What is SignGuard?

SignGuard is an AI contract-analysis app for consumers in Germany: you upload a contract as a photo or PDF, the AI checks it in 60 seconds for risky and invalid clauses, and explains every finding in plain English with a reference to the relevant German statute — as a simple traffic-light rating. The first 4 analyses are free; all data is processed GDPR-compliantly on EU servers.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The 5 most important questions, answered briefly.

SignGuard is a digital contract manager that organizes your contracts and analyses them with AI. The app detects clauses, benchmarks them against market standards, tracks deadlines, and helps you understand your German contracts. All within seconds, right on your phone. Learn more about the team and the story behind SignGuard on our About us page.
Many publicly available AI tools are prone to hallucination — they invent answers or average out opinions from across the internet. In legal matters, that can lead to serious mistakes. The SignGuard AI was developed together with lawyers and draws on dedicated legal databases, which makes its analysis and clause classification legally more precise — we explain the details on our AI transparency page. Many AI models also process user data outside the EU and use personal data for their own purposes — SignGuard runs on EU-based servers and protects your privacy in line with the GDPR. And while many AI tools offer little more than basic text analysis, SignGuard combines intelligent clause classification with active contract management: deadline tracking with automatic reminders, a clause traffic-light system benchmarked against common standards, a clear contract library, and detailed PDF reports. SignGuard is not a chatbot — it is a complete contract manager.
Yes! The Free plan includes 4 full contract analyses — completely free, no credit card required. That way you can try SignGuard risk-free before deciding on a subscription. You'll find an overview of all plans in the pricing section.
No. SignGuard does not provide legal advice and is no substitute for a lawyer. The app classifies contract clauses against statutory standards and market-typical terms and gives you a structured overview. For specific legal questions, we recommend consulting a lawyer — SignGuard prepares you perfectly for that conversation. And if the analysis flags a high risk, the Lawyer Check lets you forward your contract straight from the app to an independent, licensed German lawyer (Rechtsanwalt), with a free initial assessment.
Maximum security: all data is processed on EU-based servers in line with the GDPR and transferred with TLS encryption. The original file is deleted right after text extraction; the extracted contract text is stored on servers in Germany and automatically deleted after 30 days. You can delete your data completely at any time. For full details, see our data security page.
