The Court has defined the Class this way: “All Persons who received direct notice that their Private Information may have been compromised as a result of the Data Breach.” Excluded from the Class are: (1) Albany Gastro and its officers, directors, and related companies; (2) governmental entities; and (3) the Judge in this case, and the Judge’s family and staff. Payout: All Settlement Class Members will automatically receive an enrollment code for Credit Monitoring and may claim one of the Cash Payment options.

Cash Payment A – Compensation for Out-of-Pocket Expenses: “If you incurred actual, documented out-of-pocket losses due to the Data Breach, you can get back your documented losses. The losses must have occurred before October 5, 2026.” Cash Payment B – Alternative Cash Payment: “Instead of Cash Payment A, you may claim a one-time cash payment. This payment's amount depends on the total number of claims filed. You do not have to provide any proof or explanation to claim this payment.” “There is a total cap on these cash benefits, split between a cap for Cash Payment A and a cap for Cash Payment B.”.
