Good to know
What it is
Monitoring for the details you choose, with plain next steps when something is found.
What it is not
Identity theft insurance, a credit bureau, or a promise that no one can misuse your details.
Can monitoring stop identity theft?
No. It surfaces warning signs early so you can act, but it cannot prevent every misuse.
Does it affect my credit score?
No. It is not a credit application or a credit bureau service.
What happens when something is found?
You get a plain explanation and practical next steps. The right step depends on what leaked.
