Your Petition. Your Data. Your Rules.

Create and sign online petitions in Germany

Create a free online petition in Germany in minutes. Unlike most platforms, you see all the information signatories provide, including emails. You decide what data is collected, how long it is stored, and whether your petition is public or private.

Planning to create a petition in German? Our German-language site, Petitionen.com, may be a better choice. If you create the petition in multiple languages, the language versions are cross-linked automatically and share one signature list. A domain name that matches the language version makes it easier to remember and promote. The English version will have a petitions.com address.

Public or private petitions

Choose if you want your petition to be listed publicly or kept out of petition lists, site search, and search engines.

Team collaboration

Grant others permission to manage your petition. Assign different levels of access to translators, moderators, and administrators.

Multilingual petitions

Translate your petition into multiple languages. Language versions are cross-linked automatically and share one signature list.

We provide 46 language versions and use 30 domain names for them. Some language versions share the petitions.com domain through language-specific subdomains. A domain name that matches the language version makes it easier to remember and promote the petition.

See all language versions.

Rich content editor

Add images, videos, links and formatted text. Make your petition stand out.

Online or on paper

Every petition gets its own automatically generated privacy policy based on your choices during petition creation. Alternatively, you can provide the URL of your own privacy policy.

Set retention periods

Decide how long personal data of the signatories is stored. Your choice is shown automatically in the petition's privacy policy, unless you provide the URL of your own privacy policy.

What we do differently

No blind one-click signing

We don't let people sign based on a headline alone. Signatories always see the petition and the author of it before submitting the signature. One of the largest petition platforms offers one-click signing, but we believe signers should know what they are signing and who created the petition.

We don't use your petition to grow our mailing list.

We only ask signatories for consents for purposes chosen by the petition creator.

Many of the biggest platforms bundle their own marketing consents into the signature form of the petitions they are hosting. You can't opt in to petition updates without also agreeing to their emails.

No automatic user accounts

Some petition platforms automatically create user accounts for signatories. Petitions.com lets people sign petitions without automatically creating an account for them.

Language-specific domains

For the most popular languages on our service, we use language-specific domain names instead of putting every language version under one brand domain. A domain name that matches the language version makes the petition easier to remember and promote.
