Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2, 2026
What we collect
When you fill out the intake, we collect:
- The dates you enter (last day of employment, visa expiration, I-94 expiration)
- Whether your employer filed an H-1B revocation
- Optional: your employer name (for cap-exempt detection)
- Your family situation (spouse / kids on H-4, other dependents)
- Whether you have a job offer pending
- The pathways you’re considering (transfer / B-2 / depart)
- Which US-based assets you have (lease, car, 401(k), bank, school)
- Your email address and optional timezone
- Which plan you selected (Standard / Priority)
What we explicitly do NOT collect
We do not ask for and do not store:
- Your Social Security Number
- I-94 record numbers, A-numbers, USCIS receipt numbers
- Passport numbers or visa stamp numbers
- Date of birth
- Home address (beyond timezone)
- Phone numbers
- Employer ID (FEIN), payroll details, or paystub data
The product is designed to deliver useful guidance from minimal input.
Payment data
Payment is processed by Stripe. We never see, store, or transmit your card number, CVC, expiration, or billing address. Stripe gives us a session ID and a payment status — that is all we receive.
How we use what we collect
The intake data is used for two things:
- Generating the personalized PDF action plan
- Sending the three reminder emails (+24h, +7d, +30d)
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with marketers.
Third-party processors
Retention
- Intake data: retained for 90 days after PDF delivery, then deleted
- Generated PDFs: retained for 90 days, then deleted from storage
- Email + payment record: retained for 7 years for tax and accounting purposes
You can request earlier deletion by emailing support@h1bcompass.com with the email you used at checkout.
Cookies
We set one cookie, h1b_session, an HMAC-signed identifier that links your browser to your purchase so you can access the dashboard and download your PDF. It expires after 30 days. We do not run analytics cookies, advertising trackers, or third-party scripts that profile you.
Your rights
Whether you live in the US, EU, UK, California, or anywhere else: you can request a copy of your data, ask us to delete it, or correct it. Email support@h1bcompass.com from the address you used at checkout. We’ll respond within 7 days.
Children
The service is intended for adults dealing with their own immigration status. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
Changes
We’ll update the “last updated” date when this policy changes. Material changes that affect existing users will trigger an email.
