Did you know that most states have an address confidentiality program? By signing up, you can protect others from finding out your address. This is really effective if you recently moved homes or relocated. Other ways to stay safe include telling friends and family not to share your address, and being cautious around giving out information to local businesses.

Did you know that spyware can be installed on ever

Did you know that spyware can be installed on everyday devices like webcams, personal assistants (such as Google Home or Alexa), or security systems. Everyday devices or gifts may be able to be secured by changing account settings or passwords. Built-in web cameras can be covered up with a piece of removable tape (although this only addresses the camera, not the spyware on the computer). Remember to consider making a safety plan and documenting evidence before removing devices or cutting off an abusive person’s access.

If the person seems to always know where you are,

If the person seems to always know where you are, they might be tracking you through your mobile device, your vehicle, or by using a location tracker. You can check your mobile devices, apps, and accounts to see if location sharing is turned on, and update the settings to best suit your needs. You can also call your mobile phone provider to ask if any location sharing services are in use, especially if you were/are on a family plan with the person. Location tracking through your car might be through a roadside assistance or safe driver service. If you are concerned about a hidden tracking device in your car or other belongings, a law enforcement agency, private investigator, or a car mechanic may be able to check for you. It’s important to safety plan and document evidence before removing a device or changing an abusive person’s access to your location information.

Here's ways you can help a friend that is experiencing dating violence:
1. Don't put conditions on your support.
2. Encourage them to get help & share resource info with them.
3. Be there to listen.
4. Don't victim blame.
5. Call police if you witness physical abuse

If you suspect that your actual device is being monitored, the safest thing may be to get a new device with an account that the abusive person doesn’t have access to. A pay-as-you-go phone is a less expensive option. Put a passcode on the new device, and don’t link it to your old cloud accounts like iCloud or Google that the person might have access to. Consider turning off location and Bluetooth sharing. You also might keep the old device so that the person thinks you are still using it, and doesn’t try to get access to the new device.
