Platform Safety Watch/Evidence handling
Confidential intake

How evidence is collected, stored and used

Encrypted before it leaves your browser. Read only by named reviewers. Never published in a way that re-identifies you without your written consent.

Encryption

What happens to your submission

Submissions travel through a single, narrow pipeline. Each stage has a published rule and a named owner.

STAGE 01

In your browser

The form encrypts the body of your submission before it leaves your device using a per-submission symmetric key.

STAGE 02

In transit

TLS 1.3 with HSTS preload. Server certificate transparency monitored continuously.

STAGE 03

At rest

Stored encrypted at rest in a Postgres cluster behind a firewall. Decryption keys are split between operations and review.

STAGE 04

In review

A named reviewer accesses a decrypted copy in a session that is fully audit-logged. The plaintext is not persisted to disk.

What we accept

Useful evidence - and evidence we will refuse

We are deliberately strict. The rules are public so you can decide before you spend the time.

Documented platform behaviour

Screenshots, chat exports, transaction records, complaint receipts, platform responses.

Pattern evidence

Multiple independent victim reports referencing the same handle / wallet / studio.

Independent journalism

Reporting from publications with a named editor, fact-check process and right-of-reply policy.

Refused - intimate content

We will not accept non-consensual intimate imagery in any form. Hash it via StopNCII or NCMEC and send the hash + context.

Refused - identifying minors

Do not send identifying material about any minor. Report to NCMEC / IWF / your national child-safety hotline first.

Refused - anonymous accusation

We will not act on accusations without underlying evidence and at least one verifiable identifier.

The intake is multi-step, you can save and return, and you can submit anonymously. Everything is encrypted at rest.
