Safety first

Clean ground first. Close access only when it is safe.

When someone has had access to your phone, accounts, or devices, the safest path is rarely the fastest one. This is a calm, private, safety-aware conversation about your digital exposure — planned around your safety, not rushed.

Safety first

If you are in immediate danger.

If you are in immediate danger, call the police at 100, or Israel's national domestic-violence hotline at 118 — staffed 24/7 in Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, English and Amharic (you can also send a WhatsApp message to 050-2270118). This page is about planning your digital safety calmly — it is not a substitute for a safety plan, an advocate, or your lawyer.

Why timing matters

A sudden change can be visible.

Changing a password, turning off location sharing, or removing a device can be visible to someone who is watching — and a sudden change can escalate the situation. Whether and when to make a change depends on your circumstances. The aim is to avoid tipping anyone off before you are ready and safe.

Clean ground first

Sometimes the safest first step is new ground.

Sometimes the safest first step is to set up new, separate ground — a device or account the other person has never had access to — rather than changing what they can already see. A safety-aware conversation can help you think this through before you act. With you, and in coordination with your safety plan or advocate where relevant, we can help you understand where you may be exposed, what is safe to change and when, and how to sequence it. Nothing is done remotely, nothing is uploaded, and no log of your digital life is kept.

What not to do abruptly

Your safety comes before speed.

Please don't rush to "close everything" at once, confront the other person with what you've found, or assume a single change makes you safe. We won't promise that any change is invisible, or that it can all be done in one day — your safety comes before speed.

External support

You don't have to do this alone.

Specialist domestic-abuse organizations, advocates, and your lawyer can help with safety planning, legal protection, and housing. We work alongside them, not in place of them.
