Is my anonymity guaranteed?
If you choose to use the Red Button app anonymously, then the recipient of your report will not know who you are. The only thing the recipient of your report will know is that you are a professional footballer.
How do I use the Red Button app?
The app has a very clear and easy-to-use interface. Simply fill in all the fields. The app also gives you the possibility to add proof such as documents, photos, audio and video recordings.
In principle, each report is anonymous. There is a possibility to indicate that you can be contacted if investigators would like to obtain more information. This is voluntary.
Can someone tell if I have used the Red Button app?
No. After submitting your report, the Red Button app ensures that no trace will be left on your smartphone. The Red Button app was among others tested by Interpol, whose experts were unable to hack it or obtain any information from it.
What happens with my report?
In each country, the local player association together with security experts and FIFPRO has assessed which parties are the safest to receive the reports submitted with the Red Button app. These designated national authorities could include police and government anti-corruption units.
FIFPRO will also receive the submitted information, which FIFPRO can decide to share with the FIFA Integrity department for an investigation.
