# Why am I seeing identity check alerts from the past?

As part of our free identity protection scan, we provide you with a retrospective 180-day history of Identity Check Alerts after you’ve verified your identity.

If you don’t recognise an Identity Check Alert, this could mean your information is out there and your details were used by someone else. Our Alerts will tell you which documents or identity details were compromised. Follow the links and recommendations within the Truyu Alert to help re-secure your information as efficiently as possible.

Subscribe to Truyu Alerts so that you receive notifications of any further instances of misuse.
