Audit Trails & Certificates

Every action taken on a document is logged in a detailed audit trail. This includes:

• When the document was uploaded
• When signature fields were placed
• When the document was sent for signatures
• When each signer viewed, signed, or declined
• IP addresses and browser information for each action
• Timestamps for every event

Audit trails are automatically generated and cannot be modified. They serve as a legal record of the signing process.

Every fully signed document includes a Signature Verification Certificate appended as the final page. This certificate contains:

• Document title and ID
• SHA-256 hash of the original document
• SHA-256 hash of the signed document
• Complete list of signers with their email, IP address, and signing timestamp
• Verification status confirming the document has not been tampered with

CloseRelay e-signatures are fully compliant with:

• ESIGN Act — The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act
• UETA — The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act

Every signature is legally binding and enforceable. The combination of audit trails, SHA-256 hashing, and optional OTP verification provides a robust evidentiary record.
