Data Breach and TCPA Settlements to Watch This Spring 2026

Several privacy and data-related class action settlements are drawing attention this spring, with deadlines approaching for consumers affected by corporate data breaches and unwanted telemarketing contacts. From a major car rental company to a sports equipment brand to a payroll services firm, the cases below cover a wide range of industries — and a wide range of potential payouts.

Several of these matters are actively accepting claims. Here's what affected consumers may need to know.

1. Avis Data Breach Class Action Settlement

Deadline: Check settlement website for current deadline

Estimated Payout: Varies by claim type

Who Qualifies: Individuals whose personal information was allegedly compromised in the Avis data breach

Avis has agreed to a class action settlement to resolve claims arising from a data breach that allegedly exposed customer personal information. According to the settlement details, individuals who received a notice of the breach may be eligible to submit a claim for compensation.

Data breach settlements of this type typically allow class members to claim reimbursement for out-of-pocket losses tied to the incident, as well as a base cash payment for those who cannot document specific expenses.

How to claim: Visit the Avis data breach settlement page for claim form details and current deadline information.

2. Mizuno Data Breach Class Action Settlement

Deadline: Check settlement website for current deadline

Estimated Payout: Up to $5,475

Who Qualifies: Consumers whose information was allegedly exposed in Mizuno's 2024 data breach

Mizuno USA has agreed to a class action settlement to resolve allegations that a 2024 data breach compromised consumer personal information, according to reporting by Top Class Actions. The lawsuit alleged that Mizuno failed to adequately protect the data it collected from customers.

Eligible claimants may be able to recover up to $5,475, depending on the nature of documented losses. Those who can show out-of-pocket expenses — such as costs related to identity theft protection, fraudulent charges, or time spent addressing breach-related issues — may be eligible for higher compensation tiers.

How to claim: Review eligibility requirements and locate the claim form through the settlement administrator's website.

3. Complete Payroll Solutions $2.6 Million Data Breach Settlement

Deadline: Check settlement website for current deadline

Estimated Payout: Varies; settlement fund totals $2.6 million

Who Qualifies: Individuals affected by the Complete Payroll Solutions data breach

Complete Payroll Solutions has agreed to a $2.6 million class action settlement to resolve claims stemming from a data breach that allegedly exposed sensitive employee and consumer information, according to Top Class Actions. Payroll companies typically handle particularly sensitive data — including Social Security numbers, banking details, and wage information — making breaches in this sector a significant concern for affected individuals.

The settlement fund will be distributed among eligible claimants, with individual payouts dependent on the number of valid claims filed and the documentation provided.

How to claim: Visit the settlement administrator's website for eligibility details and claim submission instructions.

4. TCPA Telemarketing Text Message Settlement — $3,787 Per Claimant

Deadline: Check settlement website for current deadline

Estimated Payout: Approximately $3,787 per claimant

Who Qualifies: Individuals who received allegedly unauthorized telemarketing text messages from the defendant

In what legal observers are describing as a notably high per-claimant recovery, a Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) class action settlement is set to distribute roughly $3,787 to each eligible class member, according to reporting from TCPA World. Such payouts represent a significant departure from historical TCPA settlements, which have traditionally distributed between $40 and $60 per class member.

The lawsuit alleged that the defendant sent telemarketing text messages without the required prior express consent, in violation of the TCPA. Under the statute, willful or knowing violations can expose companies to up to $1,500 per message sent.

The elevated per-person recovery in this case appears to be driven by a relatively small class size combined with a substantial settlement fund — a combination that, when it occurs, can result in meaningful individual payouts.

How to claim: Check the settlement administrator's website for claim eligibility and submission details.

5. Register.com TCPA Settlement — $1.5 Million for 453 Class Members

Deadline: Check settlement website for current deadline

Estimated Payout: Potentially over $3,000 per eligible claimant

Who Qualifies: The approximately 453 class members identified in Lewis v. Register.com

Register.com has agreed to pay $1.5 million to settle TCPA claims brought by a class of just 453 members, according to reporting by TCPA World on the case Lewis v. Register.com, 2026 WL 930847. If approved, the settlement could result in a payout exceeding $3,000 per eligible class member — an unusually high figure by historical TCPA standards.

The lawsuit alleged that Register.com sent unsolicited communications in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The TCPA prohibits companies from making autodialed calls or sending prerecorded messages without prior express consent from the recipient, and establishes statutory damages of $500 to $1,500 per violation.

Legal commentators have noted that the size of the settlement relative to the class underscores growing financial exposure for companies that face TCPA litigation — particularly when class sizes are small and statutory damages accumulate quickly.

How to claim: Review the settlement terms through the court filing or settlement administrator for eligibility and claim instructions.

Key Takeaways

• Data breach settlements often have tiered payouts — claimants who can document out-of-pocket losses tied to a breach may be eligible for significantly more than those filing without receipts or records.
• TCPA settlements are trending upward — per-claimant recoveries in telemarketing cases have grown substantially, with some recent settlements distributing thousands of dollars to individual class members.
• Small classes can mean larger individual payouts — when a settlement fund is divided among fewer claimants, eligible individuals may receive more than they would in a large, high-volume case.
• Check your email for class notices — if you were affected by any of the data breaches above, you may have already received a notice with a unique ID that simplifies the claim process.
• Deadlines matter — missing a filing deadline typically means forfeiting any right to compensation from the settlement, regardless of eligibility.
