This talk will present results of a qualitative study of the digital privacy and security practices and challenges of survivors of intimate partner abuse (IPA). We propose a framework for organizing survivors' technology practices and challenges into three phases: physical control, escape, and life apart. This framework is intended to help technology creators consider how survivors of IPA can leverage new and existing technologies. Overall, our results suggest that the usability of and control over privacy and security functions should be or continue to be high priorities for technology creators seeking ways to better support survivors of IPA.
