Is your phone or accounts being watched?

One thing our team knows well — this is the part where a security background actually helps.

Abuse today can run through technology: hidden tracking apps, location sharing left on, a shared cloud or phone plan, or an account the other person can still get into. If something feels off, a trusted advocate can help you make a plan — please don’t rip a tracking app off suddenly on your own, as that can alert the person at the most dangerous moment. For clear, survivor-first guidance, see techsafety.org (from the National Network to End Domestic Violence). The hotlines above can walk through it with you.
