Documenso Data Handling

Overview

Best practices for handling documents, signatures, and PII in Documenso integrations. Covers downloading signed PDFs, data retention, GDPR compliance, and secure storage. Note: Documenso cloud stores documents in PostgreSQL by default; self-hosted gives you full control.

Prerequisites

• Understanding of data protection regulations (GDPR, CCPA)
• Secure storage infrastructure (S3, GCS, or local encrypted storage)
• Completed documenso-install-auth setup
