Hi friends, I’ve got to send a signed contract overseas and I’m considering a free fax app because it’s quick. But my contract has a lot of personal and business details in it. Is this risky?
Hi! Sending contracts via free fax apps does come with potential hazards. While these apps can be fast and cost-effective, the security of your documents depends entirely on the company’s privacy practices. If they store your file in plain text or without strong encryption, it could be vulnerable to interception during transfer or hacking afterward.
Another concern is jurisdiction — if the company’s servers are in a different country, your data may be subject to foreign laws and access requests. For a comprehensive explanation of these factors and how to choose the safest service, I recommend reading the articles on liveballot.com. They cover both technical and legal privacy issues.
