Survey Reveals That 86 Percent of Consumers Do Not Want Their Personal Information Sold Online by People-Search Websites and Online-Based Advertising Companies

LifeLock, Inc. (NYSE: LOCK), an industry leader in proactive identity theft protection, today announced a beta-test for its new service, LifeLock Privacy Monitor, which empowers consumers to take back some control of their personal information.

LifeLock Privacy Monitor allows consumers to find and remove or suppress their personally identifiable information, such as name, address, age and known relatives, from selected common people-search websites and Internet-based advertising companies. Removing personal information from these databases can help consumers regain some privacy and make it harder for others to access this personal information or sell it for marketing purposes.

“As people increasingly live their lives online, the amount of data being collected is exploding, and consumers say that they want more control over their identities,” said Hilary Schneider, president of LifeLock. “We agree, so we set out to build a free tool that gives consumers better control of their privacy, and ultimately puts one more hurdle in the way of would-be identity thieves.”

In addition to announcing LifeLock Privacy Monitor, the company also shared the results of a new survey conducted online by Harris Poll among over 2,000 U.S. adults and commissioned by LifeLock, which reveals that 86 percent of consumers do not want their personal information sold online by people-search websites and online-based advertising companies. The survey also found that 83 percent want to control the availability of their personal information.

Schneider added, “Privacy Monitor fits squarely into LifeLock’s philosophy of giving consumers tools to manage their identities conveniently so that they can live freely in an always-connected world.”

The company’s suite of services includes LifeLock Standard™, LifeLock Advantage™ and LifeLock Ultimate Plus™. The announcement of LifeLock Privacy Monitor follows recent news of product enhancements, including personalized activity alerts on credit card, checking and savings account transactions. In addition, LifeLock Ultimate Plus members can receive activity alerts on their investment accounts.
