Rights every American has after a breach

These come from federal law and apply no matter which company lost your information or where you live.

  • A free credit freeze

    You can freeze your credit at Equifax, Experian and TransUnion for free. A freeze stops anyone opening new credit in your name, and you can lift it whenever you need to.
