Identity theft is America’s fastest growing crime, where one new identity is stolen every two seconds. And unfortunately, identity crimes today go well beyond simple credit fraud.

How does InfoArmor protect my identity?
How does InfoArmor prevent my identity from being misused?
InfoArmor believes in proactive prevention to protect your identity from misuse. When you sign up for the service you will be presented with the option to reduce unwanted solicitations such as junk mail, telephone solicitations, and preapproved credit offers. This alone can remove the root cause of up to 20% of identity theft. This is a good start to keeping your information out of the hands of fraudsters.
Our technology is predictive, meaning that we can detect when an identity is at an elevated risk for identity theft and take the necessary precautions. If you fall under this category, we may place fraud alerts, credit freezes and pull credit reports to prevent fraud from occurring.
Additionally, when fraud is detected, we know about it sooner than credit monitoring services because our technology detects fraud at point of application rather than waiting for it to hit your credit report. InfoArmor can even at times catch the fraud before it becomes a problem or impacts your personal information; unlike credit monitoring companies that can only alert a subscriber after the damage has already been done. Our system provides complete protection to deter, detect and defend against identity theft.
How does InfoArmor compare to other services, like credit monitoring?
How will InfoArmor reach out if there is a problem or if identity fraud is detected?
InfoArmor’s Privacy Advocates will do everything in their power to contact you as soon as we detect an issue or suspicious activity. We will always contact you by phone when we see suspicious activity to discuss next steps. Depending on the communication preferences established in your personal online account once your benefit is active, you will also be notified by your primary communication preference (either email or text).
If InfoArmor cannot reach you via phone or email/text, a letter will be sent to the home address you have provided, asking you to call us in regards to your identity status.
What should I do if my identity is stolen?
Our Privacy Advocates will work on your behalf to restore your identity from start to case completion. Privacy Advocates are Certified Identity Theft Risk Management Specialists (CITRMS®). They are experts in identity restoration and are committed to doing the work necessary to restore your identity for you.
These in-house support professionals work exclusively with victims of identity theft to restore the victim’s identity to what it was before the incident. They will do the necessary work to fix your identity from start to case completion. Although each case is treated on an individual basis, some steps may include:
What is covered under your Identity Theft Insurance Policy?
Can I do the same things for free that InfoArmor does on my behalf?
This is an important question to ask of every provider of identity theft services because many companies charge for what you could do for free, but not InfoArmor.
Protecting your privacy by reducing unwanted solicitations is the first logical step in reducing your risk of identity theft. And every American can take this step for free, but many don't because they find the process confusing or simply don't take the time.
When you enroll in PrivacyArmor, you automatically receive our one-stop privacy dashboard, for free. This easy to use web tool allows you to reduce junk mail, stop pre-approved credit offers and end telemarketing calls with the click of a mouse.
PrivacyArmor provides complete identity theft protection at an affordable price. We create your SNAPD identity blueprint to search for misuse and fraud. This is not something that you can do on your own. In addition, we also include complete personalized remediation services and a $1,000,000 identity fraud reimbursement policy.
Is it safe to give InfoArmor my information?
Data protection and security are fundamental to InfoArmor's business and success. As a result, we adhere to a comprehensive information security policy that applies to all employees, consultants, contractors and vendors that interact with InfoArmor and its information assets. Customer data is stored in a state-of-the-art data center (SSAE 16 and DISA STIG compliant). That data is only accessible via secure, encrypted connections.
The databases are on non-public networks behind firewalls using network address translation and address control lists. In addition, our intrusion monitoring and detection systems are constantly looking for anomalies in real-time. InfoArmor has security protocols enabling a limited number of professionals to access data on a “need to know” basis. All facilities employ the latest security measures as well as state-of-the-art surveillance and alarm systems. No data is stored onsite and no critical data is stored on computers outside of the secure data centers.
Do you provide a credit report to subscribers?
We believe that credit is one component of your identity that should be periodically reviewed for accuracy as a check to ensure fraud has not occurred. Currently, we remind our subscribers to pull their free credit reports through annualcreditreport.com three times a year to see a complete snapshot of their credit. This is a good complement to our more robust identity monitoring solution.
Because we realize that credit is an important component to financial security, InfoArmor offers a free credit report each year, monthly credit scores, and continuous credit monitoring. Adding credit reports, scores, and monitoring will make the process of understanding and protecting your identity information even easier through InfoArmor’s one-stop shop portal.
