Delivery receipts report a timestamp, pages delivered, and recipient confirmation. The service is listed for Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. OTG describes vFax as HIPAA compliant and says it uses encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, and audit logs; it also lists 256-bit encryption and SOC 2 readiness.
