About This Settlement

Americold has not admitted any wrongdoing but has agreed to a $5.25 million settlement to resolve these claims. This page is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

Who Qualifies

• You may be eligible to participate in this settlement if you meet the following criteria:
• You were notified by Americold that your personal information was impacted by the data breach in November 2020, the data breach in April 2023, or both
• You are an individual (not a business entity) whose information was allegedly exposed in one or both of these incidents

What You May Receive

Eligible class members may receive the following benefits, depending on the number of breaches they were affected by and the losses they incurred:

• Up to $25,000 for documented, unreimbursed losses related to the data breaches — such as communication expenses, credit report costs, credit monitoring fees, and identity theft damages. Supporting documentation is required for this claim type.
• An estimated residual cash payment of up to $200 if you were notified of both data breaches, or up to $100 if you were notified of only one breach. No documentation is required for residual cash payments.
• Three years of free credit monitoring services, including at least $1 million in identity theft protection coverage.

Actual payout amounts are not guaranteed and may vary based on claim volume and eligibility determinations.
