The Audit Trail Is Tamper-Proof
Once generated, the Digital Audit Trail cannot be altered, deleted, or modified by any party, including Inkfree. It is cryptographically bound to the completed document and sealed at the moment of final signing. Any attempt to modify the document or its audit trail after signing is immediately detectable. The integrity of your executed agreements is permanent.
The Audit Trail Is Permanently Retained
Inkfree retains every Digital Audit Trail alongside its associated signed document in encrypted cloud storage, indefinitely. You can access, download, or share any signed document and its complete audit trail at any time, from any device, whether the document was signed yesterday or three years ago.
