On behalf of our customers, who are the data controllers, we solicit and process information from signers that is required to complete various types of documents. Unqork collects personally identifiable information from users at several different points on the Site to fulfill the requirements of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) of 1999, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) of 2000, and Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 23 July 2014 (eIDAS). Additionally, Unqork may gather information as directed by our clients to fulfill the requirements of any document presented to be signed. Information obtained for the purpose of fulfilling documents presented to be signed on behalf of Unqork Clients is applied to the produced PDF (portable document format) on behalf of our clients. Any presentation of this document or the digital form fields to collect the data is provided using industry accepted transport secure-socket layer technology (TSL). We do not provide this information to third parties that are not a party or do not have a legitimate business interest in the electronic document being signed. Public website visitors to Unqork.com may voluntary supply personal data to sign up for our newsletter, request information, and contact us or for other business inquiries.

We act as a platform for client on-boarding and servicing. We act as your front door to digital distribution of products and customer onboarding. We clean up and validate application input, augment the submission with external data sources. We enable our clients to capture data and documents, enrich or validate it with external data sources while providing powerful analytics that will help improve your experience.

Our online Unqork Service allows any company that uses it to create and share product offerings and customer applications for enrollment content.

The information added to the Unqork Service, either by site visitors providing their contact information or when an Unqork Service Client adds the information, is stored and managed on our cloud service providers' servers. This information is then used to contact visitors about their interest in the company's goods or services and interact with the company.

Use by Our Clients

Our clients use the Unqork Service to build digital forms that people can receive on any connected device such as desktop or laptop computers, tablets and smart phones and complete for their business products or services and or to opt in or purchase those products or services. Unqork does not control the content of these web forms or the types of information that our customers may choose to collect or manage using the Unqork Service. That information belongs to them and is used, disclosed and protected by them according to their privacy policies and Unqork is the data processor per the EEA (European Economic Act) and Privacy Shield.
