What inSigner covers

The parts of an electronic signature flow in Chile that the service offers today.

Are electronic signatures legal in Chile?

Law 19.799 of 25 March 2002, published on 12 April 2002, on electronic documents, the electronic signature, and certification of that signature, sets the current rules. Article 2(f) defines an electronic signature as any sound, symbol, or electronic process that lets the recipient of an electronic document identify its author at least formally. Article 3 says acts and contracts signed with an electronic signature are valid in the same way and produce the same effects as those made in writing on paper, and are treated as written where the law requires writing. The last paragraph of article 3 says an electronic signature, of whatever nature, is treated as a handwritten signature, without prejudice to the following articles. Article 3 does not apply to acts that need a formality that cannot be met electronically, acts that require the physical presence of a party, and family-law acts. Supreme Decree 181 of 2002 regulates the Act. The standard inSigner signature is an electronic signature under article 2(f). It is not an advanced electronic signature. Whether a given document is valid still depends on the document and the law that governs it. inSigner does not decide that question.

What does article 2 require for an advanced electronic signature?

Article 2(g) defines an advanced electronic signature as one certified by an accredited provider, created with means under the holder's exclusive control, linked only to that person and to the data, able to show a later change, and able to verify identity so the holder cannot deny the integrity or authorship of the document. Article 4 says a public instrument must use that signature. Article 5 gives full evidentiary effect to a public instrument and to a private instrument signed with an advanced electronic signature. Article 11 and Title V regulate accredited certification providers. The Entidad Acreditadora is the Undersecretariat of Economy. inSigner is not that entity and is not an accredited provider. QES for Europe is an Enterprise option and is not a Chilean advanced electronic signature.

How does the record show who signed what?

Each person signs the fields you placed on the document you sent. The evidence record keeps their name and email or phone, when the document was sent, viewed, and signed, the IP address, the device data, and the authentication used.

Can I download the evidence for a completed document?

Yes. You can download the completed PDF and the evidence record, including a SHA-256 hash of the final file. If a single byte changes, the hash no longer matches. The hash shows whether the final file still matches. It is not an advanced electronic signature under article 2(g), and it is not encryption. Article 5 says a private instrument signed with an electronic signature has the evidentiary value that follows from the general rules. The hash does not by itself decide that article.

What inSigner does not cover

The limits, including the claims this page does not make.

Is the standard signature an advanced electronic signature or a QES?

No. Essential and Pro use a simple electronic signature. Article 2(g) and article 4 of Law 19.799 treat an advanced electronic signature as one certified by an accredited provider. inSigner is not that provider. QES for Europe is an Enterprise option, priced separately, and it is not a Chilean advanced electronic signature. It is not on Essential or Pro.

Does article 3 cover a family-law act, a public instrument, or an act that requires physical presence?

No. Article 3 leaves out family-law acts, acts that require the physical presence of a party, and acts that need a formality that cannot be met electronically. Article 4 says a public instrument must use an advanced electronic signature. inSigner does not act as a notary, does not witness a signature, and does not file a document in a property registry. Your counsel decides the form a document needs.

Does accepting the process satisfy article 3 or article 5?

Not by itself. Accepting the electronic process in inSigner records consent to sign that document. It does not, by itself, turn the signature into an advanced electronic signature under article 2(g), and it does not decide the evidentiary value under article 5. inSigner does not decide those points for you.

Does inSigner make a workflow comply with local privacy law, or cover clinical consent and uptime?

No. For the documents you send, you decide the purpose. inSigner does not write your privacy notice and does not make a workflow compliant with Chilean privacy or data protection law, including Law 19.628. Nubesti handles the account, billing, security, support, and marketing. Do not use the product by default for patient forms, clinical consent, account opening, credit decisions, or KYC. Identity checks are add-ons priced separately. There is no public status page and no uptime percentage. The mobile apps are planned, not a public download.
