Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
1. Overview
NoticeRegistry (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the website noticeregistry.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our service, how we use it, and the choices you have.
2. Information We Collect
Usage Data
When you visit NoticeRegistry, we automatically collect standard web analytics data including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, referring URL, and time spent on pages. This is collected via Google Analytics and is used solely to understand how our service is used and to improve it.
Email Subscriptions
If you subscribe to notice alerts, we collect your email address and your chosen alert preferences (state, county, notice type). This information is used only to send you the alerts you requested.
Search Queries
Search terms you enter on our site may be logged for the purpose of improving search relevance and understanding user intent. These logs are not linked to any personally identifiable information.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To operate and improve the NoticeRegistry service
- To send email alerts you have explicitly subscribed to
- To analyze usage patterns and optimize search results
- To detect and prevent abuse or misuse of the service
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
4. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for analytics (Google Analytics) and to remember your preferences. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features of the site may not function correctly without them.
5. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:
- Google Analytics — web analytics and usage tracking
- Turso — database hosting
- Vercel — website hosting and edge delivery
6. Public Notice Content
The notices displayed on NoticeRegistry are public legal notices originally published by courts, government agencies, and newspapers. They are matters of public record. If you believe a notice has been incorrectly displayed or you have a right to request its removal under applicable law, please contact us at contact@noticeregistry.com.
6a. Administrative Technical Service: Search Suppression
We understand that public records can have ongoing personal impact even after a matter is resolved. While we cannot delete public legal notices, we offer a standardized privacy accommodation: for a flat administrative fee of $49, we will apply noindex metadata to the specific notice page, instructing search engines (Google, Bing, etc.) not to display it in results. The notice remains fully accessible on our site as required by law.
This fee covers the administrative and technical labor of processing your request — it is the same flat rate for all requesters regardless of the nature of the notice. We do not charge to suppress factual information; we charge for a professional metadata modification service, consistent with standard data-processing and SEO labor rates.
6b. Service Terms & Limitations
No-Deletion Clause
State laws (e.g., FL Stat. § 50.0211) require public notices to remain in a searchable archive for a minimum period of 18–24 months. This service does not delete the legal record. The notice page remains live on our site and accessible via our internal search.
Technical Scope Clause
This service applies noindex metadata to your notice page. We do not control Google’s crawl frequency, cached results, or third-party data scrapers that may have already indexed the page. This fee covers the application of metadata only — it does not include manual submissions to any search engine’s removal tools or any guarantee of de-indexing within a specific timeframe.
State Privacy Rights Clause
For residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws (including California’s CCPA / Delete Act and Texas’s TDPSA), this service acts as a manual execution of your right to limit the sharing of personal data for search engine indexing purposes. NoticeRegistry operates as a publisher of public records, not a data broker; public legal notices are a recognized exemption under CCPA.
Resolution Requirement Clause
We offer this accommodation for matters that have been legally resolved (dismissed, satisfied, or closed). We reserve the right to request proof of resolution and to decline requests where the underlying matter remains active or where suppression would conflict with the public interest.
6c. State-Specific Notes
| State | Relevant Law | Our Position |
|---|---|---|
| California | CCPA / Delete Act (2026) | We are a publisher of public records, not a data broker. Public legal notices are a statutory exemption under CCPA. This service may satisfy a voluntary opt-out of search engine indexing. |
| Florida | FL Stat. § 50.0211 (18-month archive) | Our internal site search continues to index the notice, satisfying the “searchable” requirement. Only external search engine indexing is suppressed. |
| Texas | TDPSA (eff. July 2024) | Publisher exemption applies. This service may satisfy a TDPSA opt-out of search engine data sharing. The notice remains in our searchable archive as required by TX public notice statutes. |
| New York | NY Public Officers Law / transparency standards | The record remains on-site satisfying public transparency requirements. Suppression only affects external search engine indexing, not on-site accessibility. |
| New Jersey | NJDPA (eff. Jan 2025) | Publisher exemption applies under NJDPA. NJ public notice statutes require the record remain accessible on-site, which it does. Suppression applies to external search engines only. |
| Illinois | IL public notice statutes | Illinois has no comprehensive consumer privacy law applicable here. Public notices must remain in a searchable archive; our internal search satisfies this requirement. |
| Pennsylvania | PA public notice statutes | Pennsylvania has no comprehensive consumer privacy law applicable here. The notice remains accessible on-site and via internal search as required. |
| Ohio | OH public notice statutes | Ohio has no comprehensive consumer privacy law applicable here. The notice remains accessible on-site and via internal search as required. |
| Georgia | GA public notice statutes | Georgia has no comprehensive consumer privacy law applicable here. The notice remains accessible on-site and via internal search as required. |
| Washington | WA My Health MY Data Act (health data only) | Washington’s health data law does not apply to public legal notices. No comprehensive consumer privacy law covers this service in WA. The notice remains accessible on-site as required. |
To submit a request, visit our Search Engine Suppression page. You will need the URL of the notice and a valid email address for your payment receipt. Requests are processed automatically after payment.
7. Data Retention
