For Your Own Safety
When you search for information or communicate online, your history and activities can leave traces on your computer. Erasing your online and computer history is not always 100% effective. Instead, use a computer that an abuser does not have access to such as at work, the library or a friend or family members.
If this is not an option for you and you are in a safe place, you can also call our 24-hour support line 1-866-662-4220 to speak with a trained advocate.
The following steps will help increase safety:
- Do not store passwords and change your password(s) often.

TIP: Delete emails from your “Send, Outbox” and “Deleted Items” boxes. Empty your “Recycle” or “Trash Bin” on your computer located on the desktop. - Erase online history.
