Frequently Asked Questions

Do administrators need to be on 24/7?

No. The organization / administrator is immediately notified of a new report submitted. The person sending the message receives a customized autoreply instantly which may include details on when to expect a response. It’s up to the administrator to determine the communications process.

Are threads anonymous?

Yes. No identifiable information is displayed to administrators, and it is not shared. Administrators do not have access to user data. All traffic going over the network is encrypted using secure protocols.

Is it really a two-way communication?

Yes. The platform enables anonymous, two-way communications. Other anonymous communications tools are often one-way, making it difficult to follow up on specific details related to a comment or report. In this case, the communication flow is two-way so that both parties can continue the conversation for as long as needed without compromising the reporting person’s identity.

Does RealResponse see the message content?

No. RealResponse does not look at messages and does not share them. The RealResponse system blocks access to the content of all reports so that even RealResponse administrators cannot view the content. It is highly restricted information.

Do Anonymous Threads generate dashboards?

Yes. Clients receive a dynamically generated dashboard that captures usage metrics, common threads of discussion, and summarizes all recent activity. This can be viewed at any time, and users can compare data from previous periods of use to prior years to understand what’s working and what’s not.
