  • BEWARE EVERYONE DOCU SIGN HAVE INTERGRATED GEO LOCATION ON SIGNING ORDER BY DEFAULT UNDER SIGNED IN LOCATION AND ITS GIVING OUT PHYSICAL HOME ADDRESSES!! YOU ARE NOT EVEN TOLD !

got sent a docu sign envelope to sign and then went into download the amended document . Upon seeing the signing order geo location has disclosed 2 recipients physical home addresses!! There is no notification to switch off geo location and now one major recipient of a large companies' personal home address has been disclosed to all senders. in the blue link it takes you to the longitude and latitude of their personal home address. this is a major breach of security and your system needs to be fixed !! Also my daughter was at a private address when signing and that was also disclosed. why does a geo location have to be activated when it should be switched off by default. this is not my fault nor the other recipients fault. obviously your site is not transparent enough for a major pop up to come up on any device and say "do you want geo location switched on !! ???" ... geo location is not even necessary at all to sign any documents so why is this feature included and switched on by default. I am lodging a formal complaint about your app that is using our sensitive information and locations. see screen shot everyone !!! This is BS welcome to technology where all your details are disclosed by default!!! This app needs to be boycotted!!

Here is the only help you get with 2 links not making any fuss about having your home address disclosed ! this is how seriously this company cares about the people that are made to use this app!! Some recipients do not have a choice in the Real Estate industry!! This has to be a joke !!

Docu sign have also blocked anyone posting on their facebook page as well and have disabled community !! this is what happens when you create a post on their page they have hidden all the complaints!! I had a screens shot there of the problem and they have hidden it imagedeliberately !

Hello,

this doesn't cut it have a look how involved this is!! I have escalated this to management this app needs to be a lot easier than this to turn off geo location! at any rate the damage has been done and I had no choice in signing this docu sign as its a lease!! and here is your solution !! OMG !! This has to be a joke and your company is dealing with extremely sensitive information !! In the light of medi bank hack and other huge coporation hacks you need to fix this PRONTO or you will have many court cases against your app with negligence!!
