AllClear ID Rolls Out Free Mobile AppMar 19, 2012 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- AllClear ID, a provider of free identity theft protection service for consumers, launched AllClear ID Mobile for iOS devices. In a release, the Company said that the AllClear ID Mobile app alerts consumers when retailers, law enforcement and cyber security experts report that thieves have access to consumers' bank accounts, credit cards and Social Security Numbers. AllClear ID said that the app also makes it simple for consumers to discover and activate over twenty of the most powerful free identity protections available. Cyber security experts regularly discover caches of stolen consumer data while pursuing cyber criminals. Consumers will have access to this information and be alerted directly through the AllClear ID Mobile app when their personal information has been compromised. AllClear ID Mobile also offers ID Protection Guide for those who want "do it yourself" identity protection. According to a newly released online survey of 1,941 U.S. adults ages 25 and older (conducted by Harris Interactive for AllClear ID), 88 percent of those surveyed are aware of free tools like annual credit reports. However, many remain unaware that there are over twenty additional free tools designed to help prevent identity theft including reducing junk mail, protecting your credit score, and determining if someone is using your child's Social Security number for employment and loans. "This is the first and only app to organize the most powerful free protections in one place, making it easy for people to discover and activate the ones they care most about," said Bo Holland, CEO of AllClear ID. "Whenever you have five minutes of downtime, you can use your phone to activate another protection and share it with your friends and family."
