Document filing and receipt
Rev. 10-2026
For FinFile use only
Part I What goes in the file
Five sections. Every paper has a place.
Each document is filed under one of five sections, by year, so the next time someone asks for it takes one search.
- A
Contracts and agreements
NDAs, service agreements and engagement letters that need a signature.
Mutual NDA, Northpoint Labs
- B
IDs and certificates
Passports, licences and certificates you are asked to show again and again.
Passport, driver's licence
- C
Home and property
Leases, deeds, warranties and the manuals that came in the box.
Apartment lease, 12 months
- D
Work and HR
Offer letters, policies and the forms every new job hands you.
Offer letter, Brightwater Studio
- E
Everything else
Insurance, receipts, records and anything you may need to find later.
Certificate of insurance
Part II How a document is filed
Upload, file, share, sign.
Upload
Drop the PDF. Your browser fingerprints it with SHA-256 before it leaves the device.
File
Pick the section and the year. The document gets its line and a filing receipt.
Share
Send a link, not an attachment. It expires on the date you set and logs every open.
Sign
Signers sign on the document itself. The receipt records who, when and the final digest.
Filing sheet
Part III Attachment or link
Stop mailing the PDF.
An attachment is a copy you give away. A FinFile link is access you can see and take back.
Emailed as an attachment
Sent as a FinFile link
- Where the copy lives
AttachmentIn the recipient's inbox, and in every backup of it, for as long as they keep it.
FinFile linkIn your file. The recipient reads it through the link.
- Forwarding
AttachmentOne forward and the full document travels on, with nothing to show it happened.
FinFile linkA forwarded link still shows up in the log, and you can switch it off.
- Expiry
AttachmentNone. The attachment opens forever.
FinFile linkSeven days by default, or the date you set.
- Who opened it
AttachmentNo record. You find out when someone replies.
FinFile linkEvery open and download, with time, IP and recipient.
- Taking it back
AttachmentNot possible once it is sent.
FinFile linkRevoke the link and it stops working. Signers keep their receipts.
Part IV Security
Six controls on every file.
What the people at FinFile can see
Your name, your email and the titles of what you file, so we can answer support questions. File contents are opened only when you ask us to help with a specific document.
What never happens
No ads, no selling of data, no sharing beyond the people you send a document to. Your documents are not used to train anything.

Part V Signature
Sign here. Watch the receipt write itself.
Type a name. This page computes the same kind of SHA-256 receipt every FinFile signature gets, right in your browser.
FinFile signatures are built to meet the federal ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act.

Part VII Questions
Read before filing.
- Who is FinFile for?
- Anyone who keeps sending the same papers around: freelancers, renters, small teams and families sharing contracts, IDs and records with clients, landlords and employers.
- What can I upload?
- PDFs and images of everyday documents: contracts and NDAs, leases, IDs and certificates, offer letters, warranties, insurance papers and receipts.
- How does sharing work?
- You send a link instead of an attachment. Each link has an expiry date, and every open and download is written to the document's receipts.
- Are FinFile signatures legally binding?
- They are designed to meet the ESIGN Act, UETA and the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act. Some documents, such as wills, cannot be signed electronically.
- What is a filing receipt?
- A numbered record created for every upload, share and signature. It carries the time, the people involved and the SHA-256 fingerprint of the file.
- Why is my account reviewed?
- Sharing and signing open after a person checks your details. It keeps impersonators away from documents that carry personal details.
- Does FinFile give legal advice?
- No. FinFile stores, shares and collects signatures on your documents. Questions about what a document should say belong with a lawyer.
- Will you text me?
- No. FinFile is an email-only service. You can unsubscribe from product email at any time from the link in any message.
