What should I do to protect me and my family from ID theft?

If you shop online or share your information on social media it is a good idea to take steps to help protect your personal information. We’ve got a great checklist, called ‘PROTECT' that you can follow to help protect yourself and your family from identity theft.

How will I receive an alert?

|

Via email. We will never put your personal details in the email – it will just be an alert asking you to quickly log in and see what is going on. And then we can work together on ways to stop your identity being compromised any further.

How often will I receive cyber monitoring (Identity Watch) alerts?

|

Beyond our welcome email – you will only receive a cyber monitoring alert if your data is being compromised (read: found being traded illegally in online forums). We don’t know when crooks will be acting. That’s why we watch everything all the time.

How often do my details get monitored as part of the Identity Watch feature?

|

With Identity Watch, available in an Equifax ID Basic or Premium annual subscription, your details are monitored 24/7. That means now. And now. And now … get the picture? If any information is found to be compromised we will send an alert straight away.

How long does it take once I have entered my details for them to be monitored?

|

Once you have registered the personal information you would like monitored by Identity Watch, available with an Equifax ID Basic or Premium subscription,  it takes 12–24 hours for us to carry out the initial scan. We’ll send you an email after the first scan is done and let you know what we found.

Does my bank get notified if I get an Identity Watch alert?

|

No. Only you will receive an email alert. You then have to log on to your portal – see what’s happening – and start planning your next steps. 

Identity Watch is available with an Equifax ID Basic or Premium subscription.
