Share Anonymous News Tips

A Powerful Tool for News Organizations

How does your news organization collect tips from the general public? Your website? Facebook? Think of all the tips you're missing out on from people who wish to remain completely anonymous.

Even if you already have an anonymous feedback form on your website, you likely do not ask your respondents for their email address and keep it private. Plus, your server likely retains log files potentially identifying your users. Using a third-party tool like Incogneato is the best way to ensure your readers' anonymity.

Incogneato is a powerful tool to collect and respond to anonymous news tips. It's secure and very simple. Just create a box and post your unique URL. You can even create a custom URL like ansr.me/YourOrganization.

Privacy and Security

At Incogneato, we take anonymity seriously. To prove it, we've taken some big steps to safeguard your respondents' identities:

• We use 256-bit TLS encryption for all communication within Incogneato. That means only our server can understand what's being discussed. Anyone who tries to intercept information will simply see unreadable data.
• We encrypt respondents' email addresses (if they choose to include one). In the unlikely event that our database is broken into, your respondent's email address will be unreadable.
• Other than an encrypted email address (if they choose to include one), we do not retain any personal identifying information of those submitting a response.
• We have continuous threat monitoring in place and always keep our server software up to date.
