| What is the World Bank's confidentiality policy? |
Complainants are requested to provide their name and telephone number, email or mailing address to enable us to obtain further information and to follow up on the report. If you choose to give us your name but want your name to remain confidential, the Bank will not reveal your name in any court or tribunal process and will not reveal any information that may disclose your identity to anyone outside the investigative team and its managers and attorneys unless the Bank determines you have made an intentional misrepresentation or omission, or the Bank is required to do so by law.Â

| What if I want to remain anonymous? |
| Â |
If you prefer to remain anonymous, the Bank may still investigate your complaint and do its best to examine the allegations that you provide. However, anonymous allegations are often more difficult to pursue and often do not fully address all of the complainant's concerns, but we respect your wish not to provide your name.
Note:Â In order to protect the reputations and privacy rights of all parties, and to promote due process and the fairness of investigations, it is important that the information you provide be truthful, accurate, and given in good faith. |
