| Identity Masquerade™ | Disguise your identity to prevent identity theft!™ An integral part of your strategy to prevent identity theft has to include preventing disclosure of your identity. The more you disclose it, the more you're susceptible. That's where the Identity Masquerade comes in. The Identity Masquerade is our proprietary credit checking system designed with you in mind. We designed our unique credit checking system to give everyone what they need, only more securely. You get your credit checked more securely and the company gets a complete credit report from Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. How? Instead of providing the salesperson or broker with your Social Security Number, you give them a temporary "disguise" or, security key that you generate on-demand. That's it! That's what the business uses to check your credit. And because it's temporary, it expires and your credit can't be checked against it ever again, until you generate a new one. Now, that's true privacy and security. But, the security doesn't end there. MasqMe's tri-merged credit report is the standard credit report used in the industry and comes from the same providers; Equifax™, Experian™ and TransUnion™. The credit report contains your FICO scores, credit and job history, list of inquiries and everything else, making for a complete report, but with one major difference; your Social Security Number is blocked out (***-**-****) on the credit report, to prevent identity theft! This security measure makes it safer for storage. In the event that the credit report is lost or stolen, no worries! Your Social Security Number is blocked out for your protection! Protection only offered by MasqMe's Identity Masquerade! Merchant participation is required. MasqMe's secure credit checking system is slightly different then what they're used to. But we make it easy for them to join. Please note that MasqMe credit reports are not consumer credit reports. Our reports are tri-merged credit reports that business uses to determine your credit worthiness for purchases requiring credit.

| Personal Security Patch™ | Like software, our personal lives have security holes that need sealing.

| Assigned SSN¹ ™ | The US Social Security Administration strongly urges all organizations that use Social Security Numbers as the primary identifier in their record keeping systems to use "alternate identifiers" as opposed to a customer's actual social security number. As an option, MasqMe automatically creates a unique alternate identifier called "Assigned SSN" which can be used as an alternate to your social security when identifying yourself with a company that has provided financing, as opposed to using the last four of your social. Note: this is an alternate identifier, not a replacement for your government issued social security number. Learn about MasqMe's Assigned SSN. | |
| Personal Health Record | Prevent healthcare identity theft with MasqMe. With a MasqMe account you can manage and secure your own personal health record. Maintaining your own personal health record is one of the best ways to prevent identity theft and have constant access to your health information over the course of your lifetime. Whether you change physicians or your physician relocates or retires, by keeping your own personal health record you will have vital information at your fingertips. How does it work? When you wish to share your health record with your physician, you simply generate a temporary disguise and give it to your physician† via email, fax or phone. Your physician will simply log into their account so they can download your record, make changes and then upload your record back into your MasqMe account. It's that simple. Most of us grew up thinking that “the doctor knows best.” What this meant was that the medical record that was kept in the doctor’s office, hospital, dentist, ophthalmologist or optometrist, was the property of the provider. We didn’t ask to see what was in it, and no one ever offered to share. In fact, it was pretty clear that we were not allowed to touch, and certainly not look at what was being documented about us. Well, times have certainly changed, thanks to two major events:
What this means for you, as you think about creating your own Personal Health Record (PHR), is that it’s now much easier for you to ask for your records. No doctor is surprised any more when a patient asks for copies of test results or a written consultation. It’s your right, so what are you waiting for? Prevent identity theft and start building your PHR on your next visit at the doctors and introduce your physician to MasqMe! You can download a blank form to start with, or ask your physician to send your health record to you so you can manage it from your MasqMe account! You’ll be surprised how easy it is! |
