DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ID Watchdog, Inc. (TSX.V: IDW) (OTCQX: IDWAF), which provides acclaimed consumer-facing identity theft protection and resolution services, announced today that the initial reception and adoption of its idCHECK product among retail stores has been greater than anticipated.

Distribution efforts have been managed by InComm, who markets retail products across more than 150,000 partner locations worldwide. Made up of big box retailers and regional stores alike, InComm’s existing relationships include Target, Best Buy, 7-Eleven and many others.

“After kicking off preliminary marketing of idCHECK at our conference in January, demand has been very strong for the product among our retail partners,” said Brian Parlotto, Senior Vice President of Consumer Products for InComm. “We expect to have our first store go live in April with close to 10,000 more to follow before the end of the year. Initial commitments have been made by several retailers including huge players in convenience stores, grocery stores, big box, and discounters.”

ID Watchdog’s new retail product, idCHECK, utilizes ID Watchdog’s patent-pending technology to immediately identify whether a consumer has a pre-existing identity theft condition, and outlines recommended next steps based on the report. InComm will work with retailers to offer ID Watchdog’s idCHECK product at an attractive price point, with special offers to upgrade consumers to its flagship monthly monitoring service.

“We are gratified to have this early validation of the idCHECK concept,” said Daniel Mohan, President and COO of ID Watchdog. “The demand for new approaches to identity theft protection is strong and we are committed to maintaining our position as the industry leader in innovation.”
