Signature Question

The Signature Question feature allows you to include a question in a form to collect and store an electronic representation of a signer’s intent to sign (for example, through a drawn signature, upload of an image including a signature and/or a typed name) together with the associated form responses. 

When enabled, the Signature Question feature will generate a PDF copy of the form content and the corresponding responses that are designated by you as part of the “signed document”, to which the captured signature is appended. 

Keep in mind that deleting a form, response, or an Account will generally result in the deletion of the corresponding data and associated metadata from active systems, and that you are advised to define and implement your own retention policies for documents outside of our Services.

Typeform will make the signed document and associated response data available to you for download through the Services and may send an un-encrypted copy of the signed document to the email address provided by the signer, where technically configured to do so. Delivery of such copies may depend on third-party email providers and other factors beyond Typeform’s control. Typeform does not warrant and represent that this feature meets any applicable obligations under HIPAA, and you shall refrain from using it in case you are a Covered Entity and are planning to use it for any covered activities by HIPAA.
