Privacy policy
The short version
- Your documents and signatures are processed inside your browser. They are never transmitted to SignPrivate or to anyone else by this site.
- SignPrivate has no accounts and keeps no database of users.
- The only data stored is in your own browser, at your choice, and you can delete it at any time.
- Our hosting provider and, where enabled, our advertising partner process the technical data described below.
Your documents
When you open a PDF or image on SignPrivate, the file is read by JavaScript running in your browser tab. Rendering, placing the signature and building the signed PDF all happen on your device. No part of the document, the signature or the resulting file is sent over the network. When you close the tab, the data is released from memory. You can verify this by using the tool with your internet connection switched off.
Data stored in your browser
If you tick "Remember on this device" when creating a signature, the signature image is saved in your browser's local storage so you do not have to draw it again. It is stored only on that device and browser profile, is never transmitted, and is removed when you choose "forget" in the tool or clear your browser's site data. The tool may also store small preferences such as the last selected signature tab.
After your first visit, your browser caches the site's files so it can work offline. This cache contains the application only, never your documents.
Hosting
SignPrivate is served as static files by Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare receives the technical data needed to deliver a page: your IP address, the page requested, browser type and the time of the request. Cloudflare processes this to serve the site and protect it from abuse, under Cloudflare's privacy policy. We do not combine this data with anything else and we cannot identify you from it.
Analytics
If analytics are enabled, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless, does not fingerprint devices and reports only aggregate page views and performance metrics. It does not track you across sites.
Advertising
To keep the tool free, pages may show one advertisement served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar identifiers to serve ads and measure their performance. Where required by law, including in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, you will see a consent request before any advertising cookies are set, and you can choose non-personalised ads or decline. How Google uses data from sites that show its ads is described at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can control personalised advertising at adssettings.google.com. Advertising scripts never have access to the document you are signing, because it is never transmitted.
Affiliate links
Some links to third-party e-signature services are affiliate links, marked as such. If you follow one and buy a subscription, SignPrivate may receive a commission. We share no data with these partners; the link itself only tells them that you arrived from this site. Their own privacy policies apply once you are on their pages.
Children
The site is not directed at children under 16 and knowingly collects no information from them.
Your rights
Because SignPrivate holds no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to access, correct, export or erase. For data processed by Cloudflare or Google, their policies linked above explain how to exercise your rights. If you have questions about this policy, write to support@signprivate.com.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is published here with a new effective date. Material changes, such as adding a new third party, will be announced on the home page for at least 30 days.
