LifeLock’s identity theft protection services come with four basic pricing plans. The amount of stolen funds’ reimbursement depends on the specific plan you have signed up for. Users should be aware that the plans are set to automatically renew, so they’ll need to cancel before their renewal date if they don’t want to continue being charged.

Standard Plan

The Standard plan is LifeLock’s most basic service with plans starting from $7.50 a month for the first year ($89.99 per year) with an annual payment. If you decide to pay per month, the cost is $8.99 a month. Please note that the prices for both plans increase after the first year, after which it costs  $124.99 a year and $11.99 a month, respectively.

As this is the cheapest plan by LifeLock, it comes with only social security number (SSN) and identity alerts as well as one-bureau credit monitoring (three-bureau credit monitoring is recommended). It also lacks integrations with VPN and antivirus software, features that are included in pricier plans.

The plan provides up to $25,000 in reimbursements for stolen funds due to identity theft.

Advantage Plan

The Advantage plan is another identity theft protection service plan that offers the benefits of integration with Norton 360.

You can get reimbursements of funds up to $100,000 under the Advantage plan.

Ultimate Plus Plan

This plan integrates with Norton 360 as well with monthly subscriptions starting at $19.99 a month for the first year if pay a one time annual fee of $339.99. If you prefer to pay per month, the first year will cost you $23.99 a month and will also then increase to $34.99 a month.

All plans by NortonLifeLock come with a 60-day money-back guarantee under an annual plan. You can cancel your plan before your billing renewal date and the service will not be automatically renewed.

LifeLock is a brand of NortonLifeLock Inc., an offspring of the well-known software security Symantec. They are headquartered in Tempe, Arizona.

The company is a leading provider of cybersecurity software and services, and it is listed as a Fortune 500 company. NortonLifeLock is also a member of the S&P 500 stock-market index, which makes them one of the 500 largest public companies in the United States.

LifeLock provides identity theft protection services including monitoring and assistance with recovering a stolen identity. The company boasts that they block an average of 7 million identity theft threats on a daily basis.

LifeLock offers a number of helpful features and services when it comes to protecting your identity. Here are a few favorites:

One-Click Credit Freeze

A credit freeze prevents people from accessing your credit report, even if they have all of the personal information on you that they need to do so. It requires them to enter a special PIN that you’ll have access to. This means that any time a thief tries to open a new account or make a purchase that requires a credit check, they won’t be able to.

Unlimited Device Protection

The most distinctive feature of LifeLock is the option to use the service to protect unlimited devices with antivirus and VPN under select plans. This is good for Macs, PCs, tablets, and smartphones. Other plans they offer include the option to protect 5 or 10 devices.

They are considered the identity theft protection service with the most comprehensive set of tools for monitoring your personal data. The one-click credit freeze feature is also a unique option when you look at services by competitors.

Mobile App

LifeLock offers a mobile app that is available for Android and iOS. You can proactively act on any alert you receive and tag any suspicious activity, which in turn alerts the LifeLock agents to take any action to remediate any risks associated with identity theft. LifeLock members also get access to real-time support service within the mobile app.

Dark Web Monitoring

LifeLock doesn’t simply provide access to credit reports and social security number alerts. They also monitor the darkest recesses of the web to find where your personal information may be shared. They run a scan of the Dark Web as soon as you enroll, checking back until 2008 for signs that your personal data has been exposed.

Up to $1 Million Stolen Funds Reimbursement

Identity theft can be very expensive. That’s why LifeLock offers up to $1 million in stolen funds reimbursement at their highest plan. They also offer up to $1 million in reimbursement for lawyers or experts you may need to hire to help restore your identity, and an additional $1 million for personal expense compensation.

LifeLock is asking for a bit more than the usual personal details to start your subscription with their identity theft protection service.

Here are the details you should provide to them:

• Your name
• Physical address
• Email address
• Phone number
• Date of birth
• Social Security Number

Additional details you should provide after the registration include personal information about:

• Insurance details
• Bank account numbers
• Driver’s license number
• Credit card numbers

They may even request such information as your mother’s maiden name. This is a pretty standard data collection practice, as the more they know about you, the better the protection is as they can track more sources to detect identity theft fraud attempts.

It should also be noted that the brand has had its share of problems in the past with the FTC regarding securing the personal information of their customers, however, this was resolved in 2015. LifeLock declares that they currently follow the regulatory requirements stipulated by data protection legislation such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California’s Consumer Privacy Act. They store standard data such as names and email addresses along with system info from cookies and third-party applications.

Nonetheless, you should be aware that the company is operating under the jurisdiction of the United States, which means they are subject to regulations under which the authorities (such as the police) can force the company to hand over personal information about its customers.
