Why Get Safe?

We lock the doors to our houses, but our whole lives are stored on our phones and computers. If we don’t lock down our devices, all of our personal information is easily accessed by stalkers, identity thieves, and even the government. All your photos, your banking info, your emails, every message you’ve ever sent -- if it falls into the wrong hands, it can put you and the people you care about in danger.

Where do I Start?

Get Safe shows you what you can do to start securing your most private information. Protecting your privacy can feel overwhelming. Get Safe makes it easy -- like taking a simple online survey. We'll walk you through some basic steps that will dramatically increase the safety of the personal information stored on your phone and computer. It's quick, you don’t need to be tech savvy, and it’s worth it just for the peace of mind.

Where Can I Learn More?

Get Safe is just a starting point. Digital security is an ongoing process that needs regular and frequent attention. There are many digital security tools and best practices that are not listed here.

Protecting Equity, Justice, and Freedom: Vulnerable communities (people of color, LGBTQ, religious minorities, domestic abuse victims, sex workers, among many others), activists, journalists, attorneys, and human rights workers are more likely to be high-risk targets online. If you are at high-risk of being spied on, harassed, or having your information compromised or stolen, you should seek out more advanced digital safety materials or get expert advice.
