Protecting Your Digital Privacy and Limiting Data Tracking

While browsing the internet and using our phones feels private, many companies actually watch what we do online and use our phones to track where we go. These records are used to target us with ads, and sold to data brokers and advertising firms. If you want to keep your searches and movements private, follow these steps:

• Disable your mobile ad ID: Turning off your mobile ad ID will limit the ways that companies can connect your location, search data, and browsing history.
• Opt out of personalized ads on Google: You’ll have to log into your Google account, navigate to “Data & personalization”, find the “Ad personalization panel”, and uncheck the box about personalizing ads.
• Opt out of targeted ads on Facebook & Instagram: Find your Facebook settings, then click on the “Ads” category, and opt out of the various options on that page, including ads that follow you around the internet and ads on Facebook based on websites you’ve looked at.
• Use DuckDuckGo instead of Google to search: DuckDuckGo is a privacy-focused search engine that does not save your search data or collect any information about you.
• Use Firefox Focus instead of your phone’s default browser: Firefox Focus is a privacy-focused browser that blocks third party trackers, which can be used to target you with ads, and Firefox Focus won’t sell your data.
• Turn off location sharing: Many apps ask for location permissions and sell that data to advertisers. Law enforcement also buys this data to surveil oppressed communities.

How Abortion Pills Work

The standard approach to terminate early pregnancy is through a combination, called mifepristone with misoprostol.

The gestational limit for pill usage is sanctioned up to 9 weeks (63 days) after your last menstrual period (LMP) begins.
