IdentityHawk is a membership program that offers you state-of-the-art identity theft protection through a comprehensive monitoring service that tracks your personal information across the vast expanses of the Internet.
2. • IdentityHawk was created to help consumers safeguard their assets, their
properties, and their good names against the threat of identity theft and
fraud. IdentityHawk members use our benefits to assess the current level
of risk to their identities, identify those areas where they're most
vulnerable, and take proactive steps to reduce those threats.
• Through comprehensive Internet monitoring that combs through public
databases, black-market chat rooms, and everything in between,
IdentityHawk keeps a constant eye out for threats to our members'
identities. As soon as a threat is detected, we send out an alert to the
affected member, identifying the risk and suggesting a course of action.
• Our 24/7 Internet monitoring capabilities offer state-of-the-art detection
services, providing members with enhanced peace of mind about the
safety and integrity of their identities.
What is IdentityHawk?
3. Why Join IdentityHawk?
Identity theft continues to plague U.S. citizens across all income levels, genders,
races, ages, and occupations. While the continued rise in incidents has led to
greater consumer interest in identity theft prevention and protection measures,
identity thieves still manage to find new ways to uncover personal information
and use it to their advantage — and their victims' detriment.
The most recent statistics from Javelin Strategy & Research indicate that more
than 11 million American consumers were victimized by identity fraud in 2009, an
increase of more than one million people from 2008.* Essentially, one out of
every 27 people in this country in 2009 had their personal information used by
others to engage in fraudulent transactions or to receive services illegally — and
that rate shows no signs of abating.
***IdentityHawk members are provided with the right tools to
keep their identities safe and secure so they don’t become an
“identity fraud statistic.”***

Monitoring:
As part of our effort to provide comprehensive protection
for your unique identifying information, IdentityHawk
offers three kinds of identity security monitoring:
Identity Monitoring. We comb the Internet for "events"
where your personal identifying information (e.g., names,
current and previous addresses and phone numbers, your
Social Security number) is being used.
Breach Alert Monitoring. When a company or organization
reports lost or stolen personal data, IdentityHawk will help
you determine whether you're at risk.
Cyber Monitoring. Our monitoring service scours the
deepest corners of the Internet to search for your personal
information in "black market" chat rooms and other
clandestine sites where identity thieves sell their stolen
data.

Alerts:
Addressing threats to your identity as quickly as possible can help you
protect your identity — and your assets — before identity thieves can
cause lasting damage, which is why IdentityHawk provides immediate
risk warnings as well as assistance once you feel threatened:
E-mail and Text Alerts. Whenever IdentityHawk's monitoring
service detects an "event" that affects you — whether it's a data
breach at a bank where you do business or the use of your
personal information in a chat room — you'll receive an immediate
alert, via your choice of e-mail or text message. The alert will
explain the event and provide you a list of steps you can take to
address it.
Fraud Alerts. If you believe your identity is at risk, IdentityHawk is
ready to help you place a fraud alert on your file at the three
credit reporting agencies — TransUnion, Equifax, or Experian.
Fraud alerts help prevent identity thieves from opening new lines
of credit in your name.

Additional Protections:
IdentityHawk's safeguards go beyond monitoring and alerts. We'll help you secure your
personal information before a threat exists — and provide insurance coverage and expert
guidance if you become a victim of identity theft:
Document Recovery Service. Through IdentityHawk, you can safely record and store
information about your vital personal documents and accounts. In the event of loss or
theft, you'll have toll-free access to our Member Service Representatives. These
representatives, who are certified Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) experts, can help you
replace lost documents, cancel compromised accounts, order new credit cards, and more.
Identity Theft Insurance. If you become a victim of identity theft or fraud, you're eligible
for up to $1 million in coverage for out-of-pocket expenses.***
• Member Support. Our FCRA–certified experts are available, toll-free, to answer any
questions you may have about identity theft prevention, your membership benefits, and
how to use the program. If your identity is stolen while you're a member, our
representatives will also help you step-by-step through the process of restoring your
identity to its pre-theft status.
*** Eligibility for identity theft insurance coverage depends upon the laws in your state of residence.
