How we protect you

WorkTruth exists so people can describe what happened at work without exposing themselves. Here is exactly what that means in practice.

Your raw story is not published

The words you tell WorkTruth are not shown publicly. Only a sanitised version, which you review first, can be contributed.

Identifying information is removed

Before anything can be contributed, personal details such as names, email addresses and phone numbers are removed from the version prepared for contribution.

Contributions may be moderated

Anonymous contributions go through a safety and moderation process before they can contribute to workplace intelligence.

Workplace signals need enough information

We only show a workplace signal when there are enough independent eligible experiences to reduce the risk of one person defining the picture. Otherwise we say there isn't enough information yet.

Verification changes confidence, not truth

Verification may increase confidence that a contribution genuinely relates to a workplace. It does not prove that any individual experience is factually true, and WorkTruth never claims it does.

No accusations against individuals

WorkTruth does not publish accusations against named managers or employees. Readings describe workplace conditions, never individual people.

You stay in control

You choose whether an experience stays private to you or is contributed anonymously. Nothing is contributed unless you approve it.

This describes how WorkTruth is built today. It is not a legal guarantee, and no system can promise that a story cannot be recognised by someone who was present — please leave out details you would not want recognised.
