4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

4.1 With Your Consent

When you send documents for signature, we share the necessary information with the recipients you specify. We may also share your information with third parties when you explicitly consent to such sharing, such as when integrating with third-party applications or services.

4.2 Service Providers

We engage trusted third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting services, data storage, payment processing, email delivery, customer support, analytics, and marketing services. These service providers have access to your information only as necessary to perform their functions and are obligated to protect the confidentiality and security of your information.

4.3 Business Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, bankruptcy, or other business transaction, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your information.

4.4 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order, subpoena, or government investigation). We may also disclose your information when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or the public, or to prevent or stop activity we consider to be illegal or unethical.

4.5 Aggregated and Anonymized Data

We may share aggregated or anonymized information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you. For example, we may share statistics about document signing trends, usage patterns, or industry benchmarks with partners, investors, or the public.

5. Data Security

We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our security practices include:

Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard TLS 1.3 protocol. Data at rest is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption. All document uploads and downloads are encrypted end-to-end to ensure your sensitive information remains private.

Access Controls: We implement strict access controls and authentication mechanisms to limit access to your information. Access is granted on a need-to-know basis and is regularly reviewed and audited. All employees with access to user data undergo background checks and security training.

Infrastructure Security: Our infrastructure is hosted in secure, SOC 2 Type II certified data centers with 24/7 monitoring, redundant systems, and multiple layers of physical and network security. We regularly perform security audits, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing to identify and address potential security risks.

Incident Response: We maintain an incident response plan to quickly detect, respond to, and recover from security incidents. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you promptly in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Compliance Certifications: OleSign maintains compliance with industry standards and regulations, including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA. We undergo regular third-party audits to verify our compliance with these standards.

While we implement robust security measures, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to protecting your information using industry best practices and continuously improving our security posture.

6. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. The retention period depends on the type of information and the purposes for which it is used:

Account Information: We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you close your account, we will delete or anonymize your account information within 90 days, except where we need to retain it for legal, regulatory, or business purposes.

Document Content: Active documents are retained for as long as needed to provide the Services. When you delete a document, it is marked for deletion and removed from active storage within 30 days. Backup copies are purged within 90 days. For compliance and legal purposes, we may retain certain document metadata (such as who signed a document and when) for up to 7 years after account closure.

Communication Records: Customer support communications, transaction records, and other business records are retained for up to 7 years to comply with legal requirements and resolve disputes.

Analytics and Log Data: Usage data, analytics, and log files are typically retained for 12-24 months for operational purposes and security monitoring. Aggregated and anonymized analytics may be retained indefinitely.

These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country.

We use appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, to ensure your data is protected when transferred internationally.

If you believe we have collected information from a child under 16, please contact us at privacy@olesign.net.

10. Anti-Spam Policy

OleSign is committed to preventing spam and maintaining a positive communication environment. Our anti-spam practices include:

10.1 Consent-Based Communications

We only send marketing emails to users who have explicitly consented to receive them. When you create an account, you can choose whether to receive marketing communications. We never purchase email lists or send unsolicited bulk emails. All marketing emails include a clear and easy way to unsubscribe.

10.2 Document Notification Controls

When you send documents through OleSign, notifications are sent to recipients on your behalf. These are transactional emails necessary for the service to function and are not considered marketing communications. However, you are responsible for ensuring you have the right to contact your recipients and must comply with applicable anti-spam laws, including CAN-SPAM Act, CASL, and GDPR.

10.3 Rate Limiting and Monitoring

We implement rate limiting and monitoring systems to detect and prevent spam and abuse of our Services. Accounts that send excessive or suspicious volumes of documents may be flagged for review. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate our Terms of Service or use our platform for spam, phishing, or other malicious purposes.

10.4 Reporting Spam

If you receive spam or suspicious communications claiming to be from OleSign, please report it to abuse@olesign.net. We take reports seriously and investigate all claims of spam or abuse. If you received a legitimate document notification from OleSign but do not wish to receive future communications from that sender, you can contact the sender directly to request removal from their contact list.

10.5 Compliance Requirements

Users of OleSign must comply with all applicable anti-spam laws and regulations, including:

  • CAN-SPAM Act (United States): Includes requirements for commercial messages, including having a valid physical postal address, providing an easy opt-out mechanism, and honoring opt-out requests promptly.
  • CASL (Canada): Requires express or implied consent before sending commercial electronic messages, and includes strict rules about identification and unsubscribe mechanisms.
  • GDPR (European Union): Requires explicit consent for marketing communications and provides individuals with rights to access, delete, and port their data.
  • Australian Spam Act: Prohibits sending unsolicited commercial electronic messages and requires consent and an unsubscribe facility.

Violation of these laws or our anti-spam policy may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account, and we may report violations to appropriate authorities.
