Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 3, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how ParentSignature.com, a service operated by Signature API, Inc. (“we,” “our,” or “us”), handles information when you use the ParentSignature.com website or related services (“Service”).

ParentSignature.com is a free, no-account, U.S.-only service that allows teachers to send school forms for parent signatures.

We value privacy and have designed the Service to collect and retain as little information as possible.

1. Who We Are

ParentSignature.com is operated by Signature API, Inc., a US-based company that provides secure signature processing technology.

While Signature API, Inc. operates both ParentSignature.com and its SignatureAPI products, using ParentSignature.com does not make you a Signature API customer or account holder.

2. Information We Collect

ParentSignature.com is designed to minimize data collection. We do not require user registration, logins, or ongoing personal data storage.

When you use the Service, limited technical and form-related data may be processed temporarily, including:

  • Form data you upload or send for signature (documents, parent names, email addresses, and signature fields).
  • Temporary identifiers or tokens required to send and route signature requests.
  • Basic technical data, such as your browser type, IP address, and timestamp, for security and performance monitoring.

We do not use tracking cookies, analytics pixels, or behavioral advertising tools.

3. How We Use Information

We use data only to operate and deliver the Service, including:

  • Processing and routing form signature requests.
  • Delivering signed documents back to the teacher.
  • Ensuring system integrity, reliability, and abuse prevention.

We do not sell, rent, trade, or use your data for marketing purposes.

4. How Information Is Stored and Retained

  • Documents and signature requests are processed securely by systems operated by Signature API, Inc.
  • Data may be temporarily stored only for the time necessary to complete the signing workflow, after which it is automatically deleted.
  • We do not maintain long-term archives or backups of user documents.
  • Any retained system logs are minimal and used solely for fraud prevention and system security.

5. Data Sharing

We do not share user data except as necessary to operate the Service or comply with legal obligations.

Specifically:

  • Signature and form data are shared only with the intended recipients (the teacher and parent).
  • We may disclose limited information if required by law, regulation, or valid legal process (e.g., subpoena).
  • We do not sell or share data with advertisers or external analytics services.

6. Third-Party Services

ParentSignature.com uses the SignatureAPI platform — operated by Signature API, Inc. — to process all signature workflows.

While both are operated by the same company, each service has distinct functions and privacy practices.

If you follow links to any other third-party websites or systems, you do so at your own discretion.

We are not responsible for how those external services collect, store, or use your data.

7. Security

We use commercially reasonable safeguards to protect data during transmission and temporary storage, including encryption and access controls.

However, no system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of any data transmitted or stored through the Service.

8. Children’s Privacy and Student Information

ParentSignature.com is intended for use by teachers, schools, and educational staff, not directly by students or minors.

Forms processed through the Service may contain information about minors, such as student names, parent contact information, or educational records.

Signature API, Inc. does not control, request, or use this data for any purpose other than temporarily processing signature requests.

Teachers, schools, and organizations using ParentSignature.com are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable privacy and student-data laws, including but not limited to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Signature API, Inc. acts only as a technical intermediary (data processor) for transmitting and delivering documents and does not maintain or archive any student-related data after processing is complete.

If you believe a child’s information has been improperly submitted or stored, please contact us at contact@signatureapi.com, and we will promptly delete any related data from our systems.

9. International Use

ParentSignature.com is intended exclusively for users located in the United States.

We make no representations that the Service complies with any laws or regulations inside or outside the U.S.

Users are responsible for ensuring their own compliance with applicable laws and school or district policies.

10. Your Responsibilities

By using ParentSignature.com, you agree that:

  • You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of the Service complies with applicable laws and school or district policies.
  • You will not upload or transmit documents containing sensitive or confidential information unless it is lawful for you to do so.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically.

The latest version will always be posted on our website, and continued use of the Service after updates means you accept the revised policy.
