SECURITY &
PRIVACY
SignOnline collects personal information, including name, SSN, address and email,
in order to accurately verify personal identity. By answering these questions,
you will help us prevent identity fraud and better ensure your security. Please
note: this data is not collected or stored for later use. SignOnline uses an automated
process to collect and verify this information in order to minimize the sharing
of this data with individuals, including SignOnline employees. Due to this security
feature, the online collection is the only option for submitting this data to SignOnline. The information is only shared with two parties: 1)
SignOnline's authentication
partner and 2) SignOnline's digital certificate vendor. Because SignOnline only
offers authenticated digital certificates, it is unable to issue certificates
to individuals who choose not to submit personal information.
SignOnline uses various security protocols to protect the transmission and storage
of any data collected from a digital certificate applicant. These measures include
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, proprietary encryption methods and technical
security architectures. The data is first gathered via an SSL connection and then
encrypted via a proprietary encryption model to protect it in transit to SignOnline's
authentication partner, Experian. Any data that is logged by SignOnline is protected
behind firewalls and a technical security architecture that will not allow an
outside user access to the database. SignOnline commits to its users that the
data collected is for authentication purposes only and remains with SignOnline. SignOnline
will not re-sell data collected to third parties or outside vendors.
If you have questions or concerns about SignOnline's security and privacy policies,
