If you are residing in the United States and you were sent a Breach Notice stating that your Personal Information was potentially compromised in the Data Incident discovered by ALEC on or about August 2, 2024, you may be a Class Member and eligible for Settlement Benefits. Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (1) the Judges presiding over this Action, and members of their direct families; (2) Defendant, its subsidiaries, parent companies, successors, predecessors, and any entity in which Defendant or its parents have a controlling interest; and (3) Settlement Class Members who submit a valid Request for Exclusion prior to the Opt-Out Deadline.
If you are a Settlement Class Member and wish to receive Settlement Benefits then you must submit a Claim Form by September 3, 2026.
ALEC has agreed to pay for a number of different benefits. Settlement Class Members have been sent an enrollment code for Financial Monitoring Services and may claim one or more cash payment options. The benefits are explained in more detail below.
Financial Monitoring Services. All Settlement Class Members are eligible to enroll in two (2) years of CyEx Financial Shield Pro. Enrollment codes have been sent to all Settlement Class Members. You will be able to activate the code for Financial Monitoring Services within 180 days after the Effective Date of the Settlement. If you no longer have your enrollment code, please contact the Settlement Administrator. This comprehensive service comes with $1 million of financial fraud insurance, and includes monitoring for:
If anything, suspicious happens, you will be able to talk to a fraud resolution agent to help fix any problems.
Reimbursement for Out-of-Pocket Losses. If you incurred actual, documented out-of-pocket losses due to the Data Incident, you can get back up to $2,500.00. The losses must have occurred between August 2, 2024, and September 3, 2026, and you cannot claim a payment for expenses that have already been reimbursed by a third party. This benefit covers out-of-pocket expenses like:
losses because of identity theft or fraud
fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or freezing and unfreezing your credit
cost to replace your IDs
postage to contact banks by mail
You need to submit proof, like bank statements or receipts, to show how much you spent or lost. You can also provide notes or papers you made yourself to explain or support other proof, but those notes or papers alone are not enough to make a valid claim. Your proof or notes should show that your expenses were because of the Data Incident.
Pro Rata Cash Payment. All Settlement Class Members may also claim a one-time cash payment. Defendant has agreed to pay $150,000.00 total for these claims. This amount will be divided equally between everyone who submits a valid claim. You do not have to provide any proof or explanation to claim this payment.
To start your online claim form, you must login with your Login ID and PIN. You can find your ID and PIN on the Notice that was sent to you. If you are unable to locate your ID & PIN, please contact the Settlement Administrator by emailing info@ALECDataSettlement.com. Please request your ID & PIN by providing your full name and mailing address.
