What NotaryWorth collects
A current, processor-by-processor record of what stays here, what leaves, and the boundaries around your work.
Current collection state
Current status: visitor statistics, product analytics and error monitoring are on
This build sends anonymous visitor statistics, the limited product measurements described below and error reports, and no other measurement described below.
No account is required, and NotaryWorth keeps nothing that identifies your customers
Every calculator works without signing in. Your pricing setup and your saved quotes are saved on your own device. If you choose to create an account, a copy is backed up, as described below.
Never collected, in any circumstance
- Your customer’s or signer’s name
- Your customer’s or signer’s phone number or email address
- Dates of birth or identification numbers
- Document contents, document types or images
- Free-text notes of any kind
This is not a promise to filter these out — the application never asks for them, so there is nothing to filter. No address is needed to calculate anything: you can type the mileage and drive time yourself, or look them up from two locations, as described below.
Recent quotes are saved on this device
When you price a job or check an offer, NotaryWorth keeps a copy of what you entered and what it recommended, so you can look it up later. It records the appointment’s details and figures — distance and drive time, the number of signers and notarial acts, the kind of location, any offer you were given, your costs and the resulting quote — but never who the customer or signer is, and never an address. You can delete any single quote, or clear the whole history, at any time.
Clearing this device. You can remove everything NotaryWorth has saved here — your pricing setup and any recent quotes — at any time. It takes effect immediately and cannot be undone on this device. Clearing your browser’s site data for this site removes the same things and the sign-in cookie, but it does not end the session on NotaryWorth’s side, as the button below does.
If this browser is signed in to an account, clearing it also signs it out. No account’s backup is changed.
Hosting
Every website is served by a host. NotaryWorth’s is Vercel, and this is what that involves — whether or not you have an account.
What reaching this site involves
To send you a page, a host has to receive the request your browser makes for it, and that request carries your network address. That is how the web works, here as anywhere else. NotaryWorth adds nothing of its own to it: your figures, your saved quotes and your pricing setup stay in this browser, and page addresses here never contain anything you typed.
Vercel keeps its own records of serving this site, and on NotaryWorth’s plan the runtime logs for this project are kept for 1 day. What those records contain is Vercel’s to describe, under Vercel’s terms; NotaryWorth neither adds to them nor uses them for measurement.
Processor: Vercel, which hosts this site.
If you look up a location
Optional, on Price This Job and Check This Offer. You can always type the mileage and drive time yourself instead.
What happens to what you type
When you ask NotaryWorth to find a starting or appointment location, what you typed — a street address, a city or a ZIP code — goes to NotaryWorth’s server, which asks Google Maps Platform to find the place. When you ask for the drive, only the two places’ map coordinates are sent, and Google works out the distance and drive time. Your browser never contacts Google directly.
NotaryWorth keeps none of it. What you typed and the places found are not saved with your quote or stored anywhere on this device, not stored on NotaryWorth’s servers, not put into any web address, and never sent to visitor statistics, product analytics or error monitoring. A quote you save keeps only the miles and minutes.
Google receives each of these requests and keeps its own records of them under Google’s terms; NotaryWorth does not control how long. To stop runaway use, NotaryWorth’s server keeps a short-lived count of lookups for each network address, in memory only.
Processor: Google Maps Platform.
If you create an account
Optional, and only after you choose to sign in. Without an account, nothing below applies to you.
What an account keeps
- Your email address, which identifies your account and is where your sign-in codes are sent — it is used for nothing else
- A copy of your pricing setup, and the setup it replaced the last time it changed; the replaced one is included when you download your account data
- Copies of your saved quotes, up to 200 — the same appointment details and figures saved on your device, never who the customer or signer is
- Records of deleted quotes and of “Clear all” requests — ids, times and counts, never quote contents — so your other devices stay in step
- Your sign-in sessions, and a sign-in cookie that keeps your browser signed in — used only for your account, never for measurement
Account data is stored by Neon, NotaryWorth’s database provider. Sign-in codes are emailed through Resend. Account requests reach NotaryWorth through its host, Vercel, on the terms described under “Hosting” above. None of it is sent to visitor statistics, product analytics or error monitoring.
Sign-in codes work once and expire after 10 minutes, and a new code is needed after five wrong tries. No password is ever set. A session lasts 30 days and renews while you keep using NotaryWorth. From the Account page you can sign out on this device, or on every device at once.
Deleting a saved quote on a device backed up to your account sends that deletion to the account the next time the device backs up while signed in — usually within seconds while NotaryWorth is open and online. “Clear all” there removes every saved quote the account holds when the account processes the request — including quotes saved on your other devices before then — and keeps quotes that reach the account afterwards.
Clearing this device, above, removes what NotaryWorth saved in this browser and signs this browser out; it deletes nothing from your account. Signing out ends a session and keeps your account and its backup. Deleting your account, from the Account page — which may ask you to sign in again first — removes your email address, your sessions and everything the account holds.
A device you sign in on also keeps a small record: which account it backs up to, with the email address partly hidden (such as j***@e***.com), fingerprints of what it has backed up, and deletions still waiting to be sent. Clearing this device removes that record too.
To slow down repeated attempts, NotaryWorth counts sign-in requests for each network address, and backup requests for each account. Each count is filed under a scrambled form of the address or the account’s identifier — never the address or identifier itself — and ends once 10 minutes pass without another counted request. A sign-in count is not connected to any account. Stored counts older than that are deleted whenever a later request is checked.
From the Account page you can download your email address, your pricing setup and the setup it replaced, and your saved quotes. The download does not include deletion records, “Clear all” records or session records.
Deleting an account removes it from NotaryWorth’s database straight away; an unused sign-in code, filed under a scrambled form of the address, remains until it expires, and scrambled request counts remain until they are deleted as described above. For a limited time, records can also remain with providers: Neon’s restore history keeps changes for up to 6 hours, and Resend keeps sign-in emails, including the address and the code, for 30 days, with its backups kept for 7 days. Requests to NotaryWorth reach its host as every request to any website does, which is described under “Hosting” above. Anything saved on a device stays there until it is cleared.
Visitor statistics
How many people reached the site, and roughly where from. It counts arrivals, not what you do once you are here.
What is measured
- That a page was viewed, and which page it was
- The site that linked you here, if any
- Approximate location derived from your connection — country, region and city
- Device type, operating system and browser
No cookie is set and nothing is stored on your device for this. Visits are counted using a value derived from the request itself, which is discarded after 24 hours — so visits can be told apart within a day, and not across one.
It records the page address. On NotaryWorth that address can never contain anything you typed: every page here is a fixed path with no query string, and your figures stay in the form and in this device’s storage. Your quotes, your saved history and your economic setup are not part of this and are never sent to visitor statistics.
Processor: Vercel Web Analytics, which also hosts this site.
Product analytics
Used to answer one question: is this tool actually useful? It measures the shape of a workflow, never its contents.
What is measured
- Which of the three workflows you started and finished
- Whether a quote was copied or shared
- Whether you opened the Florida rule explanation
- Coarse ranges — for example “26-50 miles” or “76-100” — never the actual figures
- The Florida rule version and engine versions that produced a result
Amounts are only ever recorded as ranges. A $92 quote is recorded as “76-100”, and an offer of $60 as “50-75”. The real numbers are never sent to product analytics.
There is no profile, no identifier that follows you between visits, and no cookie set for measurement. That means we cannot tell whether two visits came from the same person — a deliberate trade, and the reason our own usage figures understate repeat use.
Processor: PostHog.
Error monitoring
A separate, narrower thing: if the application breaks, we need to know, or it stays broken.
What an error report contains
- The error message and the code path it came from
- The page path where it happened — never the query string
- The application version that was running
Error reports carry no IP address, no user identifier, no form contents and no request body. Reports are stripped before they leave your browser, not after they arrive.
Processor: Sentry.
