Ensuring Data Security and Compliance with SignFree: Protecting Your Confidential Documents

· By SignFree Team

When it comes to handling sensitive documents, data security is not optional. Whether you are signing contracts, NDAs, or confidential agreements, your information must be protected at every step. At SignFree, we understand that trust is the foundation of every signature.

Why Data Security Matters

Every document you share contains potentially sensitive information. A single breach can lead to legal exposure, financial loss, and damaged reputation. That is why we built SignFree with security as a core principle, not an afterthought.

Advanced Encryption

SignFree uses industry-standard encryption to protect your documents both in transit and at rest. Your data is encrypted using robust protocols, ensuring that only authorized parties can access your confidential information. Connections use TLS in transit, and documents are stored with encryption at rest.

Simple Electronic Signatures and the Integrity Seal

SignFree provides Simple Electronic Signatures (SES) with a tamper-evident Integrity Seal on completed documents. SES is designed to support technology-neutral e-signature laws (including ESIGN/UETA in the US) and eIDAS SES in the EU/EEA for many commercial contracts. The Integrity Seal is a self-signed cryptographic seal intended to detect post-execution changes; it is not a government or CA identity guarantee and is not a Qualified Electronic Seal.

What we are not

SignFree is not a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP), not a Certification Authority (CA), not a government identity verification service, and not a notarization or legal-advice provider. We do not provide AdES/AES or QES in the standard product. We do not claim SOC 2, ISO 27001, or eIDAS QTSP certification unless separately verified and published.

Compliance with Data Protection Laws

SignFree processes personal data in line with GDPR and related data-protection obligations. Legal sufficiency of any signature for a specific document or jurisdiction remains your responsibility — confirm with counsel when needed.

Complete Audit Trail for Every Document

Every document signed through SignFree maintains a full audit trail. You can see who signed, when they signed, and from where. This transparency supports accountability and helps you meet regulatory and internal compliance requirements.

Our Commitment

We are committed to keeping SignFree aligned with honest product positioning and evolving security practices. Protecting your confidential documents is our priority. With SignFree, you get practical SES security and evidence in a simple, accessible package.
