We work with U.S. passport regulations and provide guidance for forms like DS-82 (Renewal).

Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Document.us ("we," "our," or "us") respects your personal sovereignty and is deeply committed to safeguarding your private identity information. This Privacy Policy details the administrative, physical, and digital guidelines we deploy to secure the paperwork and questionnaires you submit to our private document assistance agency. By accessing our platform, completing our smart forms, or purchasing specialist review support, you consent to the operations described herein.

2. Information We Collect

To coordinate your application review effectively, we collect information that uniquely identifies you as an applicant. This includes:

  • Applicant Biographical Data: Full legal names, birth dates, places of birth, gender markers, and familial relationships.
  • Contact Details: Physical mailing addresses, primary email addresses, telephone numbers, and emergency point-of-contact details.
  • Existing Travel Credentials: Expiring passport numbers, issuance dates, book conditions (to assess damage), and stolen/lost reports.
  • Digital Files: Uploaded scans of state-issued IDs, birth certificates, qualifying 2"x2" passport photos, and related certified supplementary documentation.

3. How We Use Your Information

We utilize your compiled biographical questionnaire entries exclusively for technical compliance verification. Specific operational activities include:

  • Certified review by live, U.S.-based documentation specialists to flag potential federal Form DS-82 or DS-11 rejection errors.
  • Packaging and structured form formatting so you can download, print, sign, and ship your files smoothly.
  • Securely tracking your transaction history, compliance milestones, and service status updates.
  • Validating passport-grade photograph geometry (head alignment, backgrounds, and lighting ratios) to match state department regulations.

4. Cookies and Tracking

Our platform employs basic secure session cookies to retain questionnaire states while you transition between wizard steps. These functional identifiers prevent you from losing progress during extensive uploads. We do not sell tracking profiles to ad networks, nor do we run aggressive cross-site tracking scripts on your secure dashboard.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Because we are not a federal agency, we do not submit documents directly to the U.S. State Department on your behalf. Consequently, we NEVER lease, rent, or sell your biographical credentials to commercial brokers. Your records are disclosed only to our restricted, background-checked compliance officers and authorized secure cloud hosting partners.

6. Data Security

We deploy state-of-the-art administrative safeguards to protect sensitive materials:

  • 256-bit AES Encryption: All document uploads, scans, and form data are fully encrypted at rest and in transit.
  • Automatic Purging: To guarantee absolute security, all high-resolution document scans, secondary records, and primary photos are permanently deleted from our primary servers 30 days after your compliance review is completed.

7. Your Rights and Choices

You retain complete command of your identity records. At any point prior to final processing, you can access your profile, request corrections, or request immediate permanent deletion of your pending questionnaire history. To execute a manual profile purge, contact our compliance Desk directly via [email protected].

8. Children's Privacy

We facilitate preparation of child passport paperwork (Form DS-11 applications for minors under 16) only when initiated and authorized by a verified legal parent or guardian. We never knowingly compile or harvest biographical logs directly from minors without documented parental consent.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically to reflect evolving privacy regulations or system enhancements. When changes occur, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed.
