Privacy & Safety Policy
Our Commitment to Survivors
This tracker exists to support survivors' calls for transparency while protecting their privacy and dignity. We follow the same principles outlined in H.R. 4405 for victim protection.
Core Privacy Principles
1. Automatic Protection of Minors
We never publish, share, or speculate about the identities of any individuals who were minors at the time of alleged crimes. This mirrors the automatic redaction provisions in H.R. 4405.
2. Adult Survivor Choice
We only reference adult survivors who have chosen to speak publicly. We respect the opt-in principle: survivors control their own narratives.
3. No Doxxing or Harassment
We provide official office phone numbers only. We never share personal information, home addresses, or private contact details of any representatives or individuals.
4. Trauma-Informed Language
We use respectful, non-sensational language when discussing trafficking and abuse. We prioritize survivor dignity over engagement metrics.
Safety Guidelines for Advocates
When contacting representatives or sharing information:
- Be respectful: Staff members are doing their jobs. Harassment hurts the cause.
- Focus on process: Talk about the discharge petition and framework, not speculation.
- Protect victims: Never share unverified claims about victims or perpetrators.
- Use official channels: Only call official office numbers during business hours.
- Document professionally: Report responses factually without personal attacks.
⚠️ Important Warning
Never attempt to:
- Contact representatives at their homes
- Share conspiracy theories or unverified claims
- Name alleged victims who haven't come forward publicly
- Engage in or encourage harassment of any kind
- Use violent or threatening language
Such actions harm survivors and damage the legitimate push for transparency.
