03
Is this suitable for stalking or domestic-abuse risks?
It is not a substitute for specialist safety planning. Changing settings can sometimes alert another person, so seek help from a trusted local support organization when monitoring or coercion is possible.

Real-life uses
Practical ways to use Personal Privacy Risk Checkup
These examples show where the tool can help and what still needs a deliberate human check before the result is used or shared.
Reviewing everyday sharing habits
Turn answers about cloud copies, metadata, app access, and public sharing into a manageable action list.
Setting up a new device
Use the questions as a prompt to review locks, updates, permissions, recovery, and backup choices.
Helping a family member
Walk through general privacy habits without entering names, account details, passwords, or a personal profile.
Worked example
Reviewing a newly configured phone
The device has a screen lock, but cloud copies, app access, photo metadata, and recovery habits have not been reviewed together.
Before
Individual settings hide the overall pattern
- Some protections may already be enabled
- The largest practical gaps are not obvious from one settings screen
After
Three priorities make the review actionable
- Answer only the non-sensitive questions
- Use the generated priorities as prompts in the real device and account settings
What you receive: a local educational checklist based on the selected answers, not a security audit or personal threat assessment.
