How Does BoPeep Work?

Step 1: Create Your Petition

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 (available for all petitions)
    • Semi-Blind (only available for invitation-only petitions)
    • Blind (only available for invitation-only petitions)
  • 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.

Step 2: Signers Respond

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.
  • However, those names are only revealed after the deadline passes.
  • The petition creator always remains anonymous.
  • This is the only option available for public petitions.

Semi-Blind Petitions

  • Signers are anonymous at first.
  • If a predetermined number of people sign, all names and emails will be revealed at the end.
  • If the threshold is not met, responses stay completely anonymous—even to the creator—and the petition will self-delete.
  • The required number will be listed in the invitation.

Blind Petitions

  • Signers remain fully anonymous—BoPeep encrypts identities so that names and emails are never shown.
  • The final petition will show:
    1. How many people signed
    2. How many were invited
    3. The email domains of invitees (e.g., @gmail.com, @hotmail.com, etc.)
  • No full email addresses are ever shown.

Step 3: Petition Closes

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:

Additional Notes

  • 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 petition is free, and an invitation-only petition costs $9.99.
