AI consent

Consent for AI help and review

Last updated: August 19, 2026

StatusShift can use AI to help word specific structural problems found by local automated checks. This page explains exactly what may be sent before you choose to use AI review.

What may be sent to AI

  • For optional final review, only minimized structural signals: the review-format version, selected form names, language, local rule identifier, section and structural field location, and locally assigned severity.
  • The version of the AI consent notice you accepted and a non-reversible hash of that notice. StatusShift does not send your consent receipt ID, user ID, or case ID.
  • Basic instructions that limit how the provider may respond.

What is not sent for AI review

  • Your saved answer values, including names, identification numbers, dates, addresses, immigration, family, travel, work, financial, medical, criminal, security, or persecution details.
  • Your case ID, user ID, password, payment card number, uploaded documents, or evidence.
  • The full decrypted intake or duplicated travel records.
  • Rule identifiers for sensitive identity-matching, eligibility, derivative-screening, fee-waiver and financial, or persecution-country travel checks. Those checks and their wording stay local.

Why we use AI

Local rules find the structural review signals. If provider review is available, AI may help phrase those already-identified signals in plain language.

Important limits

  • AI can be wrong or miss a problem.
  • AI does not provide legal advice.
  • AI does not replace your review, USCIS instructions, or advice from an immigration attorney or accredited representative.
  • You are responsible for checking the final packet before signing and mailing it.

Your choice

You must check the consent box before running the AI review. If you do not want AI review, do not check the box. Some non-AI parts of the app may still work, but AI features will not run without consent.

Adult account holder requirement

AI review is available only through an account used by a person who has confirmed that they are at least 18 years old. This is about the account holder, not the applicant. An adult may prepare forms involving a child, but a person under 18 may not use the account or AI feature.

Google Gemini and provider data handling

StatusShift is configured to use the Google Gemini Developer API, currently pinned to model gemini-3.7-flash (Gemini 3.7 Flash), for optional final review. Provider AI remains disabled unless active billing and paid-service terms are confirmed for the exact production project. Only after that confirmation, Google states that prompts and responses are not used to improve Google products and are processed under Google's applicable data-processing terms. By default, Google retains prompts, contextual information, and generated responses for 55 days for abuse monitoring; authorized Google personnel may review flagged content. When Google approves zero data retention for the exact project, Google says content and identifiable metadata are cleared before abuse logging, but sanitized non-identifiable records may remain. Optional Gemini project logging is separate from abuse monitoring and is treated as disabled only when exact-project evidence confirms it. Google may still keep or process limited usage, safety, and operational information for service operation, security, or legal obligations, including in countries where Google or its agents operate. StatusShift does not promise zero provider retention.

StatusShift sends minimized structural signals directly from the StatusShift server to the Google Gemini Developer API. Saved answer values are not sent. Provider calls require your current consent and a current adult account-holder attestation. StatusShift does not locally log AI prompts or responses. The review request is rejected before local review if the feature is disabled or if request consent, authentication, case ownership, adult-account-holder, locale, rate-limit, or another admission check fails. After local deterministic review starts, a missing or changed durable consent record, rejected provider input, provider error, or invalid provider output leaves only the local deterministic review. We will update this notice before a material provider, model, storage, or data-use change.
