Chat Privacy vs. Document Security: How to Share Agreements Safely

Tools like WhatsApp privacy extensions, screen privacy guards, and advanced chat privacy settings are popular ways users try to safeguard personal communications. However, when it comes to formal legal agreements and sensitive contracts, chat applications were never built for document security.

The Limits of Chat App Security

While end-to-end messaging encryption keeps conversations private in transit, it doesn't provide cryptographic verification of agreement signatures. A PDF or image sent via chat can easily be modified, screenshot, or repudiated later.

Cryptographic Integrity with TrueConsent

TrueConsent supports signed, tamper-evident consent records and QR verification. This helps organize records for the parties involved; it does not establish the legal effect of a record or eliminate unauthorized sharing risks.

Check recipient access, retention and deletion arrangements before sharing. A privacy setting or verification result is not a guarantee of confidentiality or legal validity. Read the privacy policy and terms.
