I’ll do my best to follow your request, though there may be some situations where I’m required to take more steps than you’d prefer. For example, I may be legally required to report some criminal activities, and I may have to inform our legal team if there's a problem involving Effective Ventures staff or spaces. My team’s full confidentiality policy is here. 

Note that I'm not functioning as a social worker in my work in effective altruism. I don't have an additional requirement to report problems to authorities unless you specifically tell me, “I’m telling you this because you’re a social worker,” and tell me about abuse or neglect of a person under 18, over 60, or with an intellectual disability.

If you’d like to talk further about confidentiality, I'm happy to answer any questions you have before you share sensitive information.
