Why would I submit a case?
By submitting a case, you are helping to contribute to our growing documentation of workplace surveillance, helping to make surveillance practices more transparent. Workers (you!) deserve to know if, when, and how they are being surveilled. Your story may help another worker facing a similar situation as you, or simply serve as a space for you to express your concerns, frustrations, or feelings.
What happens when I submit a case?
When you submit a case, it goes into a private and secure table only accessed and managed by our team. If you choose to provide an email, we will try to respond to your case within two weeks of its submission. Otherwise, if you do not choose to include an email, but do want the case to go into our tracker, we will anonymize the case and add it to the tracker within one month of its submission. Cases will only be added to the tracker with your explicit consent as indicated on the form.
More tips for case submission:
DO:
- Tell us about your experience with workplace surveillance.
- (If possible and if you are comfortable) provide evidence such as screenshots of a bossware monitoring system, photos of cameras in your office, or other non-confidential materials that demonstrate workplace surveillance practices.
- If you want to contact us and remain anonymous, consider creating an anonymous email account via Proton Mail.
- Use your first or last name.
- Provide or send us emails from a work email or email used on a work device.
- Submit a case or use our website while on a work device.
