ALLSTATE IDENTITY PROTECTION
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE AGREEMENT AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
These Terms and Conditions (also referred to herein as the “Agreement”) set forth the terms and conditions under which InfoArmor, Inc. (known as “Allstate Identity Protection,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) will provide identity and privacy protection, Educational Materials (defined herein), as well as any other products, features and/or any related services whether via our website, portal or app (collectively, the “Products”) to you and, if applicable, your dependent family members (collectively, “you” or “your”) as subscribers for any such Products or users of our website, apps or Educational Materials. Note that some Products do not require a subscription, but this Agreement still applies to the usage of such Products and users of such Products referred to herein as “you” and “your”. InfoArmor, Inc. is a subsidiary of The Allstate Corporation and provides the Products described herein.
By using any of the Products, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. Further, by using any of the Products, you represent that you are a natural person 18 years of age or older, you are using the Products on your own behalf and personal accounts or on behalf of your children under 18 for whom you are their legal guardian or parent. Additionally, you represent and warrant that you are a U.S. resident, that you have provided true, accurate and correct information including, if applicable, your valid U.S. Social Security Number, in connection with your registration, and that you will only use the Products for lawful purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any new features included in the Products in the future will also be subject to this Agreement and may have Additional Terms (see Section H below).
Among other things, this Agreement contains a provision requiring the use of arbitration to resolve disputes, instead of jury trials, class actions or any other resolution process. This provision is in Article I(S) below and is entitled “Arbitration Provision and Class Action Waiver.”
This means that, instead of suing each other in court, the parties agree to settle disputes only by arbitration. Arbitration works differently. There is no judge or jury, and review is limited but, like a court, the arbitrator can award damages and relief and must honor the limitations contained in this Agreement.
By agreeing to arbitration, the parties understand and agree that they are waiving their rights to utilize all other available resolution processes (e.g. a court action or administrative proceeding) to settle disputes.
If you do not wish to agree to arbitration and waive your right to all other available resolution processes, you may opt out of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provision by notifying Allstate Identity Protection within 30 calendar days of your acceptance of this Agreement by sending a notification that includes your name, member ID, and the email address you used to sign up for the Products via electronic mail to infoarmorservices@infoarmor.com.
ARTICLE I
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL SUBSCRIBERS
A. Authorization. You authorize Allstate Identity Protection and its subcontractors and service providers to obtain, analyze, process and scan for your own personal information and, if applicable, anyone else you add to your account for whom you subscribe for any Products (as described below) under a Family Plan (as described below), including, without limitation, credit and transaction information and, if you enroll in social monitoring, information regarding usage of and behavior on social networks, and to transmit this information to you for your own use. You certify that you are the parent or legal guardian of all children under the age of 18 for whom you subscribe for any Products. You specifically grant permission to Allstate Identity Protection and its subcontractors and service providers to obtain your credit, transaction and social media information and the credit, transaction and social media information of your children under the age of 18 from third-party credit reporting companies and other third-party sources to verify your and such children’s identities and provide such credit, transaction and social media information to you. Information that Allstate Identity Protection collects from you will be treated in accordance with Allstate Identity Protection’s Privacy Statement, which you can find here: https://www.allstateidentityprotection.com/privacy (“Privacy Statement”).
B. Refusal of Subscription. We reserve the right to reject any request to subscribe for any Products for any reason including, without limitation, (i) unavailability of a service in the state where you reside or other legal restrictions, (ii) your credit history, (iii) your inability to provide an Appropriate Payment Method (as defined herein), or (iv) your attempt to subscribe for any Product subject to a Coverage Cap (as defined in the Summary Description of Benefits for the Personal Internet & Identity Coverage Policy, and as made available for your review in your online account where we previously paid claims to you or on your behalf).
C. Product Enrollment. You agree to provide valid, accurate, and current personal information during registration for any Product. You understand that Allstate Identity Protection’s ability to provide certain Product features is dependent upon your provision or confirmation of valid, accurate and current information. You acknowledge and agree that you will not be able to obtain access to certain Product features if you do not properly enroll. You also acknowledge and agree that Allstate Identity Protection, its subcontractors, partners and/or service providers will not be responsible or liable for any acts or omissions related to your provision of, or your failure to provide, valid, accurate and current personal information. You may enroll yourself or you may use an authorized third-party to enroll you by having such authorized third-party provide us with your information on your behalf, together with documentation or other evidence acceptable to us that such third party is authorized to register you and provide such information on your behalf. You may enroll minor children and/or dependents in our Family Plan (described below) if you are their parent or legal guardian and have lawful authority to do so. By enrolling minor children and/or dependents, you acknowledge that this Agreement applies to them and that you agree to and accept the terms of this Agreement on their behalf. By enrolling your spouse or other family members in the Products, you are representing to us that you have their express permission to enroll such family members in the Products. You further agree and acknowledge that this Agreement applies to them and that you accept the terms of this Agreement on their behalf. However, under no circumstances may you enroll your spouse or other family members or dependents who are 18 or older into credit monitoring. Any such spouse, adult family member or adult dependent must register for credit monitoring and pass identity verification separately.
D. Family Plan. The following applies only if you have enrolled in our Family Plan. Our Family Plan provides a portal that enables a primary subscriber to send an invitation to each authorized adult family member enabling each of them to access and manage the Products by creating a separate account. If the primary subscriber does not create family invitations from within our portal, both the primary subscriber and all authorized adult family members agree to have their alerts, reports, scores and other disclosures made through the primary subscriber’s account. The primary subscriber will always manage minor dependents under a Family Plan. Family member coverage extends to the following family members so long as you have identified them to us (either during open enrollment if you obtain our Products through your employee benefits or in the Family section of our portal): (i) legal or common law spouse, (ii) dependent children or other dependent family members who reside with you, and (iii) dependent children, or other dependent family members who do not reside with you but who are supported financially by you. All such family members must be individually registered to be covered by our Products. Note that if you subscribe to our Products through your employer, if your employer defines family member eligibility differently than we do, your eligible family members for our Products follows your employer’s family eligibility criteria. When you enroll minor children and/or dependents in our Family Plan, you certify that you are their parent or legal guardian and have lawful authority to do so, and you acknowledge that this Agreement applies to them and you accept the terms of this Agreement on their behalf.
E. No Fraud Alerts; Network Limitations. You understand and agree that the Products (including any of our services that may be used in connection with the Products) do not include the placing of fraud alerts with credit reporting agencies. Additionally, you understand and acknowledge that we monitor your personal information using our network, which is composed of certain proprietary technologies and databases owned by, or otherwise licensed to, us for our use, and that not all transactions, including fraudulent transactions using your personal information, may be monitored due to limitations in the scope and breadth of our network. During the term of your use of the Products, our network and its scope may change without notice to you. You also understand that it may take up to four weeks from acceptance of this Agreement and enrollment in the Products for all related services to be fully activated.
F. No Credit Repair. We are not a credit repair organization or similarly regulated organization under applicable laws, and do not provide any form of credit repair advice. We may offer you access to your credit report and other credit-related information, but we do not offer products, advice, counseling or assistance for the express or implied purpose of repairing or improving your credit.

S. Arbitration Provision and Class Action Waiver. Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, your use of the Products, or any acts or omissions for which you contend we are liable, including, but not limited to, whether a particular claim or controversy is subject to this section (“Dispute”), will be finally, and exclusively, settled by arbitration held before one arbitrator under the then prevailing Commercial Arbitration Rules and Rules for Expedited Procedures of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in force at that time. The arbitration will be conducted in Chicago, Illinois. The arbitrator will be selected pursuant to the AAA rules. The arbitrator will have the power to award no more than the prevailing party’s actual, compensatory damages in connection with any Dispute, and may not award damages in excess of actual, compensatory damages, such as by multiplying actual damages or by awarding consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages (collectively, “Enhanced Damages”), and both you and we irrevocably waive any claim to Enhanced Damages, except where such a waiver would explicitly violate the law of the state in which you live at the time a Dispute arises. This section, regarding Arbitration, will not be construed as an agreement to the joinder or consolidation of arbitration under this Agreement with arbitration of disputes or claims of any party other than you or us, regardless of the nature of the issues or disputes involved. Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court which has jurisdiction over the non-prevailing party. By agreeing to the foregoing arbitration terms, you waive your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights. You also waive your right to participate in or bring class actions or class arbitrations. If any of the foregoing provisions is determined by a court or arbitrator to be inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to a Dispute, you and we agree that, subject to the foregoing arbitration provisions, jurisdiction over and venue of any suit will be exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Cook County, Illinois. If either you or we employ attorneys to enforce any right in connection with any Dispute or lawsuit, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, as well as arbitration and/or court costs.
T. Billing and Payment Terms. The total fee for all Products for which you subscribe, whether you subscribe to one or more Products (the “Product Fee”), will be automatically charged to your credit card or through another automated payment method acceptable to us on each Payment Date (an “Appropriate Payment Method”). “Payment Date” means the date on which you subscribe for a Product and each monthly or annual anniversary of such date. For example, if you subscribe for a Product on March 5, the Payment Date will be the fifth day of each month for a monthly subscription, or March 5th of the following year for an annual subscription. By providing us with your payment information, you are representing and warranting to us your authority to do so and our right to charge the Product Fee in accordance with such payment information.
U. Term, Termination, and Renewal. Depending on your offer, your subscription may have an introductory or special offer. After the introductory or special offer expires, your subscription for the Products will automatically renew annually (for annual subscriptions) or monthly (for monthly subscriptions) at the applicable price set forth at www.allstateidentityprotection.com/pricing (or any successor site as determined by Allstate Identity Protection) (the “Renewal Price”) unless and until you cancel or it is otherwise terminated pursuant to this Agreement. Our prices, including any Renewal Price, are subject to change, however we will notify you in advance. You may terminate your subscription for any or all the Products at any time by cancelling in the portal in your account settings, calling us at 1-855-821-2331 or by emailing us at cancel@allstateidentityprotection.com.

V. Refund of Product Fees. You will not be entitled to a refund of any prepaid Product Fees (or any portion thereof) if you terminate any monthly subscription for Products, however, as noted in Article I(U) above, your subscription will not terminate until the end of the current month for which you have paid. Termination by you of any annual subscription will entitle you to a refund of a prorated portion of Product Fees that you have prepaid for such subscription. Termination by Allstate Identity Protection of your annual subscription will entitle you to a refund of a prorated portion of Product Fees that you have prepaid for such subscription.
W. Use Restrictions. You shall not and shall not permit others to:
-
interfere with the operation of Products or another’s use of the Products;
-
introduce any viruses, worms, malware, trojans, or other malicious or disruptive code;

The foregoing list is not exhaustive. If you engage in any activity with us that we determine, in our sole discretion, to be offensive, threatening or harassing, interferes with our ability to help other subscribers, causes harm to us, or you otherwise violate this Agreement, your access to and use of the Products will terminate effective immediately, and you will be unable to access or use your subscription account. In addition, you may be subject to legal action and may be denied future participation in any products provided, distributed or sold by us. Failure by Allstate Identity Protection to enforce such rights remedies is not and shall not be deemed a waiver of such rights and remedies.
Y. Waiver. Allstate Identity Protection will not, by the mere lapse of time, without giving notice or taking other action, be deemed to have waived any of our rights under this Agreement. No waiver by us will be binding unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Allstate Identity Protection. No waiver by us of a breach of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of this Agreement.
Z. Effect of Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, such provision (to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability) shall be deemed severed from this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain valid and enforceable.
AA. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations and communications between you and us concerning such subject matter are hereby superseded and made null and void in their entirety. You acknowledge and agree that you have not relied on any statement, representation, warranty, or agreement of ours or any other person purporting to act on our behalf, including any representations, warranties, or agreements arising from our website, any promotional materials, any statute, or otherwise in law, except for the representations, warranties, or agreements expressly contained in this Agreement.

- Sex Offender Monitoring. To use sex offender monitoring, you must provide your address including zip code. Sex offender monitoring results are based on various publicly available records of registered sex offenders in a particular zip code. We will provide monthly updates when a new registered sex offender moves into your designated zip code. If you move out of your current zip code, you must update your address and zip code to continue receiving updates. You understand that we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information regarding specific offenders or whether an offender who may be located in the vicinity of any location is omitted. You acknowledge and agree that you should not rely on information provided by us alone in this regard, and we accept no responsibility or liability for damages of any kind resulting from reliance on this information or lack thereof.
- Allstate Digital FootprintSM. The Allstate Digital Footprint is activated when you sign up for Allstate Digital Footprint and grant access to Allstate to read, write, modify, or control email message bodies (including attachments), metadata, headers, and settings (“Email Data”). By activating the Allstate Digital Footprint, you agree to allow Allstate to collect, use and share your Email Data to (i) identify certain online accounts, (ii) notify you of known security breaches that relate to those accounts, and (iii) at your request, send data privacy requests, unsubscribe requests or deletion requests from your email account. In conducting the Allstate Digital Footprint scan, our technology analyzes your emails including the headers and senders of the emails, and to the extent necessary, the content of the email to determine if a digital relationship exists. Allstate Identity Protection retains email header and sender information where a digital relationship was identified but does not retain or store the content of your emails. Additionally, Allstate will not:
- transfer email data to others unless it is necessary to provide and improve features, comply with applicable law, or otherwise provide the services, use email data for serving advertisements, or
- allow a person to read your email data unless we have your affirmative agreement regarding specific messages, doing so is necessary for security purposes such as investigating abuse, to comply with applicable law, or for an Allstate product's internal operations.
Allstate’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google email accounts will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the limited use requirements, which are accessible here.
Your email address will be matched against a list of email addresses involved in known security breaches that relate to those accounts. If applicable, you will be alerted about those breaches. If you wish for Allstate Identity Protection to no longer access your Email Data, you may revoke access directly through your email account provider at any time or by disconnecting your email account from the service.
You agree that the Allstate Digital Footprint is for personal use only and by granting Allstate Identity Protection access to your email account, you are certifying that you are the individual owner of the email account and that you have the authority to grant such access. The Allstate Digital Footprint is created based upon accounts identified in your email through our email scanning process. Our email scan only looks at your inbox, not deleted or sent emails. You may have additional accounts that are not revealed through in your Allstate Digital Footprint because you have not had any email communication with those companies, or you may have deleted emails from those accounts. This Service is not an insurance product and Allstate Identity Protection expressly disclaims any representations or claims that this Product establishes, rebuilds, raises, repairs, rehabilitates, restores, or improves your credit.
The Allstate Digital Footprint Privacy Insights feature provides insights regarding a company’s collection and use of personal information based on the information disclosed in the company’s privacy policy (which may also be referred to as a “privacy statement” or “privacy notice”). Companies may have multiple policies, however, at this time we are only able to review the privacy policy on the company’s main website. We use machine learning technology to provide these insights, which is not always 100% accurate. Our summaries are for information purposes only and highlight only certain types of a company's usage and collection of data. The Privacy Insights are not a substitute for reading a company’s privacy statement. To fully understand how a company collects and uses your data, you should always visit their website to read its privacy policy in full.
The Allstate Digital Footprint provides you with the ability to send requests to companies from your email account to (i) unsubscribe you from marketing emails, (ii) delete your data and account, and (iii) honor certain privacy preference requests. Companies may not be legally required to comply with requests to delete your data and therefore may not honor such requests. Companies are also not legally required to comply with privacy preference requests or may have specific processes in place to honor privacy preference requests. Companies may vary widely in how, when or if they respond to your data preference request. Allstate does not communicate independently with companies regarding your unsubscribe, deletion and privacy preference requests. You should monitor your inbox for communications from the company with respect to such requests.
