Consider digital safety before making changes
Account and device changes need context when someone may be monitoring you.
Technology can be part of a wider pattern
If someone may monitor your device or accounts, seek specialist advice about safe ways to access help. Suddenly changing settings may alert them.
A careful first step
Consider whether you have access to a device the person cannot monitor before researching a plan. Do not assume private browsing removes every trace.
Use specialist guidance
The eSafety Commissioner provides a checklist for technology-facilitated abuse. Read it in a way that fits your circumstances, with support where possible. This lesson does not ask you to reset accounts, remove tracking or confront someone.
