Why anonymous reporting matters — and how bribery.fyi protects you
People stay silent about bribes for one honest reason: fear of what happens if they speak. So we built the site so that there is nothing to trace back to you.
Anonymity by design, not by promise
Many sites promise privacy and then quietly keep logs that could unmask you. We took the opposite approach: the safest data is the data that was never collected. If a record does not exist, it cannot leak, be subpoenaed, or be sold.
What we never collect
- No account. No sign-up, no login, no email or phone to report.
- No IP address. Your IP is never written to disk. We keep only a salted one-way hash to slow spam — it cannot be turned back into an address.
- No precise time or location. Only a coarse month and a city, so nothing points to a single visit.
- No names published. We record the office and department, never an individual.
What happens to your words
Before a human ever reads a report, phone numbers, emails and names are automatically stripped out. A person then reviews it, and only an anonymized version — the office, the place, the amount, the wait — becomes public. If anything could identify you or someone else, it is held or removed. If in doubt, we hold.
Why anonymous accounts still count
One anonymous report is a story. A thousand of them is evidence. Because everyone can report without risk, the data captures what named complaints never do: the quiet, routine demands most people would never file a formal case over. That volume is exactly what makes a pattern visible.
You do not have to be brave to help. You only have to spend a minute putting one more account on the record — safely.
No account, no name, no IP address. One minute, in your language.
