PIPEDA, eIDAS, ESA — explained plainly.

A signature is only as enforceable as the audit trail behind it. Here is what VG·Sign captures by default, and how that maps to the laws your contracts live under.

What this guide will cover

• PIPEDA · Canadian federal privacy regime — ESA 2000 governs Ontario specifically
• ESA 2000 / UECA · electronic signatures legally valid across Canada
• eIDAS · EU framework — VG·Sign produces simple electronic signatures (SES); we do not offer eIDAS QES/AES
• Not currently SOC 2 / ISO 27001 certified — our infrastructure providers (Supabase, Vercel) maintain their own SOC 2 independently

We are still polishing the long-form version of this guide. In the meantime, the points above cover the essentials — and our team is happy to walk you through any of them live.
