# Report a privacy case anonymously

Submit any suspected or confirmed privacy case without having to disclose your identity using the Anonymous Reporting Center \(ARC\).

## Before you begin

Role required: To access Employee Center, you must have the sn\_privacy\_case.privacy\_case\_business\_user role.

## About this task

When submitting an anonymous report, don't include personal data about yourself or other individuals that could directly or indirectly reveal an identity. For example, do not include names, email addresses, or phone numbers.

Avoid including executable code, scripts, or unsupported special characters, which will be removed automatically during submission. For more information, refer to [Overview of Anonymous Reporting Center](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/governance-risk-compliance/grc-common-functions/grc-anonymous-reporting-center.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Self-Service** > **Employee Center**.

2.  On the Employee Center landing page, select the **Risk and compliance** tab.

3.  Select the **Visit Anonymous Report Center** card.

    You're signed out of your employee account to maintain anonymity.

4.  Select **Continue**.

5.  On the ARC landing page, select **Submit a report anonymously**.

6.  Select **Report a privacy case**.

7.  On the Report a Privacy Case form, fill in the fields.

    For a description of the field values, see [Anonymous privacy case form](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/governance-risk-compliance/privacy-workspace/anonymous-privacy-case-form.md).

8.  Enter the CAPTCHA verification code displayed on the screen in the **Text verification** field.

9.  Select **Submit**.

10. To save a PDF copy of your report, select **Download report copy**.

    **Note:** Save the report securely. The **Report key** and **Report number** are required to access updates or comments related to an anonymous report.


## Result

A privacy case is created and routed to the privacy case team for review. Your identity remains anonymous and is recorded as a guest. If the assigned case analyst needs more details, they might add comments to the report.

To respond to their comments, refer to [Follow up on a case anonymously](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/governance-risk-compliance/grc-common-functions/grc-follow-up-anonymously.md).
