Yes! SendTurtle’s digital signatures are legally recognized under major regulations such as the U.S. ESIGN Act and the EU eIDAS regulation. They use strong cryptography to verify the signer’s identity and ensure that any changes made after signing are detectable. This establishes the document’s authenticity and integrity, making digital signatures generally equivalent to handwritten signatures in most jurisdictions.
To further strengthen trust and compliance, each signed document includes a cryptographic audit log:
Cryptographic Hash (SHA-256): A unique fingerprint of the document at signing. Any tampering makes the fingerprint invalid.
Comprehensive Audit Trail: Time-stamped records of when the document was viewed, signed, and completed, along with the signer’s identity details (email, IP address, session ID, device/browser).
Non-repudiation: Because signer identity and actions are cryptographically bound to the document, the signer cannot later deny their signature.
This combination of legal recognition and verifiable cryptographic evidence ensures that SendTurtle’s signed documents are both legally defensible and tamper-proof.
