# How to make anonymous responses possible

If you have created a public CrowdNewsroom, i.e. one that is freely accessible to everyone, you can also make completely anonymous responses possible. Guest participants are not asked for their contact details as a result.

To allow anonymous resonses, simply disable the toggle *Collect contact information*

**Important:** Logged-in active members must first log out of their account in order to participate anonymously. Otherwise their answers will be linked to their contact details.

**Tip:** Do you want to allow anonymous responses, but still ask people to freely provide a name or email address for follow-up reporting? Try adding a text field inside the CrowdNewsroom to collect custom contact information.
