Privacy, records & your rights

How the registry collects, uses, and retains personal data for inheritance matters—and how to request corrections or restricted handling.

Overview

Estate files contain highly sensitive information. Access is logged and limited to roles that demonstrate a legitimate need.

See the site privacy policy for jurisdiction-specific rights and contact details for the data protection office.

The registry does not sell case data. Sharing with courts, tax authorities, or counterparties occurs only as law or your filings require.
