Protecting your identity should be as easy as flipping a switch…<\/em><\/span><\/h1>\n

\"iDovos<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What is iDovos?<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

iDovos\u2122 works by placing an electronic on\/off switch on credit, debit, and other\u00a0financial accounts. Personal credit availability can also be protected and controlled for\u00a0loan applications. All identity assets can be controlled using a phone or browser. In\u00a0effect, it functions as an electronic gatekeeper which permits access to financial assets\u00a0only when you give permission for your identity to be used.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Control the use of your identity<\/span><\/h3>\n

The key to iDovos is personal control over how identity is used. Once you protect, i.e.\u00a0‘turn off’, a credit or debit card, brokerage or bank account, personal line of credit, etc., the system immediately notifies the appropriate transaction verification services\u00a0and consumer reporting agencies that no transactions are to be approved for the\u00a0protected identity asset. In short, you decide exactly when your assets will be made\u00a0available for transaction, and the rest of the time they remain ‘locked’ and out of\u00a0harms way. All you need is an iDovos account and an internet or telephone connection.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prevent identity misuse<\/span><\/h3>\n

While other identity protection systems are merely reactive (only responding after\u00a0fraud has been attempted), iDovos actually prevents the occurrence of identity misuse\u00a0and fraudulent transactions by allowing you to exert pinpoint control over the\u00a0accessibility of your identity assets. Thanks to the patent-pending technology known as\u00a0Positive Identity Control (SM), they remain ‘locked’ and therefore beyond the reach of\u00a0any potential thief until you decide to use them.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, absolutely no personally identifying information is stored by iDovos.\u00a0Registered assets are designated and monitored, with their availability states\u00a0transmitted to transaction verification services by means of a generated algorithmic\u00a0token which neither utilizes nor contains any asset-specific information. The token\u00a0functions simply as a ‘handshake’ between iDovos and the appropriate second-party, and\u00a0would be completely useless in the hands of a criminal. The result is that the iDovos\u00a0account itself is in no way a target for identity theft.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Manage your account from home or on the go<\/span><\/h3>\n

Assets protected by iDovos can be managed via a touchtone phone or\u00a0web browser. Protected assets can be placed on \u201cautopilot\u201d so that\u00a0they are enabled for specific time frames during the week. For\u00a0example, your debit card might be configured to be available from 6\u00a0to 8:30 AM on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Set it, forget it<\/span><\/h3>\n

iDovos also has the ability to place a\u00a0countdown timer on asset availability. This\u00a0\u201cegg-timer\u201d capability permits identity asset\u00a0use beginning at the point the timer is\u00a0activated for the amount of time you specify.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • For example: You might activate a high limit credit card for 6\u00a0hours beginning Saturday afternoon at 1:15 PM. Transactions\u00a0using your identity for this asset will be permitted between\u00a01:15 and 7:15 PM. Six hours after the asset was enabled for\u00a0use, it again becomes useless to anyone that might try to use\u00a0the credit card illegally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Take your personal credit out of harms way<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Your \u201cnew personal credit\u201d asset will remain disabled almost all of the time. This is\u00a0because you, like most people, rarely seek new credit. When you do get ready to apply\u00a0for additional credit, you just enable the “new personal credit” asset for the time frame\u00a0required by the lender and then turn it off once the application process is complete.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The vision behind iDovos rests on three simple principles:<\/span><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • It will never be possible to keep identity information from
      \nbeing stolen. The market value of this information is simply
      \ntoo great and the information too widely dispersed to
      \nprevent theft.<\/li>\n
    • The best way to reduce the incidence of identity theft is to
      \nmake it a worthless endeavor.<\/li>\n
    • You will always be the most trustworthy guardian of your
      \nidentity because you are the one with the most to lose if
      \nyour identity is not properly protected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

       <\/p>\n

      \u00a0“Identity data is devalued due to the level of uncertainty created by the iDovos<\/em><\/span>
      \n\u00a0system…Criminals can never be sure if a stolen credit card or social security number<\/em><\/span>
      \n\u00a0has any value whatsoever…” \u2013 Gary Dennis, CEO Mantissa<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
