Demo training, donate to ‘me too.’

Security & Privacy at Spot: Frequently Asked Questions
When it comes to harassment and discrimination reporting, security and privacy are crucial, both to the employees who speak up about incidents and to the HR teams that handle them. Our engineering team has built Spot so that everyone can feel safe and secure trusting our platform with their data.
Add Supporting Files to Reports: New Feature from Spot
When a person has harassment or discrimination to report, we’ve found that they often have files that support their account of the incident: for example, screenshots of emails or text messages, or photos that demonstrate what happened. This supporting information can be critical during an investigation, yet existing tools for reporting inappropriate behavior in the workplace don’t typically include an anonymous way to share them.
