How we Protect your Identity
WorkInConfidence works hard to protect your identity when using the system, including:
- We guarantee that we will never reveal your identity to your organisation, manager or anyone else unless a court requires us to do so (because an illegal act has been committed).
- Your organisation will never know who has and who has not registered for WorkInConfidence.
- All information that is sent between your browser and our servers is encrypted – look for the certificate details at the top of the page.
- All sensitive information, including your messages, is encrypted before being stored on our servers. Your employers have no access to this information.

How you can Protect your Identity
You can also help to keep your identity secure by:
- not including any personal information in your messages that might help to identify you, such as your location.
- making sure that you are not being overlooked when you write your message.
- thinking about sending your message from outside of work – you can access the system from anywhere once you have successfully registered.

How we Secure WorkInConfidence
WorkInConfidence recognises the importance of maintaining the anonymity of users and the security of the system in general.
This page sets out some of the steps that WorkInConfidence have taken to ensure that data remains safe and secure and that the privacy of individuals is maintained.
Where security is outside of our direct control, such as hosted servers, WorkInConfidence takes steps to ensure that security is of an equal or greater standard than we would provide if we were providing the service directly.
- All aspects of data security are included in both employee and contractor contracts.
- Data transferred between the client and server is encrypted using SSL.
- All companies have their information and dialogues in separate databases.
- Sensitive data, including messages, is encrypted in the database.
- All passwords are salted and hashed.
- The system insists that users select strong passwords.
- Where data is held outside of the EU, WorkInConfidence only hosts in countries and companies that comply with safe harbour provisions.
If you have any concerns regarding security or would like to request a copy of our full security provisions document please contact us here.
