This webinar is intended for practitioners and professionals who regularly support victim-survivors of domestic violence who want a better understanding about how technology is misused in domestic and family violence situations.
Newer cars have advanced automotive technologies that connect to the internet and have vehicle apps. However, these technologies also pose a risk for survivors as they can be used for tracking or stalking.
This one-hour training covers the levels of connectivity in newer cars, the data collected and shared, privacy concerns, and ways survivors in Australia are vulnerable to being tracked through their cars.
