Whispli assures your anonymity by scrubbing your IP address so it will never be passed onto the Organisation. To further enhance your security, please follow these steps:

  • In the event that you would like to remain anonymous, do not submit any personal information (e.g. your name or relationship to the offender).
  • Do not submit any information that can be traced back to you. Ensure that you remove all personal information from attachments you may send via Whispli (including personal details in the “File Name” and “properties” of the documents sent).
  • Make sure that the secure internet connection (SSL) is displayed by the green lock symbol (in the url section).
  • Enter the Whispli app only from a personal device or an internet cafe/lounge that is not connected to your Organisation network. Some Organisations do track employees activity on their work devices and this may jeopardise your anonymity.
