YepSign privacy policy

Last updated: 16 October 2026

YepSign is a Chrome extension for signing PDF documents. It does not collect, store on a server, sell or share any of your data. This page explains what it handles and where that data stays.

What YepSign handles

• PDFs you open. YepSign reads and writes them inside the extension, in your browser. It does not upload them anywhere.
• Signatures, initials, saved text and handwriting you create. These are kept in Chrome’s local extension storage on your computer. They are not synced to your Google account or to any other service. Removing the extension deletes them.
• Preferences such as ink colour and pen type, kept in the extension’s local storage on your computer.
• Files you save, such as signed PDFs, .yepsign files and .otf fonts. They go where you choose to save them.

Network requests

YepSign has no server of its own. It makes a network request only to fetch a PDF you asked it to open: when you click the YepSign button on a tab showing a PDF, choose Sign this PDF with YepSign on a link, or allow YepSign to read from a site when it asks. That request goes to the website hosting the PDF, with your browser’s cookies for that site, as if you had downloaded the file yourself.

Permissions

• storage and unlimitedStorage: keep your signatures, saved text and handwriting on your computer.
• activeTab: read the PDF in the current tab when you click the YepSign button.
• contextMenus: add Sign this PDF with YepSign to links to PDFs.
• Optional access to websites: requested one site at a time, only when you ask YepSign to open a PDF from that site and it could not read it otherwise.

What YepSign does not do

YepSign has no analytics, tracking, advertising or accounts. It does not transfer your data to anyone, and it does not use your data for anything except signing your documents.
