What Happens in Skyfish When a Digital Consent Is Signed
When a signer completes a Digital Consent, Skyfish processes and stores the information automatically. This ensures signatures are traceable, auditable, and ready to be linked to media.
1. The Signed Consent Returns Automatically
Once the signer submits the consent:
- The signed document is uploaded directly to your Skyfish workspace
- It appears under “All Digital Consents” and under “Created by Me” (for the owner)
- No manual import or upload is needed
2. Skyfish Adds Key Contract Details
Skyfish automatically assigns and stores the following information:
Contract Issue Date
Contract Issue Date: The date the consent was created or signed.
Contract Expiry Date
Contract Expiry Date: Calculated automatically based on the validity period you defined when creating the Digital Consent.
Signer Information
Collected from the sign page:
- Name
- Phone number (if required)
- Selfie (if required)
All information is stored securely within the consent record.
3. The Consent Is Ready for Use with Media
Once returned, the consent is immediately available for:
This ensures compliant usage over time.
- Linking to images and videos in Skyfish
- Displaying purpose information in pop-ups and download notes
- Enabling expiration alerts and download blocking when the consent expires
- Appearing in Skyfish search (based on purpose text and metadata)
This ensures compliant usage over time.
4. Expiration Alerts and Download Blocking
If a consent has an expiration date and is linked to media:
- Skyfish will notify you as the date approaches
- Media linked to an expired consent will automatically be blocked from download
- This helps maintain GDPR-aligned usage of image material
