How Does BoPeep Work?

You (the petition creator) anonymously draft your petition on BoPeep’s platform. You'll decide:

• Who should receive it:
  • Invitation-Only: enter a list of email addresses—only those people will be able to sign; or
  • Public: get a shareable link that anyone can use to view and sign.
• How signatures should work: choose from three anonymity settings:
  • Transparent
  • Semi-Blind
  • Blind

Once you're ready, BoPeep sends the petition anonymously to your selected recipients, or gives you a link to share if it's a public petition.

Whether someone receives an email invite or accesses a shared link, they’re taken to a secure page to sign. The petition type determines what information—if any—will be revealed. Here’s how each one works:

Transparent Petitions

• Signers' names and email addresses will appear on the final petition.
• The petition creator always remains anonymous.

Semi-Blind Petitions

• Signers are anonymous at first.
• If enough people sign, all names and emails will be revealed at the end.
• Invitation-only: the threshold is a percentage of invitees, shown in the invitation.
• Public: the threshold is a fixed signature count, shown on the sign page.
• If the threshold is not met, responses stay completely anonymous—even to the creator—and the petition will self-delete.

Blind Petitions

• Signers remain fully anonymous—BoPeep encrypts identities so that names and emails are never shown.
• For Invitation-only petitions, the threshold is a percentage of invitees, shown on the sign page. For public petitions, the threshold is a fixed signature count, also shown on the sign page.
• For Invitation-only petitions, the final petition shows how many people signed, how many were invited, and the email domains of invitees (e.g., @gmail.com)—never full addresses. For public petitions, the final petition shows only the total number of people who signed.

After the deadline has passed:

• The creator can anonymously send out or distribute the final version of the petition using BoPeep’s platform.
• The display of signer information depends entirely on the petition type and final signature count.

Here are examples of what the final petitions will look like, for each petition type:

• Example Transparent & Semi-Blind Petitions
• Example Blind Petition

• Petition settings (recipient list, deadline, anonymity type, public/invitation status) cannot be changed once the petition is sent.
• Signing is free and does not require an account.
• Creating a public transparent petition is free. Public semi-blind, public blind, and invitation-only petitions cost $9.99 (invitation-only is free with only one recipient).
