Clear browsing and search history as often as you can.
Change all passwords and do not enable “remember my password”.
When setting up or changing your password, choose a secret question that is unknown to the abuser.
Do not accept friend requests from unknown users and confirm the identity of known users before accepting the request. It is very easy for someone to make a fake account or pretend to be someone else.
Go through the privacy settings on all accounts and keep all accounts private.
Never post personal information online (for example, your location, your employer).
Be mindful of what can be seen in photos you upload (for example, street signs, familiar landmarks).
When downloading apps, turn location off.
Talk to your friends and family about what they are posting online that the abuser may see.
Delete the abuser off your accounts and request your friends and family to delete the abuser as well.
Consider also deleting any contacts you may have who are associated or friends with the abuser. The abuser can use their friends to contact you or retrieve information.
Talk to your children about what they post online, accepting friend requests, and responding to unknown messages.
If you are receiving unwanted contact from the abuser, or are being threatened online or through text message, keep a record of the communication and your effort to end contact. If there is a no contact order in place, do not reply and report to Police.
