Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2025

Overview

MyCaseWatch is built with a privacy-first approach. We collect only what is needed to deliver case status results and optional notifications. We do not sell personal data.

This policy applies to all services provided by MyCaseWatch, including case-tracking features that use official government or institutional systems.

Information We Collect

• USCIS Receipt Numbers (PII): When you choose to check a case, you may enter a USCIS receipt number.
• Contact details (optional): Email or phone number if you opt in to receive notifications.
• Technical/usage data: Minimal logs such as timestamps and request outcome (success/failure) to ensure reliability and security.

Use of Receipt Numbers (PII)

Receipt numbers are treated as personally identifiable information. They are used solely to retrieve case status from the official system and are not retained beyond what is necessary to return the result. We do not use receipt numbers for profiling or marketing.

How We Use Information

• Return case status results to the user.
• Send optional notifications if the user enables them.
• Maintain reliability, detect abuse, and improve security.

Data Retention

Receipt numbers are not stored after the status result is delivered. Optional contact details for alerts are kept only while the alert feature is active and are deleted upon request.

Security

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures for a small web application, including encrypted connections and restricted access. Safeguards will continue to be strengthened as the service grows.

Your Choices & Requests

• You can use status checks without providing contact details.
• You may request deletion of contact details used for notifications.
• Contact us at dev@mycasewatch.com for privacy questions or requests.

Third Parties

We do not sell personal data. Status results are obtained from official systems (e.g., the USCIS status system) when a user submits a receipt number.

Children

MyCaseWatch is intended for use by adults. If you believe a minor has provided contact details, please contact us to remove them.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as features expand. We will revise the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
