Safety Checkup

Disclaimer

Educational information, not a diagnosis

The Digital Safety Checkup for Women is an educational safety resource. It is not a diagnostic tool, not an emergency service, not a law-enforcement service, and not a replacement for professional domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or legal advocacy.

Recommendations are generated from the answers you select. They cannot see your devices, accounts, or home. A “secured” or “handled” mark only means you marked that item as handled — not that you are safe.

Do not treat this site as legal advice, medical advice, or a child-protection investigation. Hotline numbers and URLs were checked against official sources at build time and can change. Confirm them on the destination website.

If you believe you are in immediate danger, contact emergency services available in your location. Get help now.

Before institutional publication

Guides in the resource center are marked for professional review. The list below is the advocate-and-counsel checklist for this sample build. It is not a legal opinion. Nothing here is cleared for a coalition, school, clinic, or government site until a qualified reviewer says so.

  1. Review 1

    Hotlines and official links

    Phone numbers, text short codes, and URLs can change. Confirm each one on the destination site before publication, and set a review calendar.

  2. Review 2

    Leaving-a-relationship and shared accounts

    Password, phone-plan, cloud, vehicle, and smart-home guidance can increase risk if sequenced poorly. A domestic-violence advocate should review wording and order.

  3. Review 3

    Children’s devices and co-parenting

    Changing a child’s phone, watch, or Family Sharing can intersect with custody orders. This is not legal advice and must be reviewed by counsel before institutional use.

  4. Review 4

    Intimate images, sextortion, and AI-generated images

    Age matters: images of anyone under 18 follow a different path (Take It Down / CyberTipline) than adult StopNCII reports. An image-abuse specialist and counsel should review.

  5. Review 5

    Bluetooth trackers and stalkerware

    Advice not to disable, destroy, or confront about a suspected tracker is deliberate. Local programs and law enforcement protocols differ. Review before training staff on it.

  6. Review 6

    Teen pathway and mandatory reporting

    The teen checkup is educational. Programs that serve minors need their own mandatory-reporting, consent, and parental-notice policy on top of this resource.

  7. Review 7

    Family safe word and AI voice clones

    This is general fraud-prevention education, not a guarantee against impersonation. Review for families you serve; do not collect the word.

  8. Review 8

    Financial abuse and joint accounts

    Suggestions such as a separate bank account can be visible to an abuser and can affect divorce or benefits. Financial-abuse advocates and attorneys should review.

  9. Review 9

    Apple Safety Check, Find My, and carrier tools

    Vendor steps change with each OS release. Using Safety Check can notify people who currently have access. Recheck vendor documentation at publication.

  10. Review 10

    Sample tone and “secured / review” labels

    Labels are the user’s own marks, not a clinical or forensic finding. Confirm that translations, printouts, and partner websites do not turn them into a danger score.
