Four design principles

Digital safety is personal safety.

Choice over commands

You know your situation best. A checklist should offer options, never pressure.

Evidence before erasure

Documenting access, messages, or devices may matter before settings change.

Safer device first

Research and account recovery may be safer from a device the other person cannot access.

Support changes outcomes

Advocates can help connect technology choices to housing, legal, financial, and physical safety.

United States support

You deserve help without judgment.

If you are in immediate danger, contact 911 when it is safe to do so. An advocate can help you think through a personalized safety plan.
