Every click, message, and location ping creates a digital trail that can be used against activists and organizers. Law enforcement regularly demands data from tech companies to identify and surveil people working for social change.

These guides help you minimize your digital trail. These steps won’t make you invisible, but they’ll make it substantially harder for authorities to:

• Track your location and movement patterns

• Monitor your communications and political discussions

• Map your relationships and networks

• Build profiles of your activities and associations
