GlobaLeaks is a free, open-source whistleblowing platform that lets any organization set up and maintain a secure, anonymous reporting system. It is a self-contained Python/Angular web application with Tor Onion Service support, multilingual and accessibility-compliant interfaces, and compliance with EU whistleblowing directives and GDPR.

Use cases

  • set up an anonymous whistleblowing platform for my organization
  • receive anonymous corruption reports from employees
  • comply with EU Directive 2019/1937 whistleblower protection requirements
  • create a secure anonymous tip line for investigative journalism
  • self-host a secure reporting channel over Tor
  • set up an ethics and compliance reporting hotline
  • allow citizens to report wrongdoing to a public agency anonymously

When to choose

  • you need a battle-tested, independently audited anonymous reporting platform
  • you must comply with EU whistleblowing directives, GDPR, or ISO 37002
  • you want Tor Onion Service anonymity and strong encryption by default
  • you need multilingual (90+ languages) and WCAG 2.2 accessible reporting
  • you want a self-hosted, self-contained solution with Debian packaging and REST API

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose survey or feedback form tool rather than confidential whistleblowing
  • you cannot run a Linux server or manage ongoing security updates
  • you want a lightweight SaaS-only solution without self-hosting responsibilities
  • your use case is public, non-confidential suggestion collection with no anonymity needs
