Using free fax apps

[Baker Vivianne]

Hi! I was thinking about using a free fax app to send a few documents instead of scanning and emailing them. It sounds convenient, but I’m not sure if it’s actually safe. Should I be worried about anything?

Hello! I looked into this topic on the platform https://liveballot.com/ It turns out that many free fax apps store documents longer than users expect and collect technical data about transmissions. Some don’t clearly explain how files are deleted. That made me realize that while these apps feel convenient, they can quietly create privacy risks, especially if you’re sending personal or work-related documents.
