San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/12/2014 -- San Francisco, CA — With the frequent security and data breaches, the BestIDTheftCompanys.com (BIDTC) Research Team hypothesized that consumers would be most concerned about their information that is within company databases, but results showed differently.

BIDTC took a poll of approximately 1,000 random and asked them, “Regarding identity theft, what type of information do you think is the most vulnerable?” Answers include:

A. My information that is saved online – 31.6%
B. My physical documents (license, Social Security card, etc.) – 25.8%
C. My information that is saved in company databases – 20.8%
D. My information that is saved on my computer – 20.1%
E. All of the Above – 1.7%

The BIDTC Research Team conducts these polls not only to better the expert knowledge within BestIDTheftCompanys.com, but to also help companies in the industry improve their product quality.

“We believe that identity theft protection companies should take this information to help better their services for consumers,” said website manager Amber Newby. “All companies in this industry should make sure they offer services that can protect information that is saved online, since most people believe that is where they are most susceptible to becoming an identity theft victim.”

Newby said that BIDTC predicts that the companies who do offer that service will give many of their customers peace of mind, therefore leading to a happier and committed customer.

The BIDTC Research Team also broke down survey responses into demographics analyses, which can help further interpret some of the data. Listed below are a couple of those insights without any accompanying conclusions or theories.

In each of the response options (A through E), men and women showed approximately an equal response rate, except for two of the responses. Women showed more responses to “physical documents” where men showed more responses to “information saved in company databases.”

Another insight the BIDTC Research Team found was that people who made more than $100,000 each year displayed an overwhelming response to information that is either saved online or in company databases.
