Privacy Policy

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
• PostgreSQL / Neon — 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.

7. Data Retention

Email subscription data is retained until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained in accordance with Google Analytics’ standard retention policies. Public notice records are retained indefinitely as part of the searchable archive.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. To make such a request, contact us at contact@noticeregistry.com.

To unsubscribe from email alerts, use the unsubscribe link included in every alert email.

9. European Users & GDPR

NoticeRegistry is operated from Stockholm, Sweden, which is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access — you may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification — you may request correction of inaccurate personal data.
• Right to erasure — you may request deletion of your account and associated data. Note: public notice content displayed on the platform is public record and is not subject to erasure requests.
• Right to restrict processing — you may request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
• Right to data portability — you may request your data in a machine-readable format.
• Right to object — you may object to processing based on legitimate interests.

Lawful basis for processing: We process your data on the basis of (a) contract performance — to deliver the alert and subscription services you sign up for; (b) legitimate interests — to operate, improve, and secure the platform; and (c) consent — for analytics cookies where required.

Data transfers: Your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States (Vercel infrastructure). These transfers are conducted under standard contractual clauses (SCCs) as provided by Vercel's data processing agreements, which comply with GDPR requirements for international data transfers.

To exercise any of these rights, or to file a complaint, contact us at contact@noticeregistry.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority — in Sweden, this is Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY) at imy.se.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
