## What it is
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
