Guardian of cars and now of your good name

LifeLock, an identity-theft prevention and protection company from Tempe, Arizona, last week announced a partnership with AAA Connecticut Motor Club.

“Once we had the opportunity to explain the value of what LifeLock offers, AAA was very receptive,” said Steven McGrady, vice president of strategic alliance at Life Lock. “It”™s a natural existence of our demographic.”

The partnership will provide a preferred discount to AAA club members and employees to protect their identities. AAA and LifeLock”™s relationship began with AAA Florida Motor Club, making Connecticut the second state to add the identity-theft prevention services.

“AAA Connecticut Motor Club is in a unique position to be one of the first travel services to offer our complete identity theft prevention service,” said Todd Davis, LifeLock CEO. “AAA members and employees will now be able to go where they want, whenever they want and never worry about identity theft being a problem.”

LifeLock sets and automatically renews fraud alerts with major credit bureaus, removing member names from pre-approved credit card offers and junk mail lists.
