Apparently they don’t meet EU safety standards 🤷‍♀️ #safety #paris #safetyfirst #cars #cybertruck #pov #travel #eu

TikTok launched an easier way to manage your safety and privacy settings. Type "Check My Settings" in the search bar to find its new guide and learn about the settings I mention in the video plus others like managing who can stitch or duet your videos, adjusting who can message you, checking on things you've reported, and of course, turning on your two-factor authentication (which I hope you already have enabled!). Take a few seconds to customize your settings. 🙌 #tiktokpartner #tiktok #LifeHack #tipsandtricks #digitalsafety #onlinesafety #teensafety #family #teenparent #DidYouKnow

From a safety perspective, transparent walkways make it easier for everyone to see what’s going on. It helps security keep a better eye on things, for us, it’s easier to identify help if we need it or spot hazards. There’s a lot of reasons and that’s probably why it’s so common to see at airports, malls, hotels and other newer public buildings. #safetytips #design #pov #hiddenfeatures #LifeHack #DidYouKnow #hiddendetails

I’m just trying to catch a flight, not a virus 😅 Here’s a few things I won’t do at airports. It’s not that they’re massive problems (some are only theoretical) but it’s easy enough to avoid, so I do. #digitalsafety #cybersecurity #infosec #safetytips #travelsafety #travel #airport #security

I’ve been doing this for years & it’s helped me catch companies sneakily selling my data. If you live in an apartment building it’s probably best to leave your last name on the package so it doesn’t get lost. In those instances I’ll just add a code after my first name. For example, if I’m ordering pet food, I’ll be Cathy (pet) Pedrayes or if it was Amazon I could put (AMZ). Something that helps me remember the source without changing the name. #dataprivacy #LifeHack #safetytips #onlinesafety #cybersecurity #infosec #DidYouKnow #tipsandtricks

We’re NOT in the clear. Without a buyer this app is going away by April 5th and so far, it’s not looking good. Follow your favorite creators elsewhere & if you are a creator, comment with what you post and where we can find you. 💙 #tiktokban #30minutes #news

I always travel with zip ties. It can be a last minute luggage lock if needed but also if TSA opens your bag, you’ll know! Part 2 is that it’s easiest to put a little scissor on the outside of your checked luggage so you can cut it off. #travelhack #safetytip #tipsandtricks #ziptiehack #travel

The best part is doing these small things to protect your data also means less spam! 🙌 #privacy #spam #hacker #onlinesafety #safetyfirst #parents #tipsandtricks #LearnOnTikTok #EduTok #techtok

🚘 NHTSA currently only requires car manufacturers to test on 40-50 yr old crash test dummies which were designed based on the male body. Today we have newer dummies but its optional to use them so the She Drives Act was introduced to congress to change that. Now we have to wait and see if it gets put up for a vote & passes. #designbias #driving #women #safety #design #safetymeasures #congress #survival #shedrives #news #crashtest #genderbias

Never use a pirate taxi. They may quote you a low fair but there’s no guarantee they won’t scam you as the ride continues plus there’s the safety concerns. These videos were filmed by me. In the first video I saw an elderly couple almost get into the taxi but fortunately they changed their minds. #travelsafety #safetytips #traveling #piratetaxi #safetyfirst #traveltips #survival

🚨 Scam Alert 🚨 This new scam will text you about an unpaid toll with a link to pay but it’s a fake website. If you get a text like this, ignore it, report it & if you have any questions about your account, go directly to the FasTrak, SunPass or EZPass website. (Also remember this app is probably going away- follow me on IG or YT to stay up to date). #scamalert #psa #warning #phishing #tollscam #onlinesafety #digitalsafety #safetytips

✈️ Real ID goes into effect May 7th (this is for adults). If you plan on flying within the United States and you don’t have the drivers license that’s Real ID compliant (it has a star) you’ll have to bring a passport or another ID like a passport card with you. In my area it’s hard to get a Real ID appointment so I got a passport card. Please share this so people know. #travel #traveltips #realid #tsa

Hey, I’m Cathy! If you’re new here (or if you’ve been around for a while), let’s do a little reintroduction. 👋💙 I help families navigate safety—especially online—because the more we know, the better choices we can make. You might know me from my ‘Situations When It’s Best to Lie’ series, or maybe it’s just the blue dress and pearls. 😉 Beyond that, I’m an author, a bilingual mom, a CASA volunteer, and—fun fact—I do improv for fun! Now, tell me about you! What brought you to my page? Drop a comment - I’d love to hear! 💬✨ #aboutme #SafetyFirst #ParentLife #onlinesafety #safetytips #advocate
