Privacy Policy

INTRODUCTION

Protection of your personal information is an important topic and we do take it very seriously. However, we also know that many privacy policies can be difficult to read. So, we have tried to make our policy as easy to read as possible. To show that, here is the simplest and shortest summary of our policy.

You give The Document Registry personal information so that we can provide you documents for a condo, strata or HOA. Your information is shared with the document's owner or their agent. We don't sell or use your information for any other purpose. We use cloud computing and cookies to run our business. We take many steps to protect your info. We will tell you if something goes terribly wrong.
