Signing with Roughneck
Version: 1.1 · Effective: 7 October 2026
You have been sent a document to sign by the company named on the document (the "vendor"). The vendor uses Roughneck, a service run by Bootstrap Digital, Inc. (a Texas corporation in formation), to write and send its documents. The document is between you (and the company you sign for) and the vendor. Roughneck is not a party to it.
1. Signing electronically
By ticking the box and signing, you agree:
- to sign this document electronically, and that your electronic signature means the same as your handwritten one;
- that you have authority to sign for the company named in the document, if you sign for one; and
- to receive the signed document electronically.
You can ask the vendor for a paper copy, or to sign on paper instead, at any time before you sign. Contact the vendor directly. To keep a copy, save or print the signed document when you finish. The vendor also keeps one.
2. What is recorded when you sign
- the name and title you enter;
- your signature image;
- the date and time;
- a fingerprint of the exact document you signed;
- the kind of device and browser you use, its screen size, time zone and language, and the country your connection comes from (not your full IP address).
These go into the document's audit trail, which the vendor and your company both receive. Anyone who holds the document's verification code can check that it exists, and see its number, the parties, the date signed and the total. They cannot see anything else.
3. What a signature here proves
The record shows which document was signed, when, and from what kind of device. On its own, it does not prove who held the device. If the vendor asks for a photo-ID check (section 4), the record also shows that a person showed a government photo ID matching the name given. It still does not show whether that person had authority to sign for their company.
4. The photo-ID check (only if the vendor asks for it)
Before you start, read this biometric notice.
- Who runs it. The check is run by Stripe, Inc. through Stripe Identity, on Roughneck's Stripe account. Stripe will also ask for your consent on its own screen.
- What you do. You photograph a government photo ID. Where Stripe asks, you also take a selfie, and Stripe compares your face with the photo on the ID. That comparison uses biometric identifiers (a measurement of your face).
- Why. To confirm that the person signing is the person named on the ID, for this document only. Nothing collected in the check is used for anything else.
- Your face measurement. Only Stripe creates and holds it. Stripe deletes it within one year. Roughneck and the vendor never receive it.
- Your ID images, selfie and the details read from your ID. They are stored at Stripe, in Roughneck's Stripe account. Once the result is saved, Roughneck asks Stripe to delete them from that account, which Stripe completes within 4 days. Until then, only Roughneck staff who run the service can view them, and only to deal with a problem with the check. The vendor cannot view them.
- What Stripe keeps for itself. Stripe may keep some of this information for its own purposes, such as preventing fraud, under its own privacy policy. To ask Stripe about it, write to privacy@stripe.com.
- What Roughneck and the vendor keep. Only whether the check passed, the name on the ID, and when. This stays with the signed document.
- No selling. Neither Roughneck nor the vendor sells, leases or trades your ID images or biometric data, or profits from them, or discloses them to anyone except as the law requires.
- You can say no. Then ask the vendor for another way to sign.
Written release. I have read the biometric notice above. I release and consent to Stripe, Inc. collecting my ID images and a selfie and comparing my face with the photo on my ID, for the sole purpose of confirming my identity for this document. I understand that Stripe alone holds the face comparison and deletes it within one year; that my ID images and selfie are deleted from Roughneck's Stripe account within 4 days after the result is saved; and that Roughneck and the vendor receive only whether the check passed, the name on the ID and when.
5. Your information
The vendor decides what happens to the signed document and your details in it. Roughneck keeps them for the vendor as its service provider. Roughneck's Privacy Policy explains how, and your choices. For anything about the document itself, contact the vendor. For privacy questions about Roughneck, write to connect@roughneckcrm.com.
I have read this notice and agree to sign electronically.
