Staying Safe

1. Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN): A VPN encrypts your internet traffic and hides your IP address, making it difficult for anyone to track your online activities.

2. Use a secure browser: Opt for browsers that have built-in privacy features like Firefox, Brave or Duck Duck Go, which block tracking cookies and prevent websites from collecting data about you.

3. Clear your browsing history and cookies: Regularly delete your browsing history and cookies to remove any stored data that can be used to track your online activities.

4. Use private browsing mode: Most browsers have a private or incognito mode that doesn’t save your browsing history, cookies, or other data.

5. Don’t take any photos of your encounters.

6. Be cautious with personal information: Limit the amount of personal information you share, such as your address, phone number, or birthdate.

7. Use encrypted messaging apps: Use encrypted messaging apps like Signal or WhatsApp to ensure your messages and calls are secure and not easily tracked.

8. Regularly update your devices: Keep your operating system, apps, and antivirus software up to date to protect against vulnerabilities that can be exploited for tracking purposes.
