How to Stay Safe Online and on Your Phone
If you are experiencing abuse, your partner or abuser may be watching your online activity. These steps can help you seek help more safely.
Be Aware of Monitoring
Your partner or abuser may be checking your email, your internet use, and your phone.
Find A Safe Space
Use a safe computer outside your home, such as one at a library, shelter, business center, or workplace.
Make a Safety Plan
On a safe computer, set up a new email account to make your plans and seek help. Keep your password private.
Communicate Safely
Remember that text messages and call histories can be checked on your phone.
Browse Safely
Clear your internet history after looking for help.
Stay Discreet
If you can, use a different phone and delete numbers as soon as a call ends.
Use Caution Online
Be careful what you share on social media, as it can reach almost anyone, and your abuser may have access to your accounts. Please do NOT message us through social media, and always keep your passwords private.
