Security & Data Privacy
Trusted. Verified. Enterprise-Ready.
Certified to the standards that matter
We meet and exceed the security and privacy expectations of enterprise legal teams worldwide.
SimpleDocs is independently audited and aligned with leading compliance frameworks—so you can trust that your data, contracts, and workflows are protected at every level.
Your Data. Your Control. No Retention.
We never store your documents beyond what’s required to deliver the service, and we never use your data to train AI models. Your contracts remain private—processed securely and immediately discarded after analysis. We comply with global privacy regulations (including GDPR), offer regional data residency options (U.S. or EU), and give you full control over how and where your data is used.
Built Secure from the Ground Up
At SimpleDocs, security isn’t a feature, it’s a foundation. We’ve built our platform to meet the highest enterprise standards, with security integrated across our codebase, infrastructure, and processes. From encrypted data storage (AES-256) and secure transmission (TLS 1.2+) to strict access controls and third-party audits, our systems are designed to protect your most sensitive contract data—without compromise.
