Privacy Policy

PetitionHQ ("we", "us") operates petitionhq.us. This policy describes what we collect, why, how we store and protect it, and the choices you have. Questions: [email protected].

What we collect

• Eligibility data: degree, field, experience, publications, citations, awards, grants, intended U.S. endeavor — provided by you in the assessment flow.
• Account data: name and email if you create an account.
• Documents: CV, recommender letters, evidence exhibits, and similar materials you upload.
• Operational telemetry: IP address, browser, page activity for security and product analytics; never sold.

How we use it

• Run your eligibility assessment, generate your tier rating, draft your evidence dossier.
• With your explicit consent: share your structured intake packet with vetted partner immigration attorneys.
• Operate, secure, and improve the service.

We do not sell your data, and we do not use your documents to train third-party AI models.

Security

• All documents are encrypted at rest in isolated object storage with token-scoped signed URLs.
• All traffic is HTTPS with HSTS preload.
• Sessions are JWT-based with server-side revocation.
• CSRF and rate-limit protection at the middleware layer.
• Regular third-party security review.

Your choices

• Access: request a copy of your data at [email protected].
• Deletion: request permanent deletion of your account and documents. Completed within 30 days, except records we must retain under U.S. law.
• Consent: you control which attorneys, if any, receive any document.

Children

PetitionHQ is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect their data.
