Here's what you need to know

We do more online than ever – from banking, shopping, storing medical records, business, social media, school, and even doctor appointments. While convenient, this makes our personal and financial info more accessible to identity thieves and hackers.

 

IDShield helps protect what matters to you the most, like your identity, finances, privacy, and reputation, so you and your family can do what you love online... more safely. As an industry leader in online safety, IDShield:

 

  • Provides $3 million Fraud Protection Plan to help cover losses due to ID theft.

IDShield continues to innovate its identity theft protection solutions, offering extensive monitoring and up to $3 million in stolen funds reimbursement. Their service provides 24/7 access to in-house experts who can fully remediate and restore identities to pre-theft status.

    • Transition icon

  • What if my employment status changes?
    Good news! If you leave or retire from your current employer, you can continue your coverage without interruption (subject to applicable law and the plan’s terms and conditions). Although payroll deduction will no longer be available, you can opt for other payment methods such as direct bank account deduction, credit card billing or home billing. Higher rates may apply.

  • Why would I need IDShield when my bank and/or credit card company offer a program?
    IDShield invests considerable resources into developing and advancing identity theft technology and spends countless hours learning how identity thieves work. Their identity protection services are far broader and more comprehensive than banks and credit cards, which are usually based only on credit. IDShield can monitor everything, and fully manage and restore your identity in the case of fraud. You do none of the legwork. Finally, an Identity Fraud Protection Plan of up to $3 million means you don’t have to cover the costs of recovering your identity.

  • Is it safe to give IDShield my sensitive information?

    IDShield’s information security policy applies to all its employees, consultants, contractors, and vendors:

     

    • Your information is stored solely in an encrypted data center on non-public networks behind firewalls using network address translation and address control lists
    • Security protocols enable only a limited number of professionals to access data on a need-to-know basis
    • All facilities utilize the latest security measures, as well as state-of-the-art surveillance and alarm systems
    • parent-child icon

  • Is identity theft a concern for my children, too?
    Kids’ online identities can be a serious concern for parents. The family plan provides coverage for kids and teens, so you can help protect their personal data and give them a safe head start.
    • bank statement icon

  • When I activate credit monitoring, will it impact my credit score?
    No, activating credit monitoring on your IDShield account is considered a soft inquiry, which does not impact your credit score, as it is informational only and not a credit application. This differs from a hard inquiry, which occurs when you apply for credit. A hard inquiry can impact your credit score.
