Handle document data, signatures, and PII in Documenso integrations. Use when managing document lifecycle, handling signed PDFs, or implementing data retention policies. Trigger with phrases like "documenso data", "signed document", "document retention", "documenso PII", "download signed pdf".

npx tessl skill review --optimize ./plugins/saas-packs/documenso-pack/skills/documenso-data-handling/SKILL.mdBest practices for handling documents, signatures, and PII in Documenso integrations. Covers downloading signed PDFs, data retention, GDPR compliance, and secure storage. Note: Documenso cloud stores documents in PostgreSQL by default; self-hosted gives you full control.

Data handling implications:
- DRAFT: mutable, can delete freely
- PENDING: immutable document, but status changes
- COMPLETED: signed PDF available for download, archive
- REJECTED/CANCELLED: cleanup candidateimport { Documenso } from "@documenso/sdk-typescript";

}| Data Type | Classification | Retention | Handling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Signed PDF | Legal record | Per regulation (often 7+ years) | Encrypted archive |
| Recipient email/name | PII | Duration of business relationship | Sanitize in logs |
| API keys | Secret | Active use only | Secret manager, never logged |
| Webhook payloads | Contains PII | 30 days max | Anonymize after processing |
| Audit trail | Compliance record | Per regulation | Immutable storage |
| Data Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Download failed | Document not COMPLETED | Check status before download |
| Storage permission denied | Wrong bucket policy | Verify IAM permissions |
| GDPR request incomplete | Pagination not handled | Iterate all pages of documents |
| Retention job failed | API error during deletion | Retry with backoff, log failures |
