Norton LifeLock monitors credit, finances, and personal information for signs of identity theft and fraud. Monitoring can cover the internet, dark web, and credit and financial service applications, with alerts through the app, text, or email. Once set up, automatic data broker removal scans for personal information and sends removal requests every 90 days. Members can share a suspicious message or website or ask the Virtual Advisor for advice; scam reimbursement depends on plan and eligibility. If identity theft occurs, a U.S.-based Restoration Specialist helps with calls, paperwork, and disputes. All plans include up to $1 million in coverage for lawyers and experts, while reimbursement and expense coverage vary by plan and insurance benefits come from third parties. Monthly options listed are Core at 12.49 USD per month, Advanced at 19.99 USD per month, and Total at 34.99 USD per month. Annual individual plans are also listed, including Core Individual at 10.42 USD per year, billed at $10.42/mo.; $124.99 is due today and it renews at $124.99/yr. A 30-day trial requires a valid card and converts to paid billing unless canceled before it ends. Credit features require setup, identity verification, and sufficient credit history with the applicable bureau.
