Data minimisation
Collect only what a defined prevention, protection or programme decision needs.
Privacy, Data & Ethics
People first. We only analyse what leads to safer action.
We work in sensitive migration and protection settings, so how we collect, store, analyse and publish information is shaped by confidentiality and respect for survivors.
Purpose limitation
Do not reuse sensitive data merely because it is available.
Confidentiality
Limit access. Never disclose survivors’ identities, contacts or private locations.
Aggregated evidence
Publish trends, scam patterns and anonymous findings.
Do not publish unnecessarily
Sensitive details never belong in public communication.
- Names or direct identifiers of survivors without informed consent.
- Passport, national ID or immigration-document details.
- Private addresses or exact locations that could create risk.
- Medical or psychosocial details not needed for the purpose.
- Case photos or stories used mainly for publicity or fundraising.
Our data promiseCollect less. Protect more.
- Only the data a decision needs
- Consent first
- Restricted access
- Totals and patterns, never names
Data lifecycle
Consent → Protect → Aggregate → Review → Act.
Safeguarding isn’t a last check before publishing. It starts before we ask the first question.
Public forms are not emergency reporting channels.
Please don’t send passport numbers, ID documents, exact private locations, medical records or detailed case information through public website forms.
