PII Advice To Protect Sexual Assault Survivors

Help us to protect sexual assault survivors information.

Posted May 24, 2021

Background & Context

iiDecide is an app designed to help support and empower survivors of rape, sexual assault and sexual harassment, by connecting them anonymously with other survivors who share the same abuser.

Immediate Problem

We need to make sure we're compliant with PII regulations and following best practices - as we'll be holding data pertaining to both app users (victims and survivors), as well as offenders (information logged by app users).

Work & Deliverables

Advise on PII compliance and best practices. App users will be global, with the majority being based in the US and UK.

Project Plan

Preparation Phase

iiDecide

iiDecide is an app that helps survivors and victims of sexual assault and sufferers of inappropriate behavior log incidents of harassment, threats and abuse. Users then have the option of connecting anonymously with other members of the iiDecide community who have encountered the same offender. These connections serve to empower - reducing feelings of isolation and arming users with both information, support and confidence as they consider their next steps. With iiDecide, our goal is to change people’s attitudes and behaviors - bringing sexual abuse and harassment to the forefront of the collective consciousness. To draw attention to the abuse suffered by women, by the lgbtqia2+ community, by people of color, by indigenous communities, by college students and by men. To redefine the cultural zeitgeist. Our primary purpose is to empower victims and survivors. To allow individuals to be heard, encouraging conversations of understanding and support in a safe environment. By connecting victims we can provide a support network of allies and people to talk to. We also have a secondary purpose - of deterring abusive behavior and outing abusers. We want to de-stigmatize sexual crimes and change the perception that they are solely a female issue. They are a global, human issue that affects every person on earth and the responsibility lies with each of us to acknowledge that.
