Electronic signatures in EcuadorBuilt for business
in Ecuador.

Law No. 2002-67, published in Registro Oficial Suplemento 557 of 17 April 2002, on electronic commerce, electronic signatures, and data messages, sets the current rules. Article 2 says data messages have the same legal value as written documents. Their effect still follows the Act and its regulation. Article 13 defines an electronic signature as electronic data attached or logically associated to a data message that can identify the holder and show that the holder approves the information. Article 14 gives an electronic signature the same validity and legal effects as a handwritten signature, and admits it as evidence. Article 15 lists the validity requirements for that signature. Article 20 defines an electronic signature certificate as a data message that certifies the link between an electronic signature and a person. The standard inSigner signature is not an electronic signature certificate. Whether a given document is valid still depends on the document and the law that governs it. inSigner does not decide that question.

Article 15 says that for validity an electronic signature must be individual and linked only to its holder, must allow authorship and identity to be verified with the technical devices set by the Act and its regulations, must use a reliable creation and verification method, and must be created with data under the exclusive control of the signer. Article 20 defines an electronic signature certificate as a data message that certifies the link between an electronic signature and a person through a verification process. Articles 21 and 22 set the uses and contents of that certificate. Article 29 says entities of information certification that issue those certificates are authorized by the Consejo Nacional de Telecomunicaciones. ARCOTEL now holds that accreditation and control role. Article 7 says documents that the law requires in a physical form, when dematerialized by agreement, must carry electronic signatures certified before an entity authorized under article 29. inSigner is not ARCOTEL and is not an accredited certification entity. QES for Europe is an Enterprise option and is not an Ecuadorian electronic signature certificate.

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.

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 electronic signature certificate under article 20, and it is not encryption. Article 2 gives data messages the same legal value as written documents. The hash does not by itself decide that article or article 15.

No. Essential and Pro use a simple electronic signature. Article 20 of Law 2002-67 treats an electronic signature certificate as a data message that certifies the link between an electronic signature and a person. Accredited certification entities under article 29 issue those certificates under ARCOTEL supervision. inSigner is not that entity. QES for Europe is an Enterprise option, priced separately, and it is not an Ecuadorian electronic signature certificate. It is not on Essential or Pro.

No. Article 7 says documents that the law requires in a physical form, when dematerialized by agreement, must carry electronic signatures certified before an entity authorized under article 29. Electronic invoices for the Servicio de Rentas Internas need a certificate from an accredited entity. Article 44 keeps the formalities of the law that governs the transaction. inSigner does not act as a notary, does not witness a signature, and does not file a document in a public registry. Your counsel decides the form a document needs.

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 electronic signature that meets article 15, and it does not issue an electronic signature certificate under article 20. inSigner does not decide those points for you.

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 Ecuadorian privacy or data protection law, including the Organic Law on Personal Data Protection.
