Proof of Purchase
To file online, claimants generally need the Unique ID and PIN from the mailed/email settlement notice (or request help from the administrator by providing name and mailing address). For out-of-pocket expense reimbursement, provide receipts, bills, statements, or similar documentation. For identity theft/fraud losses, submit bank/credit statements or comparable records showing the loss and indicating it is connected to the incident, and confirm it was not otherwise reimbursed and that recovery efforts (e.g., through insurance) were attempted where relevant. For lost time, provide a short description of the activities and attest the time was spent addressing the incident. No documentation is needed for the $35 alternative cash payment.
Settlement Summary
Parksite Inc. agreed to a class action settlement after a targeted cyberattack on its systems between December 2023 and January 2024 allegedly allowed unauthorized access to files containing sensitive personal information, including names and Social Security numbers. Data like SSNs is especially valuable for identity theft and account fraud, so even when misuse isn’t immediately detected, affected consumers often face real-world burdens such as credit freezes, account monitoring, password resets, and time spent disputing suspicious activity. The lawsuit was filed on the theory that Parksite failed to adequately safeguard the data and that consumers were harmed by the exposure and resulting risk, prompting claims typical in breach cases: reimbursement for out-of-pocket costs and identity-theft losses, plus credit monitoring. Under the settlement, eligible U.S. residents who received breach notice can seek documented expenses (up to $600) and certain fraud/identity-theft losses (up to $4,000) for incident-related harm over a defined period, or choose a smaller no-documentation cash payment, reflecting how courts and parties often balance proof challenges with the practical need to compensate many people efficiently. More broadly, this case fits a well-established pattern in U.S. data-breach litigation, where companies frequently deny wrongdoing yet settle to avoid the uncertainty and expense of fighting over issues like “standing” (whether increased risk of identity theft counts as a concrete injury) and causation (whether a specific fraud loss can be traced to a particular breach). It also sits within a growing regulatory and industry backdrop: state data-breach notification laws (like Massachusetts’ reporting and consumer notice requirements) push rapid disclosure, while expectations around “reasonable security” and incident response are increasingly shaped by state attorneys general enforcement, FTC oversight in certain contexts, and sector-specific rules where applicable, making these settlements a de facto mechanism for setting consumer remedies and pressuring stronger cybersecurity practices across industries
