Abusers can find behavior patterns by viewing connected subscriptions. If you have children or other family members that you share accounts with, check to see if your abuser could have access to those accounts.

Ex: Google Photos, iCloud, Google Drive, Amazon, TV, music, grocery, and retail subscriptions

Internet usage can be monitored and is impossible to erase completely. If you are concerned that your internet usage might be monitored, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE.

Strategically plan around your tech- When abusers misuse technology to monitor you, it’s often a natural reaction to want to throw away devices or close online accounts to make it stop. However, some abusive individuals may escalate their controlling and dangerous behavior if they feel they’ve lost access to the victim.

Before removing a hidden camera or GPS tracker that you’ve found, think through how the abuser may respond and plan for your safety. For example, some survivors choose to use a safer device for certain interactions, but also keep using the monitored device as a way to collect evidence.
