What is the eIDAS SnapPack and how does it work?

The eIDAS SnapPack is a pay-per-use bundle of qualified EU eIDAS timestamps. Three formats: 1 timestamp for $6.99, 5 timestamps for $24.99 ($5.00/each), or 10 timestamps for $44.99 ($4.50/each). Credits valid 12 months from purchase. No subscription, no monthly commitment. Available to all users, including during the 7-day free trial and on Essential and Professional plans.

Are screenshots admissible in US courts under FRE 902(13)?

Yes, but with important conditions. Federal Rule of Evidence 902(13) self-authenticates 'records generated by an electronic process or system that produces an accurate result' when accompanied by a certification of a qualified person. FRE 902(14) extends self-authentication to data copied from an electronic device, storage medium, or file when authenticated by digital identification (hash) and qualified signature. A simple screenshot is generally not self-authenticating without supporting affidavit and metadata. ProofSnap captures with SHA-256 hash, RSA-4096 signature, and a qualified eIDAS timestamp from Disig a.s. (EU Trusted List QTSP) — meeting both FRE 902(13) and (14) certification requirements. State courts generally follow analogous rules (e.g., NY CPLR 4518, CA Evidence Code §§1400, 1521, 1552).

Are screenshots admissible in UK courts under the Civil Evidence Act 1995 and UK eIDAS 2019?

Yes. The UK Civil Evidence Act 1995 admits hearsay-related electronic documents subject to weight assessment by the court. The UK eIDAS Regulations 2019 (retained EU law post-Brexit, supervised by ICO and DCMS) preserve the legal effect of qualified electronic timestamps from a qualified TSP. A qualified eIDAS timestamp creates a strong presumption of integrity and time accuracy that courts generally accept. The Electronic Communications Act 2000 (Part II) further reinforces the legal effect of electronic signatures and timestamps. Without a qualified timestamp, plain screenshots can still be admitted but their weight is at the court's discretion under CPR 32 and the Civil Evidence Act 1995.

What does the ProofSnap evidence package contain?

Self-contained ZIP archive (11–15 files depending on plan): full-page screenshot (JPEG), complete HTML source code, DOM text content, metadata JSON (URL, date/time, TLS info, cookies), manifest with SHA-256 hash, RSA-4096 digital signature + public key, Bitcoin blockchain timestamp (manifest.json.ots, OpenTimestamps), qualified eIDAS timestamp (manifest.json.tsr, RFC 3161, Disig QTSP), Provenance Certificate PDF with 8 anti-deepfake integrity checks, forensic log, Chain of Custody document (ISO/IEC 27037:2012), evidence report PDF. Each file cryptographically linked to the manifest.

Can I use the eIDAS SnapPack during the free trial?

Yes. The eIDAS SnapPack has been available since April 23, 2026 to all users, including those on the 7-day free trial and on Essential and Professional plans. Purchased credits remain valid for 12 months even after the trial expires — investment protection for the customer.

Is a qualified timestamp issued in Slovakia (Disig) valid in US, UK and EU courts?

Yes across all three jurisdictions. EU: Under Art. 41(1) of the eIDAS Regulation (EU) 910/2014, qualified electronic timestamps issued in one EU member state cannot be denied as evidence in another. Disig a.s. is on the EU Trusted List, supervised by the Slovak National Security Authority (NBÚ). UK: UK eIDAS Regulations 2019 (post-Brexit retained law) accept EU-issued qualified timestamps; ICO/DCMS supervisory framework recognizes EU Trusted List entries. US: Disig timestamps satisfy FRE 902(13) and (14) as qualified electronic records with cryptographic verification; international hash + signature standards (RFC 3161, ETSI EN 319 421) are recognized in federal and most state courts as forensically reliable.

What is the difference between eIDAS SnapPack and the regular SnapPack ($4.99)?

SnapPack ($4.99): 10 captures with Bitcoin blockchain timestamp (OpenTimestamps), SHA-256, RSA-4096, Provenance Certificate. Credits never expire. Suitable for preliminary documentation or non-litigation use cases. DOES NOT include a qualified eIDAS timestamp — therefore no enhanced evidentiary presumption under Art. 41(2) eIDAS, FRE 902(13) certification, or UK eIDAS 2019 effects. eIDAS SnapPack ($6.99–$44.99): 1–10 captures with an additional qualified eIDAS timestamp providing legal presumption of accuracy under Art. 41(2) eIDAS in all 27 EU member states + UK + EEA, plus FRE 902(13)/(14) self-authentication in US federal and state courts. Credits valid 12 months. Suitable for litigation evidence, GDPR audits, regulatory proceedings (FTC/SEC/FCA/BaFin), or IP enforcement.

Is the eIDAS SnapPack worth it compared to the Enterprise plan ($31/month)?

Depends on volume. The Enterprise plan (€28.99/month, ~$31/month) includes 10 eIDAS timestamps/month + unlimited captures + file certification (50/month) + priority support. Cost per stamp: €2.90 (~$3.15) at full usage. eIDAS SnapPack costs $4.50–$6.99 per stamp. Break-even: 7 stamps/month at regular usage. At 7+ eIDAS stamps/month, Enterprise pays off. At 1–6 stamps (irregular usage) SnapPack is the right choice — you save the monthly fee and pay only for stamps actually used.

Can I receive a US, UK or EU VAT invoice for the eIDAS SnapPack?

Yes. The Stripe payment system automatically generates a PDF invoice after purchase. For business invoices (US: EIN/W-9 details, UK: VAT registration number, EU: VAT ID for reverse-charge under Art. 196 EU VAT Directive 2006/112/EC), enter your details at checkout. The invoice contains all legally required mandatory information (UK: HMRC compliant VAT invoice rules, EU: relevant national VAT codes, US: standard business invoice). For attorneys, in-house counsel, and businesses, the cost is deductible as a litigation/discovery expense (consult your tax advisor).

Does ProofSnap work for lawyers and compliance officers across EU, UK, US and Canada?

Yes, fully across all common-law and civil-law jurisdictions. United States (FRE 902(13)/(14) self-authentication, FRE 901 general authentication, NY CPLR 4518, CA Evidence Code, Federal District + State Courts). United Kingdom (UK eIDAS Regulations 2019 + Civil Evidence Act 1995 + Electronic Communications Act 2000, ICO/DCMS supervised, applies to England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland under CPR 32 and equivalent). Republic of Ireland (eIDAS direct + Electronic Commerce Act 2000). EU 27 (eIDAS Regulation (EU) 910/2014 directly applicable, all national procedural codes recognize Art. 41(2) presumption). Canada (Canada Evidence Act §31.1-31.8 electronic documents, provincial equivalents). Australia/New Zealand (Evidence Act 1995 federal + state, Electronic Transactions Act 1999 — recognized via Australia-EU mutual recognition agreements). Available in English; UI also supports 21 other languages.

How does ProofSnap compare to Page Vault, Pagefreezer, Hunchly, TrueScreen, Smarsh and Hanzo?

Page Vault: enterprise SaaS for law firms ($195+/month per concurrent user + $199–349 per on-demand capture), no eIDAS qualified timestamp. Pagefreezer: continuous archiving for compliance ($6,000–15,000/year), best for regulated industries (SEC/FINRA/FCA), no per-capture pay-per-use. Hunchly: OSINT browser logging ($129/year subscription), captures investigation sessions, not single-event evidence. TrueScreen: Italian forensic capture (Personal pay-per-use credits + Business €60/month), focused on EU market with eIDAS option. Smarsh / Hanzo: enterprise compliance archiving for financial services and regulated industries, $10k+/year. WebPreserver: Chrome plugin for OCR PDF/MHTML/WARC export. ProofSnap eIDAS SnapPack: $6.99 per single qualified eIDAS timestamp, no subscription — uniquely combines Capture + Bitcoin OpenTimestamps + Disig QTSP eIDAS timestamp + Provenance Certificate (8 anti-deepfake checks) + 11–15-file evidence ZIP. The only product in the market that combines all four signals for under $7.

What does a digital forensics expert witness cost in the US compared to ProofSnap?

US digital forensics expert witnesses charge $300–650/hour for analysis and $475/hour for court testimony, with $150–500 per court appearance (sources: SEAK Expert Directory, Capital Expert Services, Forensis Group 2026 surveys). Notarization of digital evidence (when permitted) typically requires affidavits and IT-expert testimony — $200–500 total minimum for a simple document. ProofSnap eIDAS SnapPack costs $44.99 for 10 URLs ($4.50/URL) — up to 100× cheaper than a single hour of expert witness testimony, captured in 30 seconds, with cryptographic chain of custody (ISO/IEC 27037:2012) eliminating the need for expensive expert authentication in many cases. The key cost benefit: capturing evidence at the time of the event with eIDAS prevents downstream forensic re-authentication.

How do I preserve a webpage as legal evidence in 2026?

The 2026 best-practice workflow has 5 steps: (1) Install ProofSnap from Chrome Web Store (free, 30 seconds). (2) Open the webpage you need to preserve (WhatsApp Web, social post, contract, defamatory content). (3) Click ProofSnap — it captures full-page screenshot + complete HTML + DOM + metadata + TLS info. (4) ProofSnap automatically applies SHA-256 hash, RSA-4096 signature, Bitcoin OpenTimestamps, and qualified eIDAS timestamp from Disig QTSP (EU Trusted List). (5) Receive self-contained ZIP archive (11–15 files) including ISO/IEC 27037:2012 chain of custody — ready for FRE 902(13) self-authentication in US, UK eIDAS Regulations 2019 effects in UK, and Art. 41(2) eIDAS presumption in EU. Cost: $6.99 per capture with eIDAS qualified timestamp, no subscription. Captured in 30 seconds vs days for notary affidavit or weeks for digital forensics expert engagement.

What is spoliation of evidence and how does ProofSnap help avoid it?

Spoliation is the failure to preserve evidence (or its destruction) when litigation is reasonably anticipated. US courts can impose adverse inference instructions, monetary sanctions, or even default judgment against the spoliating party (FRCP 37(e) as amended 2015, codifying principles from Zubulake v. UBS Warburg, S.D.N.Y. 2003-2005). UK courts apply equivalent doctrines under CPR Practice Direction 31B (Disclosure of Electronic Documents, in force since 1 October 2010). EU jurisdictions follow national procedural codes with similar consequences. Capturing webpage evidence at the moment you become aware of potential litigation — with cryptographic chain of custody (ISO/IEC 27037:2012) and qualified eIDAS timestamp — is the gold standard for spoliation defense. ProofSnap's 30-second capture creates an immutable evidentiary record with verifiable SHA-256 hash, RSA-4096 signature, Bitcoin blockchain anchor, and Disig QTSP eIDAS timestamp — addressing the FRCP 37(e) preservation requirements (duty to preserve ESI, prejudice from loss, and intent to deprive).

What is the difference between RFC 3161 timestamps and qualified eIDAS timestamps?

RFC 3161 is the IETF technical protocol that defines how a Time-Stamp Authority (TSA) issues a timestamp — used by virtually all timestamping services (FreeTSA, GlobalSign, DigiCert, Entrust, Sectigo, Disig, etc.). A qualified eIDAS timestamp is RFC 3161 PLUS (a) issuance by a Qualified Trust Service Provider listed on the EU Trusted List (Art. 22 eIDAS), (b) compliance with ETSI EN 319 421/422 policy and protocol standards, (c) under Art. 42 eIDAS technical requirements. Only qualified eIDAS timestamps enjoy the legal presumption under Art. 41(2) eIDAS — generic RFC 3161 timestamps from non-qualified TSAs (e.g. FreeTSA, GitHub Sigstore) are admissible but at the court's weight discretion. ProofSnap uses Disig a.s. (Slovakia, EU Trusted List), so every eIDAS SnapPack timestamp is BOTH RFC 3161 compliant AND qualified eIDAS — accepted in EU 27 + UK + US courts.

How does ProofSnap compare to GlobalSign, Entrust, Sectigo and DigiCert timestamping services?

GlobalSign Timestamping SaaS, Entrust Timestamping Authority, Sectigo eIDAS TSA, and DigiCert RFC 3161 TSA are all enterprise-grade RFC 3161 / eIDAS-qualified timestamping APIs. They sell raw timestamp tokens (typically $0.10–1.00/stamp via subscription contracts $1,000–10,000/year) and require you to: (1) compute your own SHA-256 hash, (2) build/maintain integration code, (3) capture the underlying content separately, (4) store and verify timestamps yourself. ProofSnap eIDAS SnapPack is the opposite: pay-per-use $6.99/stamp, no integration, no subscription — and you get the FULL evidence package (capture + hash + RSA-4096 signature + Bitcoin OpenTimestamps + Disig QTSP eIDAS timestamp + Provenance Certificate + ISO/IEC 27037 chain of custody) in 30 seconds direct from Chrome/Edge. For occasional litigation evidence: ProofSnap. For high-volume enterprise document signing workflows: traditional QTSPs.

Legal frameworks: US + UK + EU

Three jurisdictions, one solution — qualified eIDAS timestamps satisfy the certification standards of all three legal systems.

UNITED STATES · FRE 902(13)/(14)

Self-authentication of electronic records

FRE 902(13) self-authenticates records generated by an electronic process or system that produces an accurate result, when accompanied by a qualified person's certification. FRE 902(14) covers data copied from electronic devices when authenticated by hash + qualified signature.

FRE 901 remains the catch-all authentication rule for non-self-authenticating evidence (expert testimony, witness foundation). State courts generally follow analogous rules: NY CPLR 4518 (business records, electronic records explicitly admissible per § 302 State Technology Law), CA Evidence Code §§ 1400/1401 (authentication required) + § 1521 (Secondary Evidence Rule) + § 1552 (presumption of accuracy for printed computer records), TX Rule of Evidence 902(13)/(14) (mirror of federal rules).

UNITED KINGDOM · UK eIDAS 2019 + CEA 1995

Post-Brexit retained eIDAS framework

The UK eIDAS Regulations 2019 (retained EU law post-Brexit) preserve the legal effect of qualified electronic timestamps from EU Trusted List QTSPs. Supervised by ICO and DCMS. Combined with the Civil Evidence Act 1995 and Electronic Communications Act 2000 Part II.

CPR 32 (Civil Procedure Rules) governs evidence admissibility. Courts of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland recognize qualified eIDAS timestamps as creating a strong presumption of integrity and time accuracy. Plain screenshots admissible but with weight at court's discretion.

EUROPEAN UNION · Art. 41 eIDAS

Legal presumption across 27 member states

Article 41(2) of EU Regulation 910/2014 (eIDAS) grants qualified electronic timestamps a legal presumption of accuracy of date/time and integrity of data. Article 41(1) prohibits any member state from denying admissibility solely because the qualified timestamp was issued in another EU member state.

eIDAS 2.0 (Regulation (EU) 2024/1183, in force progressively 2024–2026) extends to qualified electronic ledgers and attestation services. EEA non-EU members (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein) recognize via the EEA Agreement.

Disputed authenticity: when a plain screenshot isn't enough

When the opposing party disputes the authenticity of a screenshot, the burden of proof returns to the producing party. US: under FRE 901 the proponent must offer foundational testimony — typically requiring a digital forensics expert witness ($300–650/hr analysis, $475/hr courtroom testimony, $150–500 per appearance per Forensis Group 2026). UK: under CPR 32 and the Civil Evidence Act 1995, courts may give plain screenshots reduced weight; expert IT witness fees commonly £200–500/hr. EU: most national procedural codes treat unauthenticated screenshots as visual inspection objects only, requiring expert testimony at €500–3,000+ per case.

With a qualified eIDAS timestamp: the burden of proof shifts — the opposing party must rebut the legal presumption of integrity (technically practically impossible). FRE 902(13)/(14) self-authentication in US, UK eIDAS 2019 effects in UK, Art. 41(2) eIDAS presumption across EU. Pre-emptive evidence preservation at capture time eliminates downstream forensic re-authentication costs.

Why ProofSnap is the only provider combining capture + qualified eIDAS + pay-per-use

Page Vault ($195/mo + $199–349/capture): court-certified for US litigation, no qualified eIDAS, expensive for occasional use. Pagefreezer ($6,000–15,000/year): continuous archiving for SEC/FINRA/FCA/BaFin compliance, overkill for single-event evidence. Hunchly ($129/year): OSINT browser logging, no qualified timestamp. QTSP APIs (DigiCert/GlobalSign/Datasure): just the bare token — you supply your own software, hash computation, manual integration.

ProofSnap eIDAS SnapPack ($6.99): only provider combining web capture + Disig QTSP eIDAS timestamp + Bitcoin OpenTimestamps + Provenance Certificate (8 anti-deepfake checks) + 11–15-file evidence ZIP, in 30 seconds direct from Chrome/Edge. Pay-per-use for 1–6 captures/month. For high-volume use: Enterprise plan $31/month (10 eIDAS + unlimited captures) as direct alternative to Page Vault $195/mo.

Do I need a qualified eIDAS timestamp or is the $4.99 SnapPack enough?

Honest decision matrix. eIDAS pays off when there's regulatory risk or when the opposing party may dispute. The $4.99 SnapPack works when no contestation is expected.

Use case	Will opposing party dispute?	Recommended	Why
Contract dispute >$10k (B2B)	YES	eIDAS SnapPack	FRE 902(13) self-authentication shifts burden to opposing party. Avoids $475/hr expert testimony.
GDPR/CCPA audit, cookie banner compliance	YES	eIDAS SnapPack	4 % global turnover GDPR fines + FTC enforcement — need ironclad proof of consent state at specific date.
High-stakes litigation (commercial >$50k)	LIKELY	eIDAS SnapPack	Burden-of-proof inversion under FRE 902(13)/(14) + UK eIDAS 2019 + Art. 41(2) eIDAS justifies premium.
Defamation / online reputation case	YES	eIDAS SnapPack	Defendant typically denies authorship or claims editing. Qualified timestamp + hash anchors the exact state.
IP enforcement (trademark/copyright takedown)	YES	eIDAS SnapPack	Infringer often deletes content fast. Qualified timestamp proves date of infringement for damages computation.
Regulatory filing (SEC/FCA/FINRA/BaFin)	YES	eIDAS SnapPack	Regulators demand audit-grade evidence with timestamp validation chain.
Insurance claim documentation >$1k	YES	eIDAS SnapPack	Insurers require regulatory-grade proof in disputes; pre-emptive eIDAS minimizes denial risk.

Note for personal documentation: when no dispute is expected (uncontested divorce, police report, personal records, preparatory documentation), the cheaper $4.99 SnapPack with Bitcoin blockchain timestamp suffices. Upgrade to eIDAS later if the situation escalates.

Rule of thumb: eIDAS SnapPack ($6.99+)

When (a) you act professionally (lawyer, DPO, compliance, in-house counsel, notary), (b) dispute amount >$10k or regulatory risk, (c) opposing party contestation expected, or (d) you need a cheaper notary/expert witness alternative.

Rule of thumb: $4.99 SnapPack is enough

When (a) no contestation expected (consensual, personal), (b) police report (police preserves themselves), or (c) preparatory documentation with later upgrade option.

Who is the eIDAS SnapPack for

Professional buyers who need qualified eIDAS timestamps occasionally — without a monthly subscription.

Attorneys for the single case (US/UK/EU)

Typical case: client arrives with WhatsApp screenshots from a contract dispute. FRE 902(13)/(14) (US) and Art. 41(2) eIDAS (EU) require a qualified timestamp for self-authentication — but what if the opposing party disputes? Digital forensics expert witness costs $300–650/hr. Solution: 5 eIDAS stamps pre-applied to the critical messages for $24.99 total. Cost billable to client as litigation/discovery expense.

FRE 902(13)/(14) UK eIDAS 2019 Litigation expense billable

Notary alternative for B2B firms & in-house counsel

Typical case: commercial law firms and in-house legal departments need to pre-emptively preserve webpage state in contract disputes >$10k (supplier T&Cs, online price lists, competitor claims). US notary affidavit + IT-expert costs $200–500/URL minimum and takes days. eIDAS SnapPack 10-pack: $44.99 ($4.50/URL), in 30 seconds, equivalent self-authentication under FRE 902(13).

B2B disputes Pre-emptive preservation 30× cheaper than notary

Also for: licensed private investigators (US: state-licensed PI; UK: SIA-licensed; EU: per national PI regulations) for documenting social profiles before deletion · investigative journalists for protection against defamation claims (US: First Amendment + actual malice standard; UK: Defamation Act 2013) · DPOs (Data Protection Officers) for GDPR/CCPA audits · Compliance teams for SEC/FCA/FINRA/BaFin filings · IP attorneys for trademark/copyright prior-art evidence · e-discovery specialists for FRCP 34 production.

“My client disputed the WhatsApp messages the opposing party produced in litigation. To avoid the $4,000 forensic IT expert report, I generated 3 eIDAS timestamps on my client's critical messages for $19.98. Transparent cost, billed as discovery expense.”

Commercial litigation attorney, New York — example scenario

“Investigation into inflated prices on an e-commerce site during the supply shortage. Captured 10 pages with eIDAS SnapPack ($44.99): product pages, T&Cs and cookie banner before they edited the site. No one could contest the publication.”
