PocketSign.

Privacy, explained

Your documents.
Clear choices.

PocketSign keeps your own PDF work on your device. Online signing is a separate, optional feature that uploads a document only after you confirm.

This page is a plain-language overview, not a replacement for the developer’s privacy policy. The full policy remains at its existing official address.

Your own PDFs stay on-device

Opening, scanning, filling, signing and exporting your own PDFs happen locally on your iPhone or iPad. Documents, saved signatures and app settings are stored on your device. There are no PocketSign accounts or cloud sync.

The camera is used for scanning, and Photos access lets you import an image you choose. Your device handles biometric protection for the signature vault. Export anything you need to keep before deleting local data or deleting the app.

Online requests upload only after confirmation

When you choose to invite others to sign and confirm the upload, the signing service receives the selected PDF, signer names, any email addresses you enter, assigned fields, signing order, an optional message, and the entries recipients add. Request activity is used to show signing progress.

Anyone with a private signing link can open that request. Share links only with the intended recipient, and never send them to support.

You choose the retention period

Choose 7, 30 or 90 days for automatic deletion after a request completes, is canceled or expires. You can delete an online copy sooner from the Requests tab. The hosted PDF, signatures, field values, email addresses and message are removed; a minimal record remains so old links can show that the request no longer exists. The official policy explains the details.

Purchases and service data

Apple processes subscriptions, so PocketSign does not receive your payment details. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID and purchase information to check Pro access—not your documents. The online signing service’s hosting provider may process technical data such as IP addresses and request times to deliver and protect the service.

This website

This is an informational website. It has no document uploads, accounts, payment forms, analytics or tracking scripts. Downloads, support and legal links lead to external services with their own privacy practices. The website host may process standard technical request information to deliver the pages.
