Report concerns about:
  • Security & Privacy: Vulnerabilities, breaches, unauthorized access, privacy violations
  • Compliance & Legal: Law violations (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.), fraud, conflicts of interest
  • Ethics & Workplace: Discrimination, harassment, unsafe conditions, retaliation
  • Other: Environmental violations, misuse of resources, any serious concerns
If you’re unsure whether something should be reported, err on the side of reporting it. Good-faith reports are protected even if no wrongdoing is found.

​
How to Report

Email: legal@abv.dev You can report anonymously using an anonymous email service (ProtonMail, etc.) or request anonymity in your report. While anonymous reports are accepted, providing contact information helps us ask follow-up questions and keep you updated. Include in your report:
  • What happened, when, where, and who is involved
  • Evidence (emails, screenshots, logs) if available
  • How you became aware of the issue

​
Confidentiality and Protection

Confidentiality:
  • Reports are restricted to legal/compliance team and relevant investigators
  • Your identity is protected and shared only on a need-to-know basis
  • Reports are stored securely with access logging
Non-Retaliation Policy: ABV has a strict non-retaliation policy. No adverse employment actions will be taken against whistleblowers. If you experience retaliation, report it immediately to legal@abv.dev. Retaliation will result in severe consequences for the retaliator. Good Faith: Protection applies to good-faith reports (genuine concerns, not malicious false accusations), even if they turn out to be unfounded.

​
External Reporting

You have the right to report concerns to external authorities (data protection authorities, employment commissions, law enforcement, etc.). Reporting externally doesn’t void our non-retaliation policy. Consider external reporting if internal reporting hasn’t resolved the issue, senior leadership is involved, or there’s immediate danger.

​
For ABV Employees

Employees can access our detailed internal Whistleblowing Policy (internal documentation). You can also report to your manager, HR, or the security team (security@abv.dev) depending on the nature of the concern.
