Our services require you to upload PDF documents. When using signpdf.fit, you also provide signature images. We process these files solely to deliver the requested service (e.g., adding a visual signature overlay to your PDF).

Important: signpdf.fit provides a visual signature overlay feature. This adds an image of your signature to a PDF document. It does not provide legally certified digital signatures, cryptographic signing, or guarantee legal validity in any jurisdiction.

5. File Handling, Retention & Deletion

We take data minimization seriously. Here is how we handle your files:

• No Manual Access: Your files are processed automatically. Our staff do not access, view, or review your uploaded content except when required to troubleshoot technical issues you report.

We recommend downloading your processed PDF promptly after generation, as files will become unavailable after the retention period.
