In detail

What should you watch out for?

Practical insights to help you prepare for this situation.

Protect your digital identity

Use strong, unique passwords for every account and turn on two-factor authentication wherever possible. A password manager makes this easy. Regularly review which apps have access to your location, camera, and contacts — and revoke unnecessary permissions.

Be careful with online meetups

If you meet someone you got to know online, do it in a public place. Tell a friend where you are going and when you expect to be back. Share your live location through Alarmira so someone always knows where you are.

Social media and location privacy

Never share your real-time location in public posts or stories. Wait until you have left a place before you upload photos. Regularly review your privacy settings and limit who can see your profile and location.
