This is a crime. If this has happened to you find out what to do.
Online abuse is real abuse, and it’s not OK.
If your partner or ex is tracking your location, constantly messaging you, going through your phone, or spying on you this is online abuse. There are things you can do to stay safe online.
You do not have to be married or living with your partner or ex to seek legal protection.
A Safety Order and Protection Order can help protect you from abuse.
