What You Can Do

If you received a notification from Royal Chemical Company or believe your information was compromised, here are the steps you should take to protect your personal and financial data:

  2. Monitor Your Financial Accounts: Regularly review your bank and credit card statements for any unauthorized transactions or suspicious activities. Report any discrepancies to your financial institution immediately.
  3. Review Your Credit Reports: You are entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Check your credit reports for any fraudulent accounts or unauthorized inquiries.
  4. Place a Fraud Alert or Credit Freeze: Consider placing a fraud alert on your credit file, which alerts creditors to verify your identity before granting credit. Alternatively, you can place a credit freeze, which prevents creditors from accessing your credit file altogether.
