Steps to take when someone repeatedly monitors, contacts, or tracks you online.
Short answer
Preserve evidence, review location sharing and account access, reduce publicly exposed information, and seek appropriate support if the behaviour is persistent, threatening, or unsafe.
Keep a record of repeated messages, account activity, locations referenced, threats, and other relevant evidence.
Review location sharing, active sessions, connected applications, and account privacy settings.
Do not confront the person if doing so could increase your risk.
If you believe there is an immediate physical safety risk, use an appropriate emergency or support service.
