What this platform is

Campus Integrity Reporting Platform is a secure intake channel for complaints about corruption, misconduct, and institutional failures at tertiary institutions in SouthEast Nigeria. Complaints are reviewed by trained admins. We do not publish complaints publicly.

How anonymity works

Every submission requires a name and either an email or a phone number. This lets reviewers follow up and prevents abuse of the platform. What changes between modes is how your identity is handled internally and externally:

• Confidential. Your details are stored securely inside the platform but never shared with the institution being reported, and your name is not included in any external report. Only authorised reviewers can unseal your identity, and each unsealing is logged in an audit trail.
• Identified. You agree that your identity may be disclosed to the institution and recorded in the case file if the investigation requires it. Choose this only when you are comfortable being named.

You can switch from Identified to Confidential up until you submit. After submission, only an admin can change the mode.

How data is stored

• Complainant identity is stored in a separate database table with restricted access.
• Evidence files are kept in a private storage bucket. Admins access them via short-lived signed URLs.
• IP addresses and user-agents are hashed before storage. The raw values are never retained.
• Every sensitive admin action (viewing identity, downloading evidence, changing status) is recorded in an audit log.

Your rights

Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 you have the right to be informed, to access, rectify, object, restrict, port, or erase your personal data. To exercise these rights or request removal of a submission, contact us through the contact page.
