Frequently Asked Questions
If the DataDot location can be detected by black light, wouldn’t it be possible for thieves to find the DataDots and remove them?
Motor Vehicles
Up to 10,000 DataDots are sprayed on each motor vehicle or boat, making it impossible for thieves to find and remove them all. Key components will also have many DataDots on them.
Home and Business Assets
The DataDot application instructions advise that DataDots should be applied to valuables in both visible and hidden locations. In addition, it is suggested that at least five DataDots should be applied to each valuable and that a number of
"false" glue marks that do not contain DataDots should be made as well. Correctly following the application instructions will make it very difficult and time consuming for thieves to detect and remove all of the DataDots on an item.
What kind of adhesive is used to attach the DataDots to the surface of the identified item?
DataDots are suspended in a water-soluble ultra-violet light sensitive adhesive that becomes tack free in approximately 30 minutes and fully cured in 24 hours. Once the adhesive is cured, it is clear and water resistant.
What if I need more DataDots?
Additional DataDots can be ordered from ID Concepts, LLC. New DataDot numbers will be different from the your initial DataDot number, however, the system supports the registration of multiple DataDot numbers to a single user.
Can I get an insurance discount when I implement the DataDot Identification system?
Identify USA is working with various US insurance companies to provide homeowner, business and motor vehicle insurance gap discounts. Contact your insurance agent to find out about whether or not your insurance company offers discounts for customers that make the effort to implement the DataDot system.
If I implement DataDot, do I still need an alarm system?
While the DataDot system is crucial for recovery of valuables and subsequent conviction of thieves, the warning labels that are included with the DataDot system have also been proven to deter thieves. In fact, measured results from DataDot Identification programs indicate that more than 80% of the time, thieves move on after realizing that a vehicle, or property and contents are identified by DataDot. While the DataDot system has been proven to deter thieves without the ongoing expense of an alarm contract, it can’t prevent a robbery to the extent of a professionally installed alarm system. Therefore, the best way to protect your family and valuables is to implement both systems.
