McAfee Corp., a global leader in online protection, announced the launch of its new McAfee Privacy & Identity Guard product available at Staples stores nationwide. McAfee’s Privacy & Identity Guard will help Staples customers safeguard their identity and privacy online.
In the U.S. 70% of adults are concerned about their ability to keep their information private. And more than half (52%) of U.S. adults want to be more in control of personal information and data online. Therefore, regaining control of personal data, and the data often most sought after by cybercriminals, has never been more important.
Staples customers will have access to McAfee Privacy & Identity Guard and will be able to proactively monitor and remove data online to help prevent potential identity theft and fraud. With an industry-leading set of features, McAfee Privacy & Identity Guard provides visibility into the risky places personal information is available, including the dark web, data broker sites, and sites that hold data tied to unused or old accounts. Customers can then take action to reduce the amount of personal data online and, in turn, lower the risk of identity theft.
Staples customers will also exclusively receive identity restoration services when purchasing McAfee Privacy & Identity Guard. This includes 24/7 access to restoration experts to help repair identity and credit if needed, as well as lost wallet assistance if ID, credit, or debit cards are lost or stolen.
McAfee Privacy & Identity Guard is a natural fit for on-the-go Staples customers and is sold in the travel section of select Staples stores. The section also includes various travel services such as passport photos, TSA PreCheck and fingerprinting services.
“We are proud to be able to offer Staples’ customers McAfee Privacy & Identity Guard,” says Craig Grayson, SVP, Services, Staples US Retail. “Identity and privacy protection is critical, and we are thrilled to be able to offer this product to better protect our customers wherever they work or learn.”
The launch of McAfee Privacy & Identity Guard marks the first release of a McAfee product focused solely on privacy and identity protection. The product can be used standalone or can also complement any existing device and online protection products.
“Over the past seven years McAfee has been an exclusive provider of various security services at Staples. We’re excited to continue to partner with Staples with the initial launch of McAfee Privacy & Identity Guard in the U.S. Empowering consumers with the tools they need to take control of and manage their personal information online is critical in protecting their identity and privacy. We’re proud to introduce this new online protection product in the U.S. and to provide holistic privacy and identity management for our customers,” said Gagan Singh, McAfee’s Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer.
