Privacy & data protection

SignCloud is an electronic signature service. This notice explains what data is processed when you use the service, and for what purposes.

Data processed

  • Documents. The PDF files you upload for signature are kept for as long as needed for signing and evidence retention.
  • Signers. Name and contact details (email and/or phone) provided to send the document and the verification code.
  • Signature evidence. Timestamp, IP address at signing time, channel and recipient of the verification code, SHA-256 fingerprint of the sealed document.

Purposes & legal basis

This data is processed to perform the requested signature service (contractual basis) and to maintain the technical record associated with the transaction (legitimate interest, where applicable).

Retention

For each finalised document, the customer selects a 10, 20 or 50-year retention policy according to its purpose and legal basis. A separate integrity-controlled package is deposited in external storage. This service is not represented as a certified electronic archiving system, and expiry handling remains subject to contractual, statutory and legal-hold requirements. No data is sold to third parties for commercial purposes.

Hosting & subprocessors

The current deployment documentation identifies primary hosting in France and encrypted off-site backups in Germany. These locations and contractual safeguards must be confirmed against the active production contracts. We rely on subprocessors for specific functions, which only access the data needed for their task:

  • Stripe — online payments and identity verification (KYC).
  • OpenAI — AI-assisted contract drafting (only when you use it).
  • Hetzner — encrypted off-site backups (European Union).
  • SMS / email gateway — sending verification codes and notifications.

Legal framework

The service records technical evidence designed for electronic-signature workflows and implements personal-data protection measures. The legal qualification of each signature level and the privacy documentation must be reviewed against the production configuration and the customer's use case.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify and erase your data. To exercise it, contact the organization that sent you the document via SignCloud.

For a SignCloud customer account, the deletion process is available on the dedicated account deletion page.
