Make Sure Your Identity and Credit Information is Protected by PrivacyGuard®, Affinion Group's Comprehensive Identity Theft Protection Solution

STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Affinion Group, a leading global provider of identity theft protection and customer engagement solutions designed to help companies build deeper connections with its customers, is today reminding consumers about the importance of  credit reporting, credit monitoring, and identity theft protection services, in light of recent national data breaches.

According to Javelin Strategy & Research, a research-based advisory firm, an estimated 15.4 million consumers were affected by identity theft in 2016.  In an era where data is primarily shared and stored digitally – from online transactions and websites that save your credit card information to online banking and money exchange apps – it is more important than ever to secure your information. 

"Identify theft is something that is very real, even though nobody thinks it will happen to them," said Kerri Corry, Group Vice President of PrivacyGuard.  "It is important to be educated about your risk, and take the proper actions to protect yourself."
