Does a petition form I create on your site work the same as, lets say, a survey form?

Does a petition template I create on your site work the same as, lets say, a survey form? There are a lot of "gotopetition" like sites out there that I'm sure use submitted data in all kinds of creative ways, but I'm trying to get around that. Do you have customers that use your system for petitions? 

Thank you,

Greg

JotForm forms work for any sort of form you would like to create.  There is no difference between intent of forms.  Any data created through the form is stored and available from the submission page, regardless of the type of form:
