any other credit reporting agency. Entities that may still have access to your Equifax credit report include: companies like ID Watchdog, which provide you with access
to your credit report or credit score, or monitor your credit report as part of a subscription or similar service; companies that provide you with a copy of your credit
report or credit score, upon your request; federal, state, and local government agencies and courts in certain circumstances; companies using the information in
connection with the underwriting of insurance, or for employment, tenant or background screening purposes; companies that have a current account or relationship
with you, and collection agencies acting on behalf of those whom you owe; companies that authenticate a consumer’s identity for purposes other than granting
credit, or for investigating or preventing actual or potential fraud; and companies that wish to make pre-approved offers of credit or insurance to you. To opt out of
pre-approved offers, visit www.optoutprescreen.com. (2)Monitoring from TransUnion and Experian will take several days to begin. (3)The monitored network does

(4)Dark Web Monitoring scans thousands of internet sites where consumers’ personal information is suspected of being bought and sold, and is constantly
adding new sites to those it searches. However, the internet addresses of these suspected internet trading sites are not published and frequently change,
so there is no guarantee that ID Watchdog is able to locate and search every possible internet site where consumers’ personal information is at risk of being
traded.
