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.
