Privacy Policy

Who we are

Singapore Notary (singaporenotary.com.sg) is a directory of every Notary Public and Commissioner for Oaths registered with the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL). It's free to use and run by Digitize Consulting Pte. Ltd. Firms can claim their listing for free. Some firms pay for a Featured partner or Sponsored listing, which places them higher on our list pages, and these are always labelled.

What data we collect

We collect information in three ways:

• Contact forms and quote requests. When you submit a form on our site we collect the information you provide: your name, email address, phone number (if given), and the content of your message or quote details. These are stored in our database and, where applicable, forwarded to the relevant practitioner so they can respond to your enquiry.
• Anonymous usage data. We record page views, firm detail views, and interaction events (such as clicking "Show contact") to understand how the site is used and improve it. Each visit is assigned a random session identifier stored in your browser's session storage. We don't store your IP address, set cookies for visitors, or use advertising trackers. We also use Vercel Web Analytics, which counts visits without cookies.
• Firm accounts. If you claim a listing for your firm, we store your name, role and work email, how your claim was checked, and the details you add to your listing. Signing in to your listing sets one cookie that keeps you signed in. If your firm pays for a listing, Stripe handles the payment and we never see your card details.

How we use your data

• To respond to your enquiry or connect you with a notary or Commissioner for Oaths.
• To operate, maintain, and improve the directory and fee estimator.
• To produce aggregate, non-identifying statistics (e.g. most-visited pages, popular search filters).
• If you manage a listing, to email you sign-in links, notices about your account, and a monthly summary of how many people contacted you. You can unsubscribe from the monthly summary at any time.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Who we share data with

• JCP Law LLC (our featured partner) receives contact-form and quote-request submissions where the enquiry relates to notarial or Commissioner for Oaths services.
• Supabase (our database provider) hosts the data. Their servers are located in Singapore. Supabase's own privacy policy applies to their infrastructure.
• Resend (our email delivery provider) processes outbound emails sent when you submit a contact form.
• Vercel (our hosting provider) serves the site and runs our serverless functions.
• Stripe processes payments for paid listings.
• Twilio places the automated call that checks a listing claim. It calls the number on the firm's SAL listing and reads out a code.

Data retention

Contact-form submissions and quote leads are retained indefinitely unless you request deletion. Anonymous usage data (page views and events) does not contain personal information and is retained for analytical purposes.

Your rights under the PDPA

Under Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Request withdrawal of consent and deletion of your data.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the form on our contact page.

Cookies and tracking

We don't set cookies for visitors, and we don't use Google Analytics or advertising trackers. We use browser session storage for an anonymous session identifier, which is cleared when you close your browser tab, and Vercel Web Analytics, which counts visits without cookies. If you sign in to manage a firm's listing, we set one cookie that keeps you signed in.

Third-party directory data

The practitioner information displayed on this site (names, firm addresses, contact numbers, languages spoken) comes from official public registration records. We do not independently verify this data. If you are a listed practitioner, you can claim your listing for free to correct your details (see our listing terms). To remove your information, please get in touch.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
