Whether you’re using the Simply Report app, exploring how to report trafficking, or concerned about privacy, this FAQ is here to help clarify your next steps and rights.

General Questions

What is Simply Report?

Simply Report is a free, privacy-conscious reporting app developed by Safe House Project. It allows individuals to submit tips about suspected trafficking safely, while protecting the identities of both the reporter and the individual suspected to be in danger.

How can I report trafficking using Simply Report?

You can report trafficking directly through the Simply Report app or submit a tip anonymously via our Report Trafficking page.

Will anyone follow up with me after I report?

No. Simply Report is designed to protect your privacy. If law enforcement determines follow-up is needed, they will proceed through appropriate channels—without direct contact unless you’ve chosen to share your information.

How does Simply Report protect survivors' rights?

Simply Report was built to center survivor autonomy. Adult survivors choose whether to include their identity. In cases involving minors or mandated reporting, reports are routed to the appropriate authorities while protecting sensitive data as much as possible. This approach honors survivors while ensuring public safety.

Safety & Anonymity

Will my identity be protected?

Simply Report does not store your identity, location, or personal information unless you voluntarily share it. Any information provided is encrypted and handled with care, in alignment with trauma-informed safety protocols. In situations involving minors, certain information may need to be shared discreetly to ensure safety and comply with legal guidelines.

Can my report be traced?

No. Simply Report does not store IP addresses, device IDs, or GPS data. However, if a report involves a minor or an immediate threat, certain information may be shared as required by law.

Will I get updates about my report?

To protect survivors and investigations, Simply Report does not share updates on individual reports. But every tip contributes to ongoing prevention and response efforts.
