SafeStep is a free, bilingual (English/Hindi), mobile-first digital safety resource kit designed to help women in India protect their digital footprint, secure their devices, and respond to online threats.
- 3-Pillar Resource Kit: Structured around three core pillars—Prevent (digital privacy basics, account security), Respond (reporting threats, evidence collection), and Recover (legal options, emergency support).
- Interactive Privacy Quiz: A 12-question quiz running completely in the browser that generates a personalized digital safety action checklist based on the user's risks.
- Bilingual Support: Full English and Hindi localizations to support regional accessibility.
- Progress Tracker: An interactive checklist utilizing browser
localStorageto let users save their progress privately on their own device without leaving a digital footprint. - Quick Exit Feature: A panic button (and Escape key shortcut) that immediately redirects the browser to a neutral page (Google) to protect the user's privacy in unsafe environments.
- No Cookies: SafeStep does not use tracking cookies.
- No Data Collection: All progress, checklists, and quiz answers are processed and stored entirely client-side using
localStorage. No data is sent to external servers. - Completely Anonymous: Users do not need to register or log in to use the platform.
Since SafeStep is built as a fully static website, it can be run locally or hosted on any static hosting provider (GitHub Pages, Vercel, Netlify, etc.) without any backend setup.
