Una firma electrónica son datos en formato electrónico que se adjuntan o se asocian lógicamente y que el firmante utiliza para firmar. Existen tres clases de firmas electrónicas distintas según el Reglamento (UE) 910/2014, cuya diferencia radica en la carga de la prueba. Si bien a la firma electrónica no se le negará efecto jurídico y la admisibilidad como prueba en procedimientos judiciales por el mero hecho de que haya sido formalizada en formato electrónico.
In addition to the legality that an electronic signature can have on its own, contractual freedom must be taken into account, that is, the will of the parties to sign or formalize a contract in a certain way.
During the signing process, evidences are generated and collected in a certifying document. The identity of the signature is guaranteed with a qualified time stamp, which prevents modifications to the signed document.
We use AES 256, SHA256, and secure connection using HTTPS. In this way, together with our information security management system, we prevent unauthorized access to our clients’ data and documents.
We protect the data of customers and their recipients. Our clients accept our Privacy Policy, and we have a data processing agreement. We comply with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and any other applicable legislation.
