Over 1,000 files consisting of identification cards (including driver's licenses, passports, military IDs, visas, birth certificates, insurance cards and more) uploaded onto GiveSendGo's publicly accessible Amazon-hosted S3 bucket in a sub-directory apparently labeled "legacy/stripe_document". The IDs seem to belong to crowdfund creators, rather than donors.

"legacy/stripe_document". The IDs seem to belong to crowdfund creators, rather than donors.

As the majority of the files on the S3 bucket are merely part of GiveSendGo's website, they are being excluded from the release. A tiny number of files appear unrelated to the others (such as a lighthouse or videogame screenshot), but are included for completeness for researchers wishing to research how GiveSendGo functions, as well as its users.

Due to PII in the dataset and the inclusion of campaigns not involved in violence or extremism, the dataset is only being offered to journalists and researchers.

Note that this is unrelated to the February 2021 leak of donor information.
