Your guide to free identity protection

Safeguard your family's financial future by securing your personal information before criminals exploit it.

Frozen Pii refers to the personally identifiable information (pii) that has been 'frozen' in your credit reports.

Created by a data breach victim and cybercrime prosecutor, Frozen Pii helps you implement credit freezes—the most effective way to prevent criminals from opening fraudulent accounts in your name. Credit freezes block unauthorized access to your personal and financial data, including your Social Security number and credit history. These security measures are free by law and act as a critical defense against the rising threat of data breaches.

Whether you’re taking preventative action or seeking recovery assistance, Frozen Pii provides the tools and resources you need to claim and control your identity before criminals do.
