Is Someone Tracking Me? The Signature Edition (Guidebook + Workbook)

Is Someone Watching Your Phone?

Something feels wrong. Someone knows where you've been, quotes your private messages back to you, or turns up where you never told them you'd be. You're not imagining it, and you're not alone. Most tracking by a partner, ex or family member comes down to a short list of methods, and each one leaves clues in a specific place.

❌ They know things you only said in private messages

❌ They show up where you never told them you'd be

❌ Settings changed, battery drains, apps you don't recognize

❌ Sign-in alerts or password resets you didn't ask for

❌ An "unknown tracker" alert on your phone

❌ You're not sure what's safe to change without them noticing

The Signature Edition walks you through it in a safe order: check, document, plan, then start clean.

This is the complete print edition of Is Someone Tracking Me? Confirm It & Start Clean, expanded into a full guidebook and a separate printable workbook. Every chapter starts with safety: what you can look at quietly, what could alert the person, and how to plan before you change anything.

Your Safety Comes First

If someone may be monitoring your phone, read and store this guide on a device they have never touched. Changing settings or removing apps can alert the person, so plan first, ideally with an advocate. National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233 (or text START to 88788). If you are in danger right now, call 911.

Worried About Companies, Not A Person?

If your concern is advertisers, data brokers, Meta and Google, see the companion guide, Who's Tracking You? The Signature Edition.

Prefer Video?

The same material is available as the video course, Is Someone Tracking Me? Confirm It & Start Clean. The Signature Edition is the complete print companion: everything in one place.

Educational use: this guide explains how tracking commonly works and the checks and steps that can help you respond. It isn't legal advice and doesn't replace an advocate, lawyer or the police. No check finds every form of tracking. Results depend on your situation, your devices and completing each step safely.

Why it works: every chapter follows the same safe order (look quietly, write it down, plan, then act), so you know what each check can reveal and what it could set off before you touch anything. The workbook keeps your evidence, plans and checklists in one place.
