Important: what kind of signature this is
This is a visual signature — your signature appears on the document, ideal for everyday use (returning a contract, authorizing something). It is not a certificate-based digital signature (like eIDAS/ICP), which carries formal legal weight and requires a digital certificate. For most everyday cases, a visual signature does the job.
Privacy
