Summary
It is erased. Your document travels up to our servers over an HTTPS connection, serves only to prepare and launch the fax, then disappears automatically when the transmission ends.
One reservation remains, common to every fax: on the telephone stretch that reaches the recipient's machine, the pages travel unencrypted.
From browser to erasure
As soon as you drop the file, HTTPS protects it until it arrives on our equipment. It waits there while the transmission runs, then erasure happens without you having to ask for it.
No one opens your pages. The document is put to use for nothing beyond its journey to the number you indicated: no proofreading, no analysis, no commercial exploitation.
The link the standard leaves unencrypted
The final stretch remains, over the public telephone network, up to the machine on the other end. No encryption was ever added to the standard: these pages therefore travel in the clear, whichever operator or provider is involved.
In practice, incidents arise far more often from a mis-copied digit or a machine left in a corridor than from a tapped line. Re-reading the number before confirming remains the most effective protection.
What tracking requires keeping
The tracking details — identities, subject, number dialled, status — remain available to feed the progress and any receipts. The PDF itself, on the other hand, is not retained.
Key points
- The file climbs to our servers over HTTPS.
- Automatic deletion of the PDF after transmission.
- The last telephone stretch stays unencrypted, like every fax.
- Checking the number before confirming avoids most incidents.
