary Brand LLC does not knowingly sell student course records, certificate records, or account information.
If we engage in activities that are considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under applicable California law, we will provide required notices and opt-out mechanisms.
To submit a privacy request, contact us using the information below. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.
12. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. There is no uniform industry standard for responding to these signals, and our website may not respond to all Do Not Track signals.
Where required by applicable law, we will honor recognized opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control for applicable sale or sharing choices.
13. Children’s Privacy
Our website and courses are intended for adults.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
