Security
Both the individual and family plans offer extensive identity theft protection that begins with identity monitoring, Internet black market scanning and lost wallet protection. Identity monitoring is the active monitoring of your personal information — such as your social security number, date of birth as well as current home address — on people search and other background check websites to verify that your information is not published on the website.
If the service finds your personal information on any website, it alerts you via your account portal and provides you with steps that you can take to get your information removed from the website. Internet black market scanning is similar to identity monitoring, however it specifically searches for your information on illegal websites and in criminal chat rooms. This scan verifies that your social security number, credit card information, date of birth and other personal information is not being traded or sold on the Internet black market. In the event that your information is found on any of these websites, you will be alerted and provided with the tips and tools detailing what steps you should take to protect your identity. Lost wallet protection is a tool that most identity theft protection services use to centralize your banking information to help you cancel all of your credit or debit cards in the event that you lose your wallet. This service’s lost wallet protection allows you to include an unlimited number of debit and credit cards as well as the phone numbers for each of the banks, so in the event that you do lose your wallet, you have all the information you need stored in one place.
