SECURE TIP LINE

See something wrong? Tell us safely.

A channel for people who need to report wrongdoing without exposing themselves. We ask for no name, no email, and no phone number, we don’t store your IP address, and your message is encrypted the moment it’s saved.

✅ What we do

  • Ask for nothing about who you are
  • Store no IP address and no device info in our records
  • Encrypt your message at rest (a database leak can’t read it)
  • Let only a small review team read tips, to act on them
  • Point real evidence into Red Flags, Civic News, and reports

⚠️ Honest limits — please read

  • No website can promise perfect anonymity
  • Your internet provider and our host can still see network traffic — we don’t control that
  • Details only an insider would know can identify you — keep it general
  • This is not end-to-end encryption; our review team can read tips
  • Don’t upload files here — photos/documents carry hidden data that can unmask you
If your safety or freedom is truly at risk, a civic website is not enough. Use the Tor Browser on a device that isn’t linked to you, and consider SecureDrop — the audited system major newsrooms use for sources (find one at securedrop.org/directory). You may also want to talk to a whistleblower attorney before you share anything.

Text only. Please don’t upload files here — photos and documents carry hidden data that can identify you.
