## What is ID Security?

ID Security alerts you if your personal information has been leaked onto the internet or the dark web, allowing you to take action to protect your online security and privacy. In 2020, ID Security detected over 8,500 data leaks and the leaks containing more than 12 billion pieces of personal data.

Because the dark web is only accessible through encrypted networks and hidden from regular web browsers and search engines, it is filled with sites illegally selling consumer data such as Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, and email addresses. These types of data are regularly used by cybercriminals to commit various crimes, including identity theft. According to a leading U.S. identity theft report, 47% of Americans have experienced financial identity theft, and in 2020 the total cost to victims was $56 billion – the highest amount in recorded history.

### 1/5 — Trend

*2024-11-26, version 1778*

Have paid for it but won’t download

### 5/5 — Trend micro

*2024-07-14, version 1778*

Feeling safer than I’ve ever felt.

### 2/5 — Trialling this app

*2024-07-01, version 1778*

Tha app is quite straightforward and easy to use. How good is it in protecting you? Hard to know. Not many reviews online and they usually focus on features and ease of use. It would be interesting to see if Trend Micro could get some people who have been hacked/compromised and see what happens when they input their personal info and do a scan. Maybe one of the tech security sites could also do an experiment like this. UPDATE June 30 2024 This app said my three emails were fine BUT the site Have I Been Pwned said that one of my emails was leaked in 2017. I sent a screenshot of their assessment to TM and subsequently uninstalled the app.

### 4/5 — ID security

*2024-06-09, version 1778*

Haven’t used enough to give
5 stars

### 5/5 — Language Setting Please

*2023-11-25, version 1778*

A language setting in the App can be very helpful. Now it just follow the system language and cannot be changed in the App. Also, it will be even better if we can have simplified Chinese for this App. The subscription covers 2 or 6 devices but it can only watch over 1 ird and 1 passport, 5 emails, which doesn’t really make sense when I subscribed for 6 devices. Being able to watch over more ID and ird will be much better.

### 5/5 — Automatically detects if your information is compromised

*2023-10-20, version 1778*

It gives you a very detailed report and alarm whenever your informational is compromised

### 1/5 — Very difficult to activate and use

*2023-07-28*

I have Identity Security but it doesn’t secure anything. All it does is offer upgrades to more of their Trend Monitor products that you need new subscriptions to.

**Developer response:** Hi. We are really sad to see your ratings for our app. Can you please share detailed feedback about the app at mobile@trendmicro.com? We assure you that we are working really hard to provide you with the best experience.

### 1/5 — App Fails to Respect User Privacy - Unresponsive Support

*2023-07-12, version 1778*

There wasn't an option for me to delete my personal data from their system, which is a critical violation of my privacy rights. 

I understand that issues arise, and to that end, I made numerous attempts to resolve this matter by contacting their privacy officer. Unfortunately, my efforts were in vain. I was met with complete silence, with no acknowledgement or response from their team, even after multiple attempts.

This persistent lack of response not only shows a disregard for user privacy but also a serious deficiency in their customer service. It raises a lot of red flags about the app's data management policies, making me question whether it should even be available on the App Store.

As a consumer, I strongly believe that we should be able to trust the applications we download, knowing that they value our personal data as much as we do. Unfortunately, this application has failed to meet this essential expectation. 

Given these circumstances, I would recommend a major caution when considering this app and support its removal from the App Store until they demonstrate a commitment to improving their data handling and customer service. 

- Aussie reviewer.

### 5/5 — Lucky me

*2023-07-08*

Im so glad I chose you! Everything is nice knowing that im protected by you 💟✝️💪🏻👈🏻

**Developer response:** Hi, T-49WINS! We commit to give you the best protection possible. Looking forward to more years of protecting you and your household. Cheers!

### 2/5 — Assumes you still have access to your email account

*2023-05-22, version 1778*

Having recently been hacked and lost administrator privileges in Google, all of my emails have been hijacked. This application sends a verification code to those addresses or no option to send a link via sms or another email ie to the hackers…
