This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, protected, and disclosed when you visit our website, contact our office, schedule an appointment, or use our services.

3. Live Scan and Fingerprinting Information
When providing California Live Scan fingerprinting services, RM Live Scan & Notary Services acts as a fingerprinting service provider/operator.
Fingerprint information and applicant information required for a Live Scan transaction may be electronically transmitted through the authorized Live Scan system to the California Department of Justice and, when applicable, the Federal Bureau of Investigation or other authorized agencies.
RM Live Scan & Notary Services does not determine the results of a background check and does not receive or control the criminal history results sent to the requesting agency, except where specifically authorized by applicable law or program requirements.
California DOJ explains that the Live Scan operator verifies identification, enters applicant descriptor information, electronically captures fingerprints and transmits the information to DOJ.
4. How We Use Information
Information may be used to:
- Schedule and manage appointments.
- Provide requested Live Scan, fingerprinting, notary, or related services.

- Comply with applicable federal, state, or local requirements.
5. Fingerprint and Sensitive Information
We recognize that fingerprinting transactions involve sensitive personal information.
We take reasonable administrative and operational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or misuse.
Applicants should avoid sending Social Security numbers, dates of birth, fingerprint records, or other sensitive identification information through ordinary email or website contact forms unless specifically instructed through an appropriate secure process.
California DOJ similarly cautions against transmitting personally identifying applicant information through ordinary email communications.
6. Notary Services

Certain information may be recorded or retained when required by law. Information required to be maintained as part of an official notarial record is handled according to applicable legal recordkeeping requirements.
7. Payments
Payments may be processed through third-party payment processors.
RM Live Scan & Notary Services does not necessarily receive or store complete credit or debit card numbers when payments are processed by an independent payment processor.
Payment processors maintain their own privacy and security practices, and users should review the applicable processor’s privacy policy when providing payment information.

Different categories of information may have different retention periods.

However, no website, electronic transmission, storage system, or Internet communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should therefore avoid transmitting unnecessary sensitive information through unsecured electronic communications.
