Protecting your digital footprint.
Technical anonymity is a partnership. While our systems are designed to hide your identity, your local habits matter.
Why use the Tor Browser?
Standard browsers (Chrome/Safari) and ISPs can track your visit to this site. Tor masks your IP address, making your visit to our portal invisible to outside observers.
What is "Metadata"?
Photos and documents often contain hidden data (location, time, device ID). We recommend scrubbing metadata before uploading files.
Should I use my work computer?
No. Never use work-issued devices, Wi-Fi, or VPNs to access aktie.earth. Use a personal device and a private network.
What happens to my 16-digit code?
This code is your only way to track your report and chat with our triage team. We cannot recover it if lost. Keep it in a safe, non-digital place.
