# Privacy Policy

## Data Collection and Usage

The Open Signature Generator is designed with transparency and privacy in mind. We collect the minimum possible data necessary for operation

- You are the only person who handles your important documents. It is impossible to upload them to this website.
- Signature images are cached temporarily, but are otherwise generated on-demand and not kept.
- No tracking, analytics, or cookies are used.
- Until you hit the 'Go!' button, zero information is collected or stored.
- You can see exactly how this website works by viewing the source code at the link on the main page.

## What is Collected

The following information is collected and stored on the server to allow for signature generation and verification:

- Your last used signature name and font are stored in your browser's local storage so you do not need to re-enter them. These are not sent to the server until you hit the 'Go!' button.
- When you generate a signature by clicking the 'Go!' button, your browser submits your signature name, selected font, timezone, and selected color scheme.
- Publically available information about an IP address is retrieved when a signature is created and stored in a database. This is later displayed on the signature verification page.

## Information Sharing

We will never sell, trade, transfer, or share your information with any third parties under any circumstances. Your information remains strictly confidential.

- Cloudflare is used to cache static website content so that the site is faster and can be used by more people. Cloudflare can not access any of your signature data.

## Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

- The database is not internet accessible, and entries cannot be changed.
- Verification page is only accessible through a high-entropy URL which is unique to your signature.
- To preserve your signature verification pages, redundant storage and backups minimize risk of data loss.
