Browsing safely
If someone may be monitoring your devices, use a computer or phone that person cannot access, such as one at a library, a workplace, or a trusted friend's home. Clearing your history can itself look suspicious, so think through what is safest for you.
- Use a private or incognito browser window when you can.
- The Safety Exit button on this site leaves immediately and replaces this page in your history.
- Text-based hotlines can be quieter than a phone call if someone is nearby.
- Check whether location sharing, shared accounts, or family plans are turned on.
