Organization and Business
We provide innovative, information based solutions that help consumers manage risks and make better informed life decisions. Under our Identity Guard® brand and other brands that comprise our Personal Information Services segment, we help consumers monitor, manage and protect against the risks associated with their identities and personal information. We offer identity theft and privacy protection as well as credit monitoring services for consumers to understand, monitor, manage and protect their personal information and privacy. Under our Identity Guard® and recently launched Identity Guard® with Watson products, we help protect consumers against the risks associated with the inappropriate exposure of their personal information that can result in fraudulent use or reputation damage. Identity Guard® is offered to consumers through direct marketing or through organizations as an embedded product for employees or consumers. In late 2016, we expanded our suite of Identity Guard® products and launched Identity Guard® with Watson. Identity Guard® with Watson offers robust early detection of potential risks and provides personalized threat alerts with actionable steps to help keep our customers’ information private from the earliest stage possible. We believe that our suite of products and services offer consumers the most proactive and comprehensive identity theft monitoring service available on the market today.
We have ongoing operations in one other segment, Insurance and Other Consumer Services, and we divested two other segments, Pet Health Monitoring and Bail Bonds Industry Solutions. As part of our strategy to have a singular focus on our Personal Information Services segment, we recently sold: 1) the business comprising our Bail Bonds Industry Solutions segment in January 2017; 2) our Habits at Work business, the results of which are recorded in our Personal Information Services segment, in June 2017; and 3) the business comprising our Pet Health Monitoring segment in July 2017. Corporate headquarter office transactions including, but not limited to, payroll, share based compensation and other expenses related to our Chairman and non-employee Board of Directors are reported in our Corporate business unit.
 Our Insurance and Other Consumer Services segment includes insurance and membership products for consumers, delivered on a subscription basis. We are not planning to develop new business in this segment and are experiencing normal subscriber attrition due to ceased marketing and retention efforts. Some of our legacy subscriber portfolios have been cancelled, and our continued servicing of other subscribers may be cancelled as a result of actions taken by one or more financial institutions.
Our Pet Health Monitoring segment included the health and wellness monitoring products and services for veterinarians and pet owners through our former subsidiary, i4c Innovations, which does business as Voyce. Voyce generated substantial losses from formation to 2016 and, after concentrated efforts, was unable to generate an acceptable level of revenue. Effective July 31, 2017, we sold Voyce to a newly-formed entity of which Michael R. Stanfield, our Chairman and Founder, will be a minority investor. The results of this segment will be reported as a discontinued operation in accordance with U.S. GAAP beginning in the three months ending September 30, 2017. For additional information, please see Note 21.
Prior to January 31, 2017, our Bail Bonds Industry Solutions segment included the automated service solutions for the bail bonds industry provided by Captira Analytical ("Captira"). Effective January 31, 2017, we divested our ownership in Captira. This segment’s operating results have not had a major effect on our condensed consolidated financial results and are not classified as a discontinued operation. For additional information, please see Note 4.
