Identity theft can have a devastating impact on your finances, time, and emotional well-being. PrivacyHawk understands the seriousness of these risks, which is why our Platinum Plan includes up to $5 million in identity theft insurance. This comprehensive coverage is designed to provide financial protection, expert guidance, and peace of mind in the unfortunate event that your identity is stolen.
In this article, we’ll explain what the insurance covers, how to file a claim, and how PrivacyHawk supports you throughout the recovery process.
What Does the Identity Theft Insurance Cover?
PrivacyHawk’s identity theft insurance offers broad financial coverage through our partnership with AIG and Assurant. Here’s what you’re covered for under the $5 million insurance policy:
1. Stolen Funds Reimbursement
If funds are stolen from your accounts due to unauthorized electronic funds transfers, the insurance reimburses you for the amount lost.
Example: A fraudster accesses your bank account and transfers money without your consent.
2. Legal Fees and Costs
The insurance covers legal fees and expenses incurred while addressing identity theft issues, such as disputing fraudulent claims or defending against false allegations.
Example: You need to hire a lawyer to clear fraudulent debts attributed to your name.
3. Lost Wages
If you are forced to miss work while resolving an identity theft incident, the insurance reimburses you up to $1,500 per week for up to five weeks.
Example: You take time off to file reports, manage communications with creditors, and attend legal proceedings.
4. Recovery Expenses
The policy covers miscellaneous out-of-pocket expenses related to restoring your identity. This includes the cost of reissuing identification documents (e.g., driver’s license, passport) and notary or certified mail fees.
Example: You incur expenses while reapplying for official documents after your ID was misused.
5. Expert Support for Resolution
Beyond financial coverage, PrivacyHawk provides access to highly trained ID Recovery Specialists who guide you through the entire recovery process, ensuring you regain control of your identity efficiently.
Why Identity Theft Insurance Matters
Identity theft is an increasingly common threat in today’s digital world. Fraudsters can wreak havoc on your finances and credit, leaving you to deal with months or even years of clean-up. While monitoring tools help detect threats early, insurance serves as a critical safety net that:
Protects you from out-of-pocket costs.
Provides financial support during recovery.
Ensures you have expert resources to address issues quickly and thoroughly.
With PrivacyHawk’s up to $1 million identity theft insurance, you can rest assured that if the worst happens, you are covered.
