Anti-Phishing and Identity Theft Protection Quote

"...recovering from identity theft can be difficult, costly, and stressful, but what is most alarming is that despite the time, money, and personal duress victims go through, resolution is not always achieved."

Kirk Herath, the associate general counsel for Nationwide

Identity Defender Software

What Information Identity Defender Collects
Identity Defender software does not collect any information from your computer.
When you install Identity Defender, the Identity Defender toolbar communicates with our server to receive an ID number. This is just a number to uniquely count the number of toolbar users out there, and to help us identify fraud reports. Each subsequent time that your Identity Defender toolbar downloads the latest blacklist information, the only information shared is your toolbar ID and the version number of Identity Defender you have.

Updates
Your copy of Identity Defender, once installed, will check in with our server occasionally to receive updated fraud information. We do not record nor do we have access to the websites you view when Identity Defender is installed. Your copy of Identity Defender simply accesses our server and supplies its toolbar ID and version number, and Identity Defender responds with updated fraud information.
You can control the way updates are performed through Settings dialog. By default database updates are automatic and software updates are performed after confirmed notification of engine update available.

How Fraud Reports are Handled
When you report a site to Identity Defender as fraudulent an anonymous fraud report is sent to our fraud analysis team. No personal identifying information is included; the only information included with the fraud report is your unique toolbar ID. When you submit a fraud report, it may be used by us to (a) update our threat database and blacklist, and (b) to alert the victim of identity theft attack.

Policy Modifications
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. However, any changes will be posted promptly here, so please check back periodically.

If you have any questions regarding this privacy policy, please contact us using our contact form.
