Norton Donates 5000 Free Product Licenses for Domestic Violence Survivors

Through a unique partnership with TechSoup, and in collaboration with the National Network to End Domestic Violence, Norton is donating up to 5,000 free product licenses to survivors to help them recover from financial or technological abuse. Licenses are available for Norton 360 Deluxe and Norton Secure VPN. From the Gen Digital blog:

“Norton 360 Deluxe, one of the products offered through the new donation program, can prevent activity or location tracking, information theft, installation of malicious programs and uninvited changes to devices. We are also offering Norton Secure VPN as a standalone product, which protects a person’s online privacy by hiding the computer’s address from websites visited from any device. Eligible organizations may request up to 100 licenses of each product, which then must be distributed to survivors of domestic abuse.”

Domestic violence survivors face unique challenges to securing their technology and information online. While tools like these can make it easier for survivors to increase their security online, often the cost of these products prevents survivors from accessing them. Security tools like those offered in this partnership can be a valuable piece of a survivor’s tech safety planning. Domestic violence service providers who are members of the Safe Shelter Collaborative can apply online through TechSoup to help connect survivors with these donations.
