About This Site
What this is
Capitalist Watch is a community-driven accountability tool for reports about bosses, landlords, property managers, companies, and other people with economic power over workers or tenants. Reports are user-generated and unverified, so they should be treated as leads for awareness and further research rather than as proven facts.
How to use this information
Everything on this site is user-generated and unverified. We do not investigate, confirm, or endorse any claim. If you come across a name here, treat it as a starting point for your own research before renting, working, organizing, contracting, or otherwise engaging with that person or entity.
Legal & safety notice
This site does not replace legal advice, tenant unions, labor organizers, regulators, courts, or emergency services. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
Privacy & data collection
We collect almost nothing. Your privacy is central to how Capitalist Watch works.
- No accounts, no emails, no passwords. You never sign up or log in.
- No IP addresses are stored. We never record your IP address in the database, logs, or anywhere else. (A temporary IP check is used only for rate limiting – it is never saved and expires within 60 seconds.)
- No cookies are used for tracking. We only store a random, anonymous ID in your browser's local storage to enforce rate limits (max 3 reports per hour). This ID is not linked to any personal information and cannot be used to identify you.
- What you see in browser dev tools is the same data that is displayed on the page: the report subject, location, written report text, and timestamp. There is no hidden data that can re‑identify submitters.
- The `submitter_uuid` field that appears in the raw API response is a random, one‑time identifier. It cannot be linked to your real identity or IP address. It is only used to prevent spam (3 submissions per hour). You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's local storage.
In short: we don't know who you are, and we don't want to. Your safety and anonymity are the whole point.
