Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2025

Big E Notary ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at www.bigenotary.com and provides mobile and remote online notary services in Fort Worth, Texas. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

By using our website or contacting us, you agree to the practices described in this policy.


1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information only when you voluntarily provide it to us. This may include:

  • Contact and inquiry information: your name, phone number, email address, and company name when you fill out a contact or inquiry form.
  • Newsletter sign-up information: your name, phone number, email address, and company name when you subscribe to The Howdy newsletter.
  • Booking information: information you provide when scheduling an appointment through our booking partner, CloseWise. That information is subject to CloseWise's own privacy policy.

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as Social Security numbers, government ID numbers, or financial account details through this website.


2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide solely to:

  • Respond to your questions and inquiries.
  • Confirm and manage your notary appointments.
  • Send you The Howdy newsletter, if you subscribed — typically once per week.
  • Communicate with you about your signing or service request.

We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling.


3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes — ever.

We may share your information only in limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: We may share necessary details with our booking platform (CloseWise) to fulfill your appointment. These partners are required to keep your information confidential and use it only to provide services on our behalf.
  • Legal requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or a government authority.

4. Data Retention

We keep your contact information only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry or to maintain your newsletter subscription. If you unsubscribe from The Howdy or ask us to remove your information, we will do so promptly.


5. Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are most popular). These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may work differently as a result.


6. Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.


7. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.


8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
  • Ask us to delete your information.
  • Opt out of The Howdy newsletter at any time by replying "unsubscribe" or contacting us directly.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below.


9. Links to Other Sites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites (such as CloseWise, Google, or social media platforms). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies.


10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
