Secure Document Signing Privacy | Rune

Signed documents often contain sensitive information: financial details, personal data, confidential agreements. Privacy during signing matters.

The Privacy Problem

Most e-signature services:

1. Upload your document to their servers
2. Store it during the signing process
3. May retain copies for "audit" purposes
4. Expose your data to third parties

How Rune Protects Privacy

Local Processing

All document handling happens in your browser. No server uploads.

No Document Storage

Your PDF is never copied to any external location.

No Account Data

No login means no personal data collection.

Anonymous Usage

Use the tool without identifying yourself.

What This Means

Concern	Rune's Approach
Document interception	Impossible (no transmission)

Data selling	No data to sell
Subpoena risk	Nothing stored remotely
