Privacy Policy — YouNeedToSign.com

Last Updated: November 11, 2026

You Need To Sign (YouNeedToSign.com) and the official You Need To Sign Chrome Extension are built to let you upload, sign, and share PDF documents with no account required and minimal data retention.

1. Data We Process

• Uploaded Documents: When you upload a document to sign or share via a temporary link, the PDF is transmitted over HTTPS to https://youneedtosign.com/api/docs solely to generate your signing link and allow recipients to view and sign the document.
• 24-Hour Automatic Deletion: All uploaded and shared documents are ephemeral and are automatically deleted after 24 hours.
• Local Browser Storage: The web app and Chrome Extension store theme preferences and your recent 24-hour document links locally in your browser (localStorage / chrome.storage.local) so you can easily access links you created. This list stays on your device and can be cleared at any time.

2. Data We Do Not Collect

• We do not require user accounts, names, emails, or passwords.
• We do not track your general web browsing history.
• We do not sell, rent, or share user data or uploaded documents with third parties or advertisers.

3. Chrome Extension Permissions

• Context Menus: Used solely to provide a "Sign PDF with YouNeedToSign.com" right-click shortcut when you choose to open a PDF link.
• Storage: Used solely to save your recent 24-hour signing links locally on your device.
• Host Permission (https://youneedtosign.com/*): Used solely to upload the PDF file you explicitly select and open it in the signing workspace.
