Include consumer-facing disclosures where applicable and capture explicit consent for electronic records and data processing to comply with ESIGN and privacy rules.
Record timestamps, IP addresses, and signer actions. A clear audit trail supports compliance, troubleshooting, and evidence of intent to sign.
