Privacy Policy & Data Protection

• Account information: name, email address, phone number, and the password or sign-in method you use.
• Application information: the information you provide on the bond application and indemnitor forms, which may include date of birth, Social Security number, driver's license number, address history, employment, vehicle, references, relatives, charges, bond amount, and financial or collateral details.
• Identification documents: photographs of government-issued ID for the defendant and each co-signer.
• Electronic signatures: your drawn signature image, printed name, the date and time of signing, your IP address, and your device/browser description.
• Location information: when a defendant performs a required check-in, we record the device's location coordinates, accuracy, and timestamp at that moment.
• Case and payment records: court dates, power numbers, bond amounts, premium and payment plan history, and payment receipts.
• Usage and security logs: sign-in events, IP address, device information, and an audit trail of changes made to case records.

• To evaluate, write, service, and, if necessary, enforce or surrender a bail bond.
• To verify identity and prevent fraud.
• To track court dates, check-ins, and compliance with bond conditions.
• To collect premium and administer payment plans.
• To send reminders and notifications about court dates, check-ins, and payments.
• To maintain records required by our surety, by insurers, and by South Carolina law.
• To secure the Service, investigate misuse, and maintain an audit trail.

Location sharing is a condition of release imposed under the bond agreement, not an optional website feature. When a defendant submits a check-in, the browser asks permission to share the device's location, and we store those coordinates with the check-in. We use location only to confirm compliance with bond conditions and to locate a defendant if the bond is at risk of forfeiture. We do not track location continuously in the background, and we do not sell location data. Declining or disabling location may be treated as a missed check-in and may result in the bond being surrendered.

By providing a mobile number you consent to receive service-related text messages and emails about court dates, check-ins, payments, and case status. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. You may opt out of non-essential reminders in your notification settings or by replying STOP to a text message. We may still contact you about legally required or bond-critical matters. We do not sell your phone number or use it for third-party marketing.

By signing electronically you agree that your electronic signature has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature and that we may keep and produce electronic records of your signed documents. We retain the signature image together with your name, timestamp, IP address, and device information as evidence of signing, and we print that information on the generated bond packet. You may request a paper copy of any document you signed electronically.

We share information only as needed to run the bonding business, including with:

• Our surety company and its authorized representatives.
• Courts, jails, clerks of court, law enforcement, and licensing authorities.
• Recovery agents engaged when a bond is at risk of forfeiture or has been forfeited.
• Service providers who host our systems, deliver messages, or process payments, under contract.
• Attorneys, accountants, and auditors, and where required by subpoena, court order, or law.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for third-party advertising.

Bail bonding is inherently a shared obligation. A co-signer's name and signature appear on the bond documents for the case they indemnify, and a defendant's compliance information (court dates, check-ins, payments, and re-arrest notices) may be shared with the co-signers on that bond. Parties on a case can see only that case; they cannot see other clients' records.

• Accounts are protected by password or provider sign-in, and staff accounts can enable an additional verification step.
• Access is limited by role, so each person sees only the records their role and case assignment allow.
• Identification photos, signed documents, collateral files, and reports are kept in private storage and are opened only through short-lived, access-checked links.
• Changes to sensitive records are written to an audit trail that records who made the change and when.
• Traffic to the site is encrypted in transit.

No system can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure. Please use a strong, unique password, do not share your account, and tell us right away if you believe your account has been accessed by someone else.

We keep bond files, applications, signed documents, payment records, and check-in history for as long as the bond is open and afterward for the period required by our surety, our insurers, and South Carolina record-keeping requirements. Records tied to a forfeiture, judgment, or unpaid balance are kept until the matter is fully resolved.

• You may ask us to review or correct the personal information in your file.
• You may adjust reminder preferences in your notification settings.
• You may request a copy of documents you signed.
• You may ask us to delete information, but we cannot delete records we are required to keep for an open bond, a legal obligation, or a pending balance.

The Service is not intended for anyone under 18. If a defendant is a minor, a parent or legal guardian must provide and sign for the required information.

If you believe you have found a security weakness in this site or portal, contact us at (864) 704-7118 before sharing it publicly. Please do not access, alter, or download anyone else's records while testing. We will review reports in good faith and will not pursue action against reports made responsibly and without harming client data.

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date above shows when it was last revised. Continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised policy.
