According to the Federal Trade Commission, Tennessee ranks 24th in the United States for identity theft complaints. Last year, identity theft increased in Tennessee nearly 8% (national average was 1%).
It's due to this increased focus on the crime that LifeLock® CEO Todd Davis is pleased to announce a partnership with the Tennessee Dental Association. The partnership will allow LifeLock’s identity theft protection service to be offered to the association members at a discounted price.
“We are proud to offer LifeLock’s identity theft protection service to our members,” said David Horvat, Executive Director of Tennessee Dental Association.
The Tennessee Dental Association headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee and serving the needs of more than 2,350 members statewide, has decided to offer its members the LifeLock identity theft protection service immediately. LifeLock is the nation’s first and only ID theft protection service and backs it up with a $1 million guarantee.
“Over the past three years we have been watching the increasing number of data breaches throughout the United States, including many involving the medical profession,” said LifeLock CEO Todd Davis. “Now the industry is looking for ways to protect its members from this growing problem. This partnership is one of the first in this effort but I feel certain it will only be a matter of time before others follow suit.”
As the industry leader in identity theft protection, LifeLock requests on behalf of its clients that the national credit bureaus place fraud alerts on its members’ credit files, and requests that members’ names be removed from pre-approved credit card offer and junk mail lists. It is backed by a $1 million service guarantee. In addition to the proactive identity theft protection measures provided by LifeLock, members are also entitled to LifeLock’s WalletLock™ service. WalletLock works to cancel and replace all documents and personal identifying information inside a wallet if it is lost or stolen. Most recently added, LifeLock’s TrueAddress™ and eRecon™ bring additional layers of proactive identity theft protection. TrueAddress™ will search to see if a member has had a change of address form filed. eRecon™ is an internet patrol search of member’s personal information being illegally sold or traded.
