"NO WAIVER OF RIGHTS FOR THIS CYBER SECURITY INCIDENT
In response to consumer inquiries, we have made it clear that the arbitration clause and class action waiver included in the Equifax and TrustedID Premier terms of use does not apply to this cybersecurity incident."

#23how do i obtain my equifax user id?
It's given when you sign up for TrustedPremier. I have made it optional; the ToS says that it's required to opt out but doesn't indicate what to do if you don't have one (since the ToS still technically covers you if you enter your info)

Yep, I mention that in the "What's this all about" section. However, I don't know why anyone would want to give up their legal rights, especially to a company that has just proven that they can't keep your data secure.
