3 Data Breach Settlements to Know About in April 2026

Several data breach class action settlements are making news this month, affecting consumers, students, and employees across the country. From a sportswear giant to a school-focused education platform, the cases below involve allegations of inadequate data protection — and each carries a window for eligible individuals to file a claim.

If your personal information was exposed in any of these incidents, you may be running out of time to seek compensation. Here's what you need to know.

1. Naviance / Cherry Creek School District Data Breach Settlement

Deadline: Check the settlement website for the current claims deadline

Estimated Payout: Varies by claim type

Who Qualifies: Students and families whose data was allegedly exposed in the 2024 Naviance data breach

Families in the Cherry Creek School District recently received a notice that left some parents puzzled — an email informing students of a class action settlement tied to a 2024 data breach involving Naviance, a widely used web-based education platform. As reporting from DataBreaches.net notes, the Cherry Creek School District subsequently sent its own message to families confirming the settlement notice was legitimate.

The class action lawsuit stems from the alleged 2024 breach of Naviance, a platform used by students and school districts nationwide for college and career readiness planning. Because the platform handles student data — which may include sensitive personal information — the case raises particular concerns about the privacy of minors. The school district's clarification underscores how these notices can cause confusion when they arrive directly in student inboxes.

The lawsuit alleges that the breach compromised student information, though the precise categories of exposed data and the full scope of the incident have prompted questions from affected families.

How to claim: Visit the official Naviance data breach settlement website for eligibility details and claim instructions. Note that the Cherry Creek School District is not a defendant — the lawsuit targets Naviance's operator.

2. Mizuno Data Breach Class Action Settlement

Deadline: Check the settlement website for the current claims deadline

Estimated Payout: Up to $5,475, depending on documented losses

Who Qualifies: Consumers whose personal information was allegedly compromised in the 2024 Mizuno data breach

Mizuno, the well-known sporting goods and apparel company, has agreed to a class action settlement to resolve claims related to a 2024 data breach that allegedly compromised consumer information, according to settlement records. The company has not admitted wrongdoing as part of the agreement.

The settlement makes available compensation of up to $5,475 for eligible claimants who can document out-of-pocket losses tied to the breach. Individuals who experienced lower-level impacts may be eligible for smaller flat-rate payments. As is typical with data breach settlements, proof requirements may vary depending on the tier of compensation being sought.

Mizuno sells products widely in the United States through retail and e-commerce channels, meaning the pool of potentially affected consumers could be substantial.

How to claim: Visit the official Mizuno data breach settlement website to review eligibility criteria, required documentation, and submission instructions before the claims deadline.

3. Complete Payroll Solutions Data Breach — $2.6 Million Settlement

Deadline: Check the settlement website for the current claims deadline

Estimated Payout: Portion of $2.6 million fund; individual amounts will vary

Who Qualifies: Individuals whose personal information was allegedly exposed in the Complete Payroll Solutions data breach

Complete Payroll Solutions, a payroll and HR services provider, has agreed to a $2.6 million class action settlement to resolve allegations stemming from a data breach that may have exposed sensitive employee and consumer information, according to settlement records. The company has not admitted liability.

Payroll and HR platforms are considered high-value targets in data security incidents because they routinely handle Social Security numbers, bank account details, tax information, and other highly sensitive personal data. The lawsuit alleges that Complete Payroll Solutions failed to adequately protect this information, resulting in unauthorized access.

Eligible claimants could receive a share of the $2.6 million fund, though individual payouts will depend on the total number of valid claims submitted. Documentation of losses tied to the breach may increase the amount a claimant could receive.

How to claim: Visit the official Complete Payroll Solutions data breach settlement website to determine eligibility and submit a claim before the deadline.

Key Takeaways

• Student data is not immune. The Naviance settlement is a reminder that education platforms handle significant amounts of personal information about minors — and that school-adjacent breaches can generate confusion for families when notices arrive unexpectedly.
• Payroll breaches carry elevated risk. When HR and payroll providers are involved, the exposed data often includes Social Security numbers and financial account information — among the most sensitive categories of personal data.
• Documented losses may mean higher payouts. Across all three settlements, claimants with receipts or records showing out-of-pocket costs tied to the breach may be eligible for more than those filing without documentation.
• Deadlines can pass quickly. Settlement claim windows are often shorter than people expect. Check each settlement's official website for the most current deadline information.
• You don't always need a receipt. Many data breach settlements allow claimants to attest to their eligibility without a purchase receipt — but check each settlement's specific requirements.
