Allstate Identity Protection

We use our proprietary software and human operatives to proactively monitor your identity and alert you of potential fraudulent activity. Through Allstate Identity Protection, you will also have the power to create financial thresholds for debits from your bank accounts, allowing you to receive alerts for potentially suspicious financial transactions outside of your set limits. We monitor the dark web to check for your compromised credentials that could lead to unauthorized account access. While we can’t prevent fraud, we can and do alert you at its first known sign, then remediate the fraud and restore your identity.

We know that tracking your own identity is cumbersome and filled with unknowns, so we’re here to help take the burden off your shoulders so you can live your life.

While our service includes credit monitoring, we know that credit is just one aspect of identity protection. We detect a more expansive range of digital threats beyond your credit accounts. Our identity monitoring looks for misuse not only of credit, but also of high-risk transactions (suspicious non-credit activity, such as “payday” loans, or forged signatures on documents) and compromised credentials on the dark web. We also monitor financial accounts for signs of fraud as well as social media for account takeovers.

Additionally, Allstate Identity Protection monitors the accounts you add, even from multiple financial institutions, in one place instead of relying on each bank’s individual fraud monitoring system. You can even place thresholds for financial activity on all of your existing bank accounts, giving you greater insight into potentially fraudulent activity. If you’d like more details on financial threshold monitoring, contact us.

Our technology helps detect when an identity may be at an elevated risk for theft and allows us to help you take necessary precautions, including placing fraud alerts, credit freezes, and reviewing credit reports. We go beyond credit monitoring to search for suspicious activity, looking holistically at the financial accounts you use, the social media accounts you log into, and other data sources that could be compromised by others. This allows us to alert you of fraud at its earliest signs.

We know that protecting your information is of utmost importance. That’s why we use security software to encrypt your information before and during its transmission through the internet. We only allow information to be submitted for transmission if your browser is compatible with our security software. 

If your browser is not compatible, you will receive a message indicating your transaction can be completed but at a lower level of security. No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We offer a variety of tools to help protect your privacy, including a robocall blocker, ad blocker, social media monitoring, dark web monitoring, and solicitation reduction.

Another example is our privacy management tool, Allstate Digital Footprint®. This proprietary tool helps you see where your personal info lives online so you can spot potential identity threats, learn if your online accounts have been affected by a data breach, and send requests to unsubscribe from marketing emails, delete your data, or change your preferred level of privacy. Tools like this can help you manage your data, reduce the amount of online accounts you have, and ultimately help prevent a security issue down the road.
