Introducing PrivacyMaxx: The Identity Theft Protection Plan for Individuals, Small Business Owners and Companies

PRIVACYMAXX ID PROTECTION PLAN: A REVIEW

The term 'identity theft', coined in 1964, is the deliberate use of someone else's identity, usually as a method to gain financial advantage or obtain credit and other benefits in the other person's name, and to the other person's disadvantage or loss. The person whose identity has been assumed suffers adverse consequences if they are held responsible for the perpetrator's actions. Identity theft occurs when someone uses another's personally identifying information, like their name, identifying number, or credit card number, without their permission, to commit fraud or other crimes.

The PrivacyMaxx Family ID Theft Protection Plan

Who is it for?

Consumers aren't the only people needing protection from ID theft. In fact, one could argue PrivacyMaxx protection is even MORE suited for the small business owner. After all, local business owners or companies may have even MORE to lose from ID theft--and MORE to GAIN from a PrivacyMaxx subscription.

Day-to-day business practices (multiple credit cards, frequent online purchases, and other routine transactions, etc.) can leave a business owner vulnerable and at an increased risk for ID theft and a security breach that could ruin their entire business!

The PrivacyMaxx Identity Theft Protection Plan is ideal for individuals, companies and local business owners.

Additional potential benefits for business owners:

  • Risk mitigation for their business and assets
  • Protection for their good name and reputation
  • Maximizing the "trust" value for their customers
  • Peace of mind for their livelihood and investments
In the event of ID theft, customers will get direct access to a PrivacyMaxx professional recovery advocate, who will manage the entire recovery process for their family.

In addition to handling the follow-up, paperwork, and phone calls required to recover your customer’s name and credit history, the PrivacyMaxx advocate will document, dispute and reverse all fraudulent transactions for all known types of identity theft.

As an added layer of protection, customers also get 12 months of Internet Monitoring follow-up once they are back to pre-theft status.

How it works

The PrivacyMaxx plan provides proactive Internet Monitoring, fully-managed Identity Recovery service in the event an identity theft incident is detected and a $25,000 Expense Reimbursement benefit.

Internet Monitoring Service (IM): The Internet Monitoring Service proactively scans for sensitive personal information commonly sold and traded on black market internet sites and chat rooms.

This service includes monitoring for credit and debit card numbers, bank account numbers, social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, telephone numbers, email addresses, and other sensitive information.

Proactive services reduce risks, costs and headaches related to financial fraud and identity theft. Covered members receive a monthly status email or text providing an update of their monitoring service.

In addition, the system sends real-time alerts via email or text to covered members whenever there is activity. This real-time alerting and monitoring service provides a pro-active solution that is the perfect addition to recovery services.
