The helper and your data

DeedTrail Helper is a browser extension published by Current Digital Co. It lets a surveying firm’s DeedTrail dashboard read land-record documents on RECORDhub in the user’s own signed-in browser window. Last updated November 11, 2026.

Where it works

Only on the firm’s DeedTrail dashboard and on recordhub.cottsystems.com. It does nothing on any other site and cannot see your other tabs or your browsing history.

What it reads, and when

• When you press Read on RECORDhub on the dashboard: for each document on that job’s list, it searches RECORDhub’s index by volume and page, reads the matching index row (document type, filing date, party names, description, page count), opens the document in RECORDhub’s viewer and takes a picture of each page shown there.
• When you press Start recording on the helper page: while you buy one copy by hand in the helper’s RECORDhub window, it notes the layout of each page (buttons, links and form fields), what you click, the money amounts shown, and the addresses the page requests without their values. A red bar shows for as long as it records. It stops when you press Stop, after 20 minutes, or when you close the window.
• At no other time does it read anything.

What it never reads or keeps

• Your RECORDhub password or any other password. You sign in yourself.
• Anything you type or pick in a form, hidden form values, cookies, or stored site data.
• Card details. The payment form belongs to the payment company and the helper cannot see inside it.
• In a recording: page text other than control labels and money amounts, and any number of three or more digits in a label.

Where it goes

• What the helper reads goes to the DeedTrail dashboard page that asked for it, and nowhere else. The helper itself contacts no server.
• The dashboard sends the page pictures and index row to the firm’s DeedTrail server, which has them read by an AI model (Claude, from Anthropic) to fill in the job’s pull sheet. The pictures are then dropped: they are not stored. What is kept is the reading (document type, date, parties, references, legal description) on the firm’s job.
• A recording is sent to the firm’s DeedTrail server only when you press Send. It is used to build the feature that buys a copy for you, and for nothing else.
• Nothing is sold, shared with advertisers, or used for anything other than the firm’s own research.

What it keeps in your browser

Which window is the helper’s own, and a recording in progress. Both are cleared when the browser closes.

What it does on RECORDhub

It searches and opens documents one at a time, at the pace a person would, in a window you can watch. It buys nothing and downloads nothing. Using it on a RECORDhub account is the account holder’s decision under RECORDhub’s own terms.

Removing it

Remove the extension from your browser’s extensions page. Nothing is left behind in the browser. To have a firm’s job data removed from DeedTrail, ask the person at your firm who manages DeedTrail, or Current Digital Co at currentdigital.co.
