Are You Protecting Your Child's Personal Data?

For many families, school looks a lot different this year. Your child may be attending classes in person, but the rules on campus have changed. Perhaps your child is staying home but incorporating online lessons. Or you may have decided to take up homeschooling. Whatever your plan of action this year, you are probably doing whatever you can to make life simpler as your child navigates this new normal.

Besides keeping your child safe in a COVID-19 world, did you know you also need to protect them from cyberbullying and identity thieves? Children’s identities are especially attractive to identity thieves because many parents aren’t aware that this part of their child’s life is vulnerable. Names, Social Security numbers, addresses and even financial accounts are all potential areas that a thief will use to steal a child’s identity.

Protecting your child's personal data.

How can you protect your child’s info personal data? Or how can you fix the problem once you find out your child’s identity has been stolen? You could try to keep an eye on all your child’s identifying information, but you surely have enough on your plate without adding that extra work. You could also try making all the phone calls, writing the emails and freezing the accounts yourself. But surely there’s an easier way to protect your child’s identity!
