SLKSeal Platform — Privacy Collection Notice

This notice supplements the SLK Lawyers Privacy Policy and describes the additional personal information collected when you use the SLKSeal document signing platform. The firm's Privacy Policy governs all collection, use, disclosure, storage, access rights, complaints, and data breach procedures. Terms defined in the firm's Privacy Policy have the same meaning here.

Information collected automatically

To verify the authenticity and integrity of document transactions and to detect and prevent fraud, we automatically collect technical information when you access, view, sign, or decline a document. This includes:

• IP address and approximate geographic location derived from it
• Browser type, version, and operating system
• Device type, screen resolution, pixel density, colour depth, and hardware characteristics (including processor concurrency and touchscreen capability)
• Language preferences, locale, and timezone settings
• Referring URL, HTTP headers, and accepted content types
• A browser fingerprint derived from canvas rendering, graphics processor identifiers (WebGL), available system fonts, and network connection type
• Network addresses obtained via WebRTC (STUN), which may reveal addresses that differ from your primary connection
• Interaction data including time spent on the document, navigation between fields, scroll and click activity, and time to first interaction
• Timestamps for each action (viewing, starting, signing, declining)

Purpose

This information is collected for the purposes set out in the firm's Privacy Policy, and additionally for:

• Transaction integrity — creating a verifiable audit trail establishing that a document was signed by the intended party at a specific time and place
• Fraud detection and prevention — identifying suspicious activity, verifying signer identity, and detecting the use of anonymising tools that may indicate fraudulent intent
• Legal compliance — meeting evidentiary requirements under the Electronic Transactions Act 1999 (Cth) and equivalent state legislation

Collection of this information is reasonably necessary for our functions and activities as a legal technology provider. Where documents are sent to you on behalf of a client, collection is also necessary for the legitimate interests of that client in verifying the authenticity of signed documents.

Disclosure

Technical fingerprint and interaction data is available only to the account holder who sent you the document and to authorised staff of SLK Lawyers. It is not included in audit trail documents shared with other signatories. Disclosure to third parties is governed by clause 6 of the firm's Privacy Policy.

Retention

Technical fingerprint and interaction data is retained for as long as the associated document records are retained, in accordance with clause 9 of the firm's Privacy Policy and applicable legal and professional retention obligations.

Your rights and contact

Your rights in relation to this information, including access, correction, and complaints, are set out in clauses 10 and 13 of the firm's Privacy Policy. Note that we may decline requests that would compromise the integrity of the audit trail or interfere with fraud prevention obligations.
