What is this lawsuit about?
The Plaintiffs filed this lawsuit against the Defendant on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated regarding a Data Incident that occurred in August 2025, which may have resulted in the unauthorized access to or acquisition of Settlement Class Members’ Private Information. The Private Information involved includes some combination of names, postal addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license numbers. Defendant denies the legal claims and denies any wrongdoing or liability. The Court has not made any determination of any wrongdoing by Defendant or that any law has been violated. Instead, the Plaintiffs and Defendant have agreed to a settlement to avoid the risk, cost, and time of continuing the lawsuit.

Why is there a settlement?
The Plaintiffs and Defendant do not agree about the legal claims made in this lawsuit. The lawsuit has not gone to trial, and the Court has not decided in favor of the Plaintiffs or Defendant. Instead, the Plaintiffs and Defendant have agreed to settle the lawsuit. The Class Representatives, Defendant, and their lawyers believe the Settlement is best for the Settlement Class because of the Settlement Class Member Benefits available and the risks and uncertainty associated with continuing the lawsuit.

How do I know if I am included in the Settlement?
You are included in the Settlement Class if your Private Information was impacted in the Data Incident.
Back To Top -
Are there exceptions to being included in the Settlement?
Yes. Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (a) all officers and directors of Defendant; (b) governmental entities; (c) the Judge assigned to the lawsuit, that Judge’s immediate family, and Court staff; and (d) any Settlement Class Member who timely and properly opts-out of the Settlement.

What does this Settlement provide?
If you are a Settlement Class Member, you may be eligible for the following Settlement Class Member Benefits:
Cash Payment A - Documented Losses
You may submit a Claim Form and provide reasonable documentation for losses related to fraud and/or identity theft as a result of the Data Incident for up to $5,000 per Settlement Class Member. Examples of reasonable documentation include, but are not limited to, telephone records, correspondence including emails, and/or receipts. Personal certifications, declarations, or affidavits from the Settlement Class Member do not constitute reasonable documentation but may be included to provide clarification, context, or support for other submitted reasonable documentation. You will not be reimbursed for expenses if you have been reimbursed for the same expenses by another source, including compensation provided in connection with the credit monitoring and identity theft protection product offered as part of the notification letter provided by the Defendant or otherwise. If you do not submit reasonable documentation supporting a loss, or if your Claim Form is invalid as determined by the Settlement Administrator and you do not cure your Claim Form, your Claim Form will be processed as if you elected Cash Payment B – Alternate Cash.
Cash Payment B – Alternate Cash
Instead of Cash Payment A, without providing documentation, you may submit a Claim Form to receive a pro rata (a legal term meaning equal share) Cash Payment in the estimated amount of $75.
Credit Monitoring
In addition to Cash Payment A or Cash Payment B, you may also submit a Claim Form to receive two years of free Credit Monitoring services.
Your Cash Payment may be subject to a pro rata (a legal term meaning equal share) increase if the amount of Valid Claims does not use the entire Net Settlement Fund. Alternatively, if the amount of Valid Claims exceeds the amount of the Net Settlement Fund, your Cash Payment may be subject to a pro rata reduction.
For purposes of calculating the pro rata increase or decrease, the Settlement Administrator must distribute the funds in the Net Settlement Fund first for payment of Credit Monitoring, then for Cash Payment A, and then to those electing Cash Payment B. Any pro rata increase or decreases to Cash Payments will be on an equal percentage basis.

What am I giving up to receive Settlement Class Member Benefits or stay in the Settlement Class?
Unless you exclude yourself (opt out), you will remain in the Settlement Class. If the Settlement is approved and becomes final, all Court orders and any judgments will apply to you and legally bind you. You will not be able to sue, continue to sue, or be part of any other lawsuit against the Released Parties about the Released Claims in this lawsuit. The specific rights you are giving up are called “Released Claims."

What are the Released Claims?
Section XIII of the Settlement Agreement describes the Releases, Released Claims, and Released Parties, in necessary legal terminology, so please read this section carefully. The Settlement Agreement is available at here. For questions regarding the Releases, Released Claims, or Released Parties and what the language in the Settlement Agreement means, you can also contact Class Counsel listed FAQ 14 for free, or you can talk to your own lawyer at your own expense.

What is the difference between objecting and asking to be excluded?
Objecting is simply telling the Court that you do not like something about the Settlement. You can object only if you stay in the Settlement Class. Opting out is telling the Court that you do not want to be part of the Settlement Class. If you opt out, you cannot object because you are no longer part of the Settlement.
Back To Top -
Do I have a lawyer in the lawsuit?
Yes. The Court has appointed Jeff Ostrow of Kopelowitz Ostrow P.A., Raina Borrelli of Strauss Borrelli PLLC, Gary M. Klinger of Milberg PLLC and Terence R. Coates of Markovits, Stock DeMarco, LLC as Class Counsel to represent you and the Settlement Class for the purposes of this Settlement. You may hire your own lawyer at your own cost if you want someone other than Class Counsel to represent you in this lawsuit.

Second Street, Room 712, Dayton, OH 45402. At this hearing, the Court will consider whether the Settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate and decide whether to approve the Settlement, and Class Counsel’s Application for Attorneys’ Fees, Costs, and Service Awards.
