CARLSBAD, Calif.: mePrism Inc., a leader in consumer and commercial data privacy, today announced it is officially rebranding its flagship privacy suite as PrivacyCloak. This transformation marks a definitive shift in the industry, moving away from the "notification-only" model of traditional identity theft protection and toward a proactive, preventative strategy that secures consumers in both the digital and physical worlds.

The rebrand to PrivacyCloak reflects the company’s core mission: to make users invisible to those who would exploit their personal information. While incumbent services focus on alerting consumers after their data has been compromised, PrivacyCloak empowers users to prevent the compromise from occurring in the first place.

Privacy is Protection

PrivacyCloak operates on the principle that the only way to truly secure a digital identity is to reduce its attack surface. The service focuses on the critical pillars of digital safety that yield real-world results:

• Minimization: Automatically scrubbing personal data from hundreds of "people search" sites and data brokers on the open web to eliminate the source of the threat.
• Credit Freezing: Providing guided, seamless paths for users to freeze their credit-the single most effective barrier against fraudulent accounts.
• Social Media Privacy Controls: Adjusts the privacy settings of social media accounts to minimize data leakage and exposure.

A Clear Win Over "Low-Value" Alternatives

For too long, consumers have been sold a false sense of security through credit monitoring and identity theft insurance. Other data removal services are ineffective, often leading to a false sense of security. Privacy Cloak uniquely combines breadth of coverage, with efficacious results.

"The industry has relied on 'low-value' insurance policies as a band-aid for a systemic problem," said Tom Daly, Founder of mePrism Inc. "PrivacyCloak is the cure. By minimizing your footprint on the open web and adopting rigorous hygiene like credit freezes, you aren’t just monitoring the fire-you’re removing the fuel. This is a clear win for victims of data breaches and any consumer who understands what actually makes them safer online."

Real-World Safety

In an era of constant data breaches, the distinction between digital and physical safety has vanished. A minimized digital footprint leads to fewer phishing attempts, a lower risk of physical stalking, and the near-elimination of unauthorized financial accounts. PrivacyCloak provides the "cloak" that allows consumers to navigate the modern world with genuine confidence.

Starting today, current mePrism Privacy users will see the transition to the new PrivacyCloak interface, featuring enhanced automated as well as social media privacy controls combined with a streamlined dashboard for managing credit security and MFA protocols.
