Privacy Basics

Use Private Browsing

Enable incognito/private mode so your visit isn't saved to your browser history.

  • Chrome: Ctrl+Shift+N · Cmd+Shift+N (Mac)
  • Firefox: Ctrl+Shift+P · Cmd+Shift+P (Mac)
  • Safari: Cmd+Shift+N (Mac)

Clear Your History

If you forget to use private mode, clear your browser history, cookies, and cache — especially on a shared device.

Use a VPN

A Virtual Private Network encrypts your internet traffic and hides your location from your internet provider and others on your network. Particularly important if you're in a country where visiting LGBTQ+ resources carries risk.

Device Security

  • Lock your devices with a password or biometrics
  • Don't save passwords on shared or family devices
  • Log out of accounts when you're finished
  • Use a trusted, secure Wi-Fi connection
  • Keep your operating system and browser updated
