How to Keep Sensitive Scans on Your Phone
Local storage reduces unnecessary document uploads, but your phone, device backups and chosen sharing apps still matter. Keep sensitive PDFs out of shared folders.
Your practical walkthrough
Capture clean originals
Scan all required pages, review both sides and save the source document before adding working annotations.
Choose storage deliberately
Keep files local or opt into Pro Cloud with an account. Review the privacy policy and your device backup settings.
Test recovery
Restore a sample on your replacement device and inspect its pages and editable annotations. Keep an export of records you cannot afford to lose.
Check this before you send
Use a device lock, review OS backup settings and check each app's privacy policy. Encryption in transit and at rest is different from end-to-end encryption. SignaraScan does not claim HIPAA compliance.

Questions people ask
Do I need an account?
Not to scan, sign, annotate or export locally. Fax and optional cloud backup require an account.
Does a delivery receipt prove acceptance?
No. It records transmission status, not human review, legal service or approval of a filing.
Can I send an international fax?
SignaraScan fax coverage is limited to the United States and Canada.
