With the widespread use of technologies like the internet, criminals are finding it easier than ever to deprive innocent people of their privacy and identity through identity fraud and identity theft, frequently ruining their credit and their reputations in the process. Identity theft can occur as a result of high tech methods, such as a data breach or a computer virus, or as a result of a low-tech method resulting from the theft of a wallet.
However it happens, it’s not a pretty picture -- damage caused to personal lives by identity theft is very real – and can take a lifetime to resolve. That’s where LifeLock comes in. Founded in April 2005 and located in Tempe Arizona, LifeLock offers an affordable and effective way to prevent identity theft. LifeLock identity protection starts by locking down your credit reports so only you control your credit destiny, and ends with a one million dollar guarantee that you’ll be fully protected. No other company offers this level of security and service.
LifeLock has a three-step approach to protecting your identity – Protection, Detection, and Remediation.
Detection: Using public records and web searches, you’ll be notified of any illegal activity involving your name, address, social security, or other aspects of your personal identity. Additionally, you’ll be provided with credit reports from the major reporting agencies on a regular basis.
Protection: In addition to 24-member service, LifeLock will inform you in the event attempts are made to access credit in your name. Additionally, the number of pre-approved credit applications you receive will be reduced dramatically, effectively reducing the risk that criminals will attempt to fraudulently obtain credit in your name.
Remediation: If your wallet is lost or stolen, LifeLock associates will act immediately upon contact from you to void use of its contents, as well as replace them. In addition, if any of the above methods should fail, the company’s unprecedented $1,000,000 guarantee is there to reimburse you for any financial losses you sustain as a result of identity theft.
At the heart of LifeLock’s identity theft protection is their command center, allowing you the greatest control and protection possible, along with 24/7 access to your personal, customized settings relating to industry-leading features like LifeLock Personal Breach Protection ™, LifeLock Identity Alerts ™ and LifeLock Identity SDS ™.
At only $15 monthly, LifeLock offers the highest levels of protection possible; their identity protection services are so secure that the company’s founder and president has made his social security number public. That’s how much he believes in the LifeLock product. LifeLock for Business offers the same great services with protection that goes beyond anything other identity protection available. The time to act is now: protect your identity. Protect your credit. Protect your life. Choose LifeLock.
