When digital privacy doesn't feel private
When digital privacy doesn't feel private.
If you think someone may be monitoring your devices, location, accounts, email, or online activity, specialized support may be safer than generic tech advice.
You don't have to figure this out alone, and sudden technology changes may not be safe in every situation.
What this page can and can't do
This page doesn't give technical counter-surveillance instructions. Changing settings, deleting history, removing apps, or resetting a device can be visible to someone monitoring you, and may not be safe in every situation. Specialized support can help you think through options that fit yours.
If someone is controlling or monitoring you
If someone is controlling, monitoring, threatening, isolating, or restricting your access to devices, accounts, money, communication, or information, a specialized support provider may help you consider options that fit your situation. You don't have to fit someone else's idea of what this looks like before asking.
If you think this device may be accessed
If you think someone may access this device, browser history, email, accounts, or downloads, consider using a safer device or private way to seek help when possible. You can come back when you're ready.
What not to assume
Private browsing, deleted history, a VPN, or a changed password is not a safety guarantee in every situation.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
If you're in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number when it's safe to do so.
