YOU hereby agree that when YOU sign a document using SigniFlow that YOUR personal information will be recorded in the digital signature which is embedded in the document and visible to anyone that reads the document. YOU further agree that YOUR personal information will be recorded in the audit logs associated with any document that YOU have signed or approved or viewed or rejected using SigniFlow and that this information must be kept indefinitely as a body of evidence that YOU participated in the electronic transaction recorded in the SigniFlow audit logs which may also be embedded in the document.

    5. 6.5 If YOU have provided incorrect information about YOURSELF or YOUR company, SigniFlow reserves the right to deny YOU access to the SigniFlow Service. In such an event, YOU may be contacted by a representative of SigniFlow to assist YOU in resolving the matter.
    6. 6.6 Depending on the authentication settings in the document owner’s profile or the Server from where a document was sent to YOU for signing or a registration requirement on a SigniFlow Website, YOU may be prompted to create a unique password. YOUR password is stored in an encrypted format and is only known to YOU.
    7. 6.7 Users that upgrade from SignFREE to a Workflow account will only be given access to the Workflow account once payment is received.
    8. 6.8 Users that order a SigniFlow Professional account must be issued with a Certificate Authority (CA) x.509 personal digital certificate. This process is subject to further identity validation, business validation, email validation, domain validation, and other validations as required by the CA. When ordering a SigniFlow Professional account, YOU grant permission to the nominated CA to perform these checks. Only once the CA is satisfied with the validation results, will the certificate be issued. The time period for the issuance of a digital certificate is not within SigniFlow's control and may vary depending on the process of the CA. During the certificate enrolment process, YOU will be required to enter a unique password that will be used as the private key to generate YOUR digital certificate. The certificate will be stored in a secure private key vault or hardware security module (HSM) server. Once this process is complete, YOUR certificate user account (also referred to as YOUR digital signature account) will be synced with YOUR SigniFlow account for ease of use. This means that the password and access details that YOU have created to access the SigniFlow system will override (replace) the access details YOU created for the digital certificate account on the key vault or HSM, effectively giving both accounts the same username and password. Every time YOU log into the SigniFlow system, the system will automatically also log YOU into YOUR digital signature account with the password YOU provided on the SigniFlow Website. This process is also known as "single sign-on (SSO)" and is designed to eliminate the need for YOU to sign into YOUR digital certificate account every time YOU sign a document. YOU GRANT SIGNIFLOW PERMISSION TO UTILISE SINGLE SIGN-ON AS DESCRIBED ABOVE FOR YOUR ACCOUNT AND TO REPLACE YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD ON THE PRIVATE KEY VAULT OR HSM IN YOUR CERTIFICATE ACCOUNT SIGNIFLOW PERMISSION TO LOG YOU INTO YOUR CERTIFICATE AUTOMATICALLY EVERY TIME YOU LOG INTO SIGNIFLOW.

  1. MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION
The Software provides the following methods to authenticate Users before or during the course of using the Software;
  • For the purpose of verifying a User’s identity, the Software requires a User to enter their identity information, which is either excepted as-is, or it is electronically verified by transmitting the User’s data to a verification agency which verifies, or matches the information that the User supplied against information that the verification agency has on file for that User. The verification agency returns a positive or negative result which the Software uses to either progress or to halt the verification process which will execute further actions in accordance to the Software’s configuration for a specific application of verification, or in accordance to specific configurations set in the Software by the User triggering a workflow that will trigger a verification process. Depending on the region, country or configuration of a specific workflow User’s server, identity information requested may consist of the following;
    • First name or first names and Surname (Lastname or Family name);
    • Government issued national identity number and/or passport number and/ or driver’s license number and/or social security number;
  • Once the User’s identity is accepted as per 1, multi-factor authentication methodologies are applied in the following manner;
    • Email authentication. The User will receive an Email from the Software containing a hyperlink, which if executed correctly will record, accept and bind the email address to the User’s identity profile. The email address is then used to communicate electronically with the User and it will serve as a method of authentication to access the Software.
    • Mobile phone number authentication. The User will receive a unique single-use code (one-time pin (OTP)) via a short message service (SMS) on their mobile device which the User must enter into a uniquely linked website form provided by the Software, which if executed correctly will record, accept and bind the mobile phone number to the User’s identity profile. The same methodology is used when Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) services are used to authenticate the mobile phone number.
    • The User will be prompted to create a strong password, which is created using a secret pass phrase consisting of a combination of alphabetic, numeric, alphanumeric and symbolic characters, which if executed successfully will be recorded and kept in encrypted format in the Software linked to the User’s identity profile.
  • SigniFlow recommends that all factors of authentication described in Clause 11.1 and Clause 11.2 are always utilised by all Users of the Software. The configuration and thereby the inclusion or exclusion of each multi-factor authentication method can be set by a User (whether done by the User or by SigniFlow on instruction of the User) in the Software setup at the time of triggering a workflow (sending a document to another user to approve or sign) or as a global setting in the Software which could be everlasting, will determine the methods of authentication that the recipient User are presented with.
