Notaries in many states have specific data-handling rules for appointment records. Online notarization has added layered requirements in states that permit it.
Why notaries need scheduling privacy specifically
Notaries handle data with distinct confidentiality expectations — notary public rules. Client trust in the profession is built on absolute discretion, and every data leak (even metadata) chips away at that trust.
What to set up
A privacy-first scheduling tool keeps your booking records tight, handles DSRs quickly, and doesn't leak the fact that you're running a notary business to ad-tech.
The Cal Clear configuration
A Cal Clear booking link for high-privacy professions: use the Pro plan for private (non-indexed) links, enable email verification to block impersonators, set auto-delete to 30 days, disable any public directory listing, and use reCAPTCHA on public-facing links.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a standard scheduling tool safe for notaries?
Tools like Calendly and Acuity load third-party analytics on booking pages, which leaks metadata about who your clients are. For notaries with strict confidentiality obligations, a privacy-first tool is meaningfully better.
Does Cal Clear sign a BAA / DPA for notaries?
Cal Clear signs standard DPAs with all business customers. HIPAA BAAs are available for enterprise healthcare customers — contact support to discuss.
