Identity theft assistance - This service is included with The Personal home insurance policy. You can get free assistance from a lawyer to help recover your identity, or receive advice on how to prevent identity theft if it was stolen or you think it’s been stolen. However, it doesn’t cover any financial losses. Also, you will get access to a psychologist for a free one-hour telephone consultation to help with any stress that occurs as a result of your identity being stolen.

Alert program - The Personal gives policyholders free water and freeze detectors, meant to limit potential damage caused by a water leak. An alert gets sent to The Personal mobile app (available for iOS or Android devices) if the detector senses water or potential risk of freezing. You must have wifi in your home and a compatible smartphone or tablet. Additional detectors are available for $36 apiece.

Help with finding a recommended service provider - If you need work to get started quickly, The Personal has an online directory of emergency cleanup and home renovation experts in your area. The service providers offer a five-year warranty on work performed and will give you a detailed work plan so you can easily track their progress.
