safety and anonymity

what anonymous does and does not mean, and what to do when a recording causes concern.

anonymous, not private

the archive does not publicly display a submitter account or identity. it does not promise that nobody can identify a speaker. a familiar voice, a name, an event, background sound or voluntarily spoken detail may be enough. technical systems also process a random session cookie, keyed abuse identifiers and ordinary network requests, and lawful process can require a response.

before leaving one

  • do not say an address, phone number, workplace, school, account credential or other identifying detail;
  • do not include somebody else's voice unless you have permission or another lawful basis required where you are;
  • assume a public recording can be copied, shared and heard outside the audience you imagined;
  • keep the private withdrawal link if you want the direct capability to remove that note later;
  • do not use this service for an emergency, crisis response or guaranteed delivery.

if this concerns you

you do not need an account or the submitter's private link to raise a safety, privacy, impersonation, unauthorised-recording, copyright or legal complaint. use the report page. share only the detail needed to locate and understand the issue. urgent danger belongs with local emergency services, not this form.

grievance contact

grievance officer: Prateek Panwar. contact: hello@hane.studio. the form issues a case reference immediately. an emailed response is possible only when you choose to provide a working address.
