1. Be mindful who you tell, and how you tell them.
Consider using an encrypted chat service like Signal when texting about private information. Make sure you trust whoever you share your story or situation with.

2. Use privacy-enabled browsing.
Privacy extensions and privacy-enabled browsers don’t track or store your personal information when searching + browsing. Or better yet, start at a directory like Plan C or ineedana.com to find services and resources - no browsing required. (These sites do not collect personally identifiable information).

3. Turn off location services on your phone.

If you're traveling or seeking in-person care, you can turn off location services to avoid your physical location being tracked. You can also turn off your phone entirely.

4. Use an encrypted email address.
Use an encrypted email provider like ProtonMail when emailing about private information. To ensure that private information stays private, all participants in an email should be using Proton or you can send a password-enabled email.

5. Download a Virtual Private Network (VPN)
and disable ad tracking.
‍Using a VPN like Proton will hide your device’s IP address even if you are using public or shared Wi-Fi. You can also disable ad tracking on your devices; here's EFF's guide.
