The most secure way to reach us: end-to-end encrypted messages and calls. Turn on disappearing messages before you share anything sensitive.
Keep yourself safe
No way of contacting us is completely secure, but these steps lower the risk.
Devices
Use your own device
Don’t contact us from a work phone, computer, email account, or network. Your employer may be able to see that activity.
Signal
Hide your number
Signal lets you set a username, so you can message us without sharing your phone number. Turn on disappearing messages, too.
Documents
Strip the metadata
Files can carry details about who made them, when, and where. Send screenshots or photos of documents instead of the original files.
