Are electronic signatures legal?

The ECT Act defines an electronic signature (physically written out or a tick box) as data “attached to, incorporated in, or logically associated with other data” and which is “intended by the user to serve as a signature”. The ECT Act (at Section 13(2)) further provides that “an electronic signature is not without legal force and effect merely on the grounds that it is in electronic form”.  This clearly indicates that electronic signatures are legally recognised.

Does 1Tick comply with the POPI Act & GDPR?

Yes!  In the process of developing 1Tick Digital forms (Indemnities and registration platform) we have taken the utmost care to stay within the data regulations and the law of the country.  As our business is focused on data collection on behalf of our clients, particular attention has been given to the POPI Act. (Protection of Personal Information Act) and (GDPR).

Being a data collector (operator) our main focus is security of data, and we have chosen to host 1Tick with Xneelo, one of the most reliable and biggest hosting companies in South Africa & Europe.  They support the new international (GDPR) and local (POPIA) laws regarding data protection which are currently coming into effect.

1Tick and its entire staff are up to date with the current regulations and will do our utmost to comply with these regulations. 

Are my signed indemnities safe and secure?

Yes, SSL and Digital Certificates get used. SSL (secure sockets layer) is an encryption technology that creates an encrypted connection between the web server and your visitor’s web browser, so that confidential information can be transferred. We also use Xneelo as our hosting partner and all data is stored on dedicated, robust RAID storage arrays, providing data redundancy and integrity.

Where are your signed Indemnities/waivers kept?

As soon as your client has completed your indemnity and ticked that they accept the terms and conditions laid out in your form, our system generates a PDF that is stored on a server hosted by Xneelo.

You access this data by logging into the backend of your account and navigating to signed indemnities. Here you can download your signed PDF’s onto your computer or just leave them on our server.

We host with Xneelo as they are one of the best hosting companies in the world, with a reliable, stable, secure product, backed-up by the best service you will ever experience.

We have also opted for the extra website security by Cloudbric. The product gives comprehensive website level protection above the normal security already supplied by Xneelo.

All data is backed-up daily.
