Your privacy matters. Your safety comes first.
When a partner demands passwords, monitors your location, floods you with messages, or threatens to share private images, technology can become another source of pressure. Understanding your options can help you take the next step with greater clarity and support.
Digital Safety When a Relationship Feels Unsafe by Louise Blount is a compassionate, research-informed guide to recognizing digital control and making thoughtful choices about privacy. It explains why changing settings should fit your personal safety plan, especially when removing access could alert an unsafe person.
