Frequently Asked Questions about Digital ID Protection

Here are the answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about digital ID protection and identity theft.

Why should identity theft worry me?

With nine million Americans becoming victims of identity theft each year, a once rare crime is rapidly becoming an epidemic. One of the most troubling aspects of identity theft is that consumers usually remain unaware that they are victims until it is far too late. A thief can wreak havoc on your credit by the time you realize something has happened. In some extreme identity theft cases, victims have even been sent to jail, lost job opportunities, or been denied loans for crimes that they did not commit. If you are fortunate enough to avoid these consequences, then you can expect to spend hours upon hours of time and at least hundreds of dollars trying to restore your credit after identity theft has occurred.

What can digital ID protection do that I can’t do myself?

You might be able to change the oil in your car yourself, but you probably don’t. You more than likely trust a professional to do it for you so you know it is done right. The comparatively small cost of an expert is worth the time you save and the guarantee of a professional job. This is much like guarding your identity. Though you could prevent identity theft by perpetually tracking your credit report and accounts, you probably do not have the time or desire to do this round-the-clock. Digital ID protection gives you 24/7 coverage with a professional guarantee for a reasonable fee.

How much does digital ID protection cost?

When you compare the price of digital ID protection to the hundreds of dollars that a single occurrence of identity theft would cost you, the cost seems beyond reasonable. You might be surprised to learn that you can get professional digital ID protection for as little as $10/month.

Can I trust a digital ID protection company with my personal information?

Digital ID protection companies with good reputations usually carry certifications in operational and data security, meaning they are endorsed by a third-party for the safe handling of sensitive information. Good digital ID protection companies do extensive employee background checks, drug screening, and will not house any of your data on-site for maximum security.
