AES 256-Bit Encryption
Zero-Knowledge Architecture
SOC 2 Type II Certified
GDPR Compliant
Your Legal Documents Deserve Bank-Level Security
Binding Docs protects your personal legal documents with AES 256-bit encryption, zero-knowledge architecture, and multi-factor authentication. Your contracts, wills, and agreements are encrypted at rest and in transit, meaning no one, not even the Binding Docs team, can read your documents. Only you control who sees your data.
Your security, our promise
Three Principles That Guide Everything We Build.
Protected
Your legal documents are secured with the same encryption standard used by banks and government agencies. Every file in your Personal Vault is encrypted at rest and in transit using AES 256-bit encryption.
Private
We will never read, share, sell, or monetize your documents or personal data. Binding Docs uses zero-knowledge architecture — your data is not our business model. You and your documents are not the product.
Yours
You are the sole owner of your data. You decide who sees your documents through Smart Link access controls. You can export or permanently delete your data at any time, no questions asked.
Your security is not a feature. It's the foundation.
You can initiate the deletion of your account and all associated data directly through our web application:
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Every Binding Docs account is protected with multi-factor authentication as a default. When you sign in on a new device, you need your password plus a one-time verification code.
Biometric Authentication
Nearly a quarter of adults incur late fees not because they lack funds, but simply because they cannot find their physical or digital bills.
Secure Password Requirements
Binding Docs enforces strong password standards: minimum 10 characters including uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. Passwords are hashed using bcrypt.
Session Management & Auto-Lock
Inactive sessions are automatically terminated. All active sessions are visible in settings, and you can remotely revoke access from any device.

How We Protect Your Documents

AES 256-Bit Encryption
All documents are encrypted at rest and in transit using the AES 256-bit standard — effectively unbreakable.

Zero-Knowledge
Your documents are encrypted with a key derived from your account. The Binding Docs team cannot read your documents.

Tokenization
Sensitive data fields are tokenized. Even in a database breach, tokenized data is meaningless to attackers.
On-Screen Redaction
Sensitive info is automatically redacted in previews. Full details revealed only when you explicitly choose.

Smart Link Security
Secure Sharing Without Losing Control
Password-Protected Links
Add an extra layer with a password on any Smart Link. Even if the link is forwarded to the wrong person, they can't access the document without the code you set.

Permission Levels Per Link
Decide what each recipient can do: view only, download allowed, or comment enabled. Different recipients can get different permissions for the same document.

Revoke Access Instantly
Changed your mind? Revoke any Smart Link with a single tap, even if it hasn't expired yet. The recipient loses access immediately no delay, no copies left behind on our servers.
Share Without Sending
Smart Links let recipients view your document without ever receiving the actual file. The original stays in your encrypted Vault nothing is downloaded, forwarded, or duplicated unless you allow it.

Expiry Dates You Control
Every Smart Link can have an expiration date. Share a lease with your solicitor for 48 hours, or give your accountant access for a week. When the time is up, the link dies no reminders needed.
View Tracking and Activity Log
Know exactly who opened your document, when they viewed it, and how many times. Every Smart Link comes with a real-time activity log so you're never guessing whether someone actually read what you sent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Binding Docs safe for storing legal documents?
Yes. Binding Docs uses AES 256-bit encryption (the same standard used by banks and the U.S. government), zero-knowledge architecture, and multi-factor authentication to protect your legal documents. Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and no one — including the Binding Docs team — can read your documents without your authorization.
Can Binding Docs employees see my documents?
No. Binding Docs uses zero-knowledge encryption, meaning your documents are encrypted with a key that only you control. Our employees cannot access, read, or decrypt your documents — this is enforced by architecture, not just policy. Sensitive data fields are tokenized with irreversible aliases that cannot be decoded by anyone.
Does Lewiz AI use my documents to train its models?
No. Binding Docs does not use your documents, conversations, or any personal data to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models. Lewiz operates in a memoryless mode — it processes your request using reasoning capabilities only, delivers results, and retains nothing.
Will Binding Docs ever sell my data?
Never. Binding Docs will never sell, share, license, or monetize your personal data or documents. Our revenue comes exclusively from paying subscribers who value secure legal document management. You and your data are not the product.
What happens to my documents if I cancel my subscription?
You can export all your documents before your account is deactivated. If your payment lapses accidentally, we protect your data for 90 days and will never delete it without confirming your intentions. If you choose to delete your account, all data is permanently and irreversibly removed from our servers.
How secure is Smart Link document sharing?
Smart Links include multiple independent security controls: password protection, automatic expiration dates, view-only mode, controlled commenting permissions, instant link revocation, and a full access audit trail. Recipients interact through a secure viewing layer and never receive the raw file.
What encryption does Binding Docs use?
AES 256-bit encryption for all data at rest and TLS 1.3 for data in transit. AES 256-bit is the gold standard — the same level required by the U.S. government for top-secret information. Breaking it would require 2^256 combinations, making it effectively unbreakable.
