GDPR Compliance & E-Signatures ensures that digital signatures meet the strict data protection and privacy standards set by the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In this article, we will explain what GDPR is, how it applies to electronic signatures, and how SignnTrack ensures your digital signature platform is compliant with these regulations.

What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data privacy law enforced by the European Union that governs how organizations collect, store, and process personal data. The goal of GDPR is to give individuals more control over their personal data and ensure that companies handle that data with respect and care.

  • Personal Data Protection: GDPR provides guidelines for protecting personal information.
  • Transparency: Organizations must be transparent about how they collect and process personal data.
  • Accountability: Organizations must ensure that data is processed lawfully and have measures in place to protect it.

GDPR applies to all companies that process personal data of EU citizens, regardless of where the company is based.

GDPR Compliance in E-Signatures

For e-signatures to be compliant with GDPR, several aspects must be considered:

  • Consent: Obtaining clear and informed consent from individuals before processing their personal data.
  • Data Security: Ensuring that personal data related to e-signatures is stored and transmitted securely.
  • Right to Access: Providing individuals with the ability to access and manage their data.
  • Right to Erasure: Ensuring that personal data can be deleted upon request, in accordance with the GDPR’s "right to be forgotten" provision.
