Internet Usage Safety
- Please remember that computers can track information such as the sites you have visited on the Internet, the emails you send, and other activities.
- If you are in danger, try to use a safer computer that someone abusive does not have access to.
- Consider using a computer in a public library, at a community technology center (CTC) www.ctcnet.org (national directory), at
a trusted friend's house, or an Internet Café.
- If you think your activities are being monitored, they probably are. Abusive people are often controlling and want to know your every move.
You don't need to be a computer programmer or have special skills to monitor someone's computer activities - anyone can do it and there are many ways to monitor.
- Never share your email password(s).
- If you close an e-mail account and open another, ask
family members and friends not to disclose your new
e-mail address.
- Never give personal or identifying information to
any online service unless you feel reasonably sure the
site is legitimate and secure.
