Our website address is: pacsigning.com.
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: automattic.com/privacy. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
At PacSigning, your privacy is very important to us. We collect only the information we need to provide you with reliable notary, apostille, and document services. We never sell your data to third parties. If you ever have questions about how your information is used, you can contact our friendly team at info@pacsigning.com or call +1 (971) 394-4152. We’re always happy to explain.
We take several steps to keep your personal information safe:
In short, we treat your data with the same care and respect as we do our own.
While we work hard to prevent any security issues, we also have a plan in case something unexpected happens:
Your trust matters to us, and transparency is part of that.
Currently, we only collect information that you provide directly to us through our website, forms, or appointments. We do not buy or gather information from outside sources. If in the future we work with trusted partners (for example, for identity verification or compliance purposes), we will clearly update our policy to let you know.
We don’t use automated systems or algorithms to make decisions about you. Every service request from notarizations to apostilles is carefully handled by a real person. This means your documents and personal information are always reviewed by trained professionals who make decisions with care.
Because we provide services like notary, apostille, and fingerprinting, we may sometimes be legally required to share certain information with government agencies or courts. This only happens if it’s required by law. For example, in some cases we may need to confirm your identity for official purposes.
When these situations arise, we will always handle your data responsibly and in line with the law.
