Frequently asked questions

No. Satya never asks for your name, phone number, email or address, and there is no account to create. Please don’t write your name in the description either.

We don’t try to, and we don’t store your IP address with your report. There are no advertising or analytics trackers on this site, and hidden location data is removed from photos before upload.

However, like every website, our hosting and storage providers can see technical connection data. If the risk is high, use Tor Browser. See our safety guide.

No. Reports are not published on this website and cannot be seen by the public. Only the Satya team can read them, through a secured, password-protected system.

Pressing “Quick exit” at the top of every page — or pressing Esc twice on a keyboard — immediately opens Google, and the Back button won’t return to this page. The site may still appear in your browser history, so use a private window.

Any corruption in government or public services: bribery, extortion, embezzlement, tender fraud, recruitment fraud, land grabbing, exam and certificate fraud, police abuse, fake medicine, tax fraud, diverted relief or allowances, and more. You can also report private companies when public money or officials are involved.

Specific facts: which office, which area, the job titles of those involved, approximate dates, amounts of money and how the corruption works. Evidence (photos, receipts, recordings) helps a lot. We can’t contact you to ask questions, so include everything important the first time.

Photos (JPG, PNG, HEIC and more), video (MP4, MOV and more), audio (MP3, M4A, WAV, AMR and more) and documents (PDF, Word, Excel, TXT). Up to 10 files per report. Photos and documents up to 10 MB each, video and audio up to 100 MB.

After submitting you get a code like SB-XXXX-XXXX. If you later have more information or evidence, submit a new report and enter the code under “Is this a follow-up to an earlier report?” — we will link the two together. Don’t share the code with anyone.

No problem. Submit a new report and mention the approximate date and title of the earlier one in the description.

No — because we hold nothing that identifies you, there is no way to prove a report is yours. If you need to correct something, send a follow-up report with your reference code.

The Satya team reviews every report confidentially. We may use verified information to raise the issue with journalists, civil-society organisations or the appropriate authorities — never with anything that could identify you. Together, many reports also help reveal patterns of corruption.

Because you are completely anonymous, we have no way to contact you. That is also your strongest protection.

No. Satya is an independent, non-partisan initiative. It is not part of any government agency or political party. If you want an official government investigation, you can also complain to the Anti-Corruption Commission (hotline 106) — see Resources.

Sharing truthful information in the public interest is a basic civic right. Bangladesh’s Public Interest Information Disclosure (Provide Protection) Act, 2011 protects people who disclose wrongdoing in good faith to an appropriate authority. Please never make false accusations — they harm innocent people.
