National Soccer Coaches Association of America Removes ID Theft Worries for Members

Chandler, AZ (September 25, 2006) – LifeLock CEO Todd Davis announced this afternoon that the nation’s leader in identity theft prevention will partner with the NSCAA (National Soccer  Coaches Association of America) to offer protection to its more than 20,000 members. The NSCAA is the third athletic association to offer the first-of-its-kind ID Theft protection in the past three months.

According to The Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, a non-profit group in San Diego, more than 100 million people have been affected by data losses mid-February 2005. Just this summer alone, there have been 85 recorded cases of lost or stolen data, 61 of which came through stolen/lost laptops or computers. The lost/stolen data on the equipment has affected more than 3 million people.

“Working with an organization like the NSCAA is exciting,” said LifeLock CEO Todd Davis. “They clearly understand how overwhelming the problems from Identity Theft can be and now want to remove the threat for their members. It is very important to spread the message of prevention whenever possible and this partnership will certainly help with this effort.”
 
LifeLock is the nation’s first and only ID Theft Prevention Company that maintains active fraud alerts with the three major credit bureaus as well as ChexSystems. The LifeLock system makes personal information useless to everyone but the rightful owner. Every time someone attempts to open credit, change an address or make changes to bank accounts, LifeLock is there to ensure the right person is making the request.

Also unique to other products on the market, LifeLock removes a member’s name from solicitation lists and junk mail, eliminating a primary target of ID thieves – the pre-approved credit offer. Best of all, the LifeLock system is backed by a $1 million guarantee to completely fix any problems if a client was ever compromised.
“The NSCAA constantly searches for partnerships that offer our members significant, meaningful benefits,” said NSCAA President Louise Waxler. “Without question, our relationship with LifeLock achieves that goal. This program offers our members peace of mind in knowing that they are protected from one of the fastest growing threats in our society today.”
Based in Mission, Kan., the NSCAA is the largest coaches organization in the United States. Since its founding in 1941, it has grown to include more than 20,000 members who coach both genders at all levels of the sport. In addition to a national rankings program for colleges and high schools, NSCAA offers an extensive recognition program that presents nearly 10,000 individual awards every year. It fulfills its mission of coaching education through a nationwide program of clinics and week-long courses, teaching more than 3,000 soccer coaches each year.
