Who we are

Log Now Decide Later provides survivors of sexual assault with a private, anonymous space to document what happened to them on their own terms through the Log Now web app.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Log Now web app.

The Log Now web app 

The Log Now web app is designed for survivor choice, privacy, and control:

  • Create a log without answering any questions, including submitting a blank log;

  • Skip any question;

  • Write anything you want in a private text box;

  • Use a unique access code to return to your private text box to read, edit, delete, or add more;

  • View and optionally answer 6 demographic questions;

  • View and optionally answer 4 barriers to service questions about if you reported, and if you accessed medical, mental health, and legal services;

  • View and optionally answer whether it happened within the past year or more than a year ago.

The Log Now web app is not

  • Not a report to law enforcement;

  • Not a report to a school;

  • Not a Title IX report;

  • Not a report to a court;

  • Not medical care;

  • Not therapy or counseling;

  • Not legal advice or legal representation;

  • Not an emergency service.

Emergency / immediate danger disclaimer

If you are in immediate danger or need emergency assistance, contact emergency services or a trusted local crisis resource. 

Log Now Decide Later is not monitored as an emergency service and cannot provide immediate assistance.

Privacy and anonymity

  • No account;

  • No username;

  • No email required;

  • No contact information required;

  • The private text box is designed to be accessible only with your code;

  • Lost codes cannot be recovered.

Log Now Decide Later and partner organizations do not have access to and cannot read your private text box.

Optional Data We Collect

We collect aggregated responses to the optional demographic, barrier, timing, feedback, and “Other” write-in responses.  

Optional demographic, barrier, timing, and “Other” write-in responses are stored separately from the private text box and are not designed to be linked back to it.

Optional feedback write-in responses are stored separately from the private text box and from the optional demographic, barrier, and timing responses.

Use of Optional Data 

Optional demographic, barrier, and timing responses may be used to: 

  • Understand barriers survivors face to reporting and accessing medical, mental health, and legal services. 

  • Understand how different survivor identities affect reporting and seeking medical, counseling, and legal services. 

Optional feedback write-in responses may be used to: 

  • Better understand community needs

Optional data will not be displayed unless at least 10 submissions have been received. 

Suppressed results will display as: “Not enough data to display safely.”

Log Now Decide Later and, where applicable, partner organizations connected to the community link used, may view the optional aggregated responses.

Access code

You are responsible for saving your access code.

If your access code is lost, Log Now Decide Later cannot recover it or restore access to your private text box.

  • Do not attack, scrape, reverse engineer, or disrupt the Log Now web app;
