# 🛡SAFETY TIPS * **Do not withdraw immediately after depositing:** Allow a few hours to pass. It will be more difficult to match your deposit with your withdrawal the more time passes. * **Wait for more people to deposit**: It will be more difficult to match your deposit with your withdrawal if you wait until there are several deposits after yours. * **Destroy the note after withdrawal:** The note contains data that that could compromise your anonymity, and has no use or validity after withdrawal, it is safer to get rid of it. * **Clear your cookies before using your new wallet:** If a dapp sees that you used one wallet and now use a new one, it can know that they belong to the same owner. * **Hide your IP:** If you can, use a VPN, proxy or TOR network to hide your IP address. * **Do not use our service on public computers:** You don’t know who is watching, what software is installed, they could get your note and take your deposits. * **Don’t use our service with public wifis:** Traffic on a public network can be spied on, your passwords, your note, your funds could be stolen. * **Avoid front runners:** We **strongly** recommend to use withdrawal wallets in the **same shard** as our Smart Contract, **Shard x**.
