How we store and secure information we collect

Information storage and security

We use technical measures to secure your data. Data exchanged with the website is transmitted over SSL.

While we implement safeguards designed to protect your information, no security system is impenetrable and due to the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that data, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, is absolutely safe from intrusion by others.

How long we keep information

We store the files for the sole purpose of giving you enough time to process and download them. No backups are made of these files. We don’t access your files without your explicit permission.

We store remembered images / signatures / watermarks in your browser's storage, so you can easily re-use them later. You can remove them at any time by clicking the delete button next to the item, by logging out or by clearing your browser's storage for the SEJDA.COM domain.

User Public Shared Files: You can choose to share processed output files with others, using our "Sharing" features (such as sharing them by email or by generating a public link). When a public link is generated for a shared file, we make a copy of the file and store it for the lifetime of the shared link. Anyone who has the shared link can access the shared files. The access link and the shared files will be permanently deleted automatically, 7 days after being shared.
