The breach allegedly compromised names, contact information, financial data, Social Security numbers, and other sensitive personal information. Telmate has not admitted any wrongdoing but has agreed to a $4,225,000 class action settlement to resolve these allegations.

What You May Receive

If you submit a valid claim, you may receive two forms of compensation:

• Pro Rata Cash Payment: You may receive a pro rata share of the remaining settlement fund. The exact amount will depend on the total number of valid claims filed, the amount of approved documented loss claims, and the balance of the fund after court-approved deductions. No documentation is required to receive this payment.
• Out-of-Pocket Loss Reimbursement: You may receive up to an estimated $5,000 for unreimbursed out-of-pocket losses that are more likely than not attributable to the Telmate data breach. Supporting documentation is required to receive this reimbursement.

Payout amounts are not guaranteed and will vary based on claim volume and court-approved deductions.
