A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit concerning Defendant Rumpke Consolidated Companies, Inc. (“Defendant” or “Rumpke”) and a data incident (the “Data Incident”) that occurred in October 2024, when one or more unauthorized individuals allegedly accessed information on a database belonging to Rumpke, including names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, Social Security numbers, health insurance plan enrollment and account information, medical diagnosis and treatment information, health insurance billing and payment data, driver’s license or state identification numbers, financial account information, and other sensitive, confidential data (collectively, “Private Information”).

The lawsuit is called In re Rumpke Data Incident Litigation, No. A2404930 (Hamilton County). The lawsuit asserts claims related to the Data Incident. The Defendant in the lawsuit is Rumpke. Rumpke denies any wrongdoing or that it is or can be held liable for the claims made in the lawsuit. The Settlement does not establish who is correct but rather is a compromise to end the lawsuit.

Members of the Class are all United States residents whose Private Information was implicated in the Data Incident, including all United States residents to whom Defendant sent direct notice of the Data Incident. The Class specifically excludes: (i) all persons who timely and validly request exclusion from the Class; (ii) the Judge assigned to evaluate the fairness of this Settlement (including any members of the Court’s staff assigned to this case); (iii) Defendant’s officers and directors, and (iv) any person found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be guilty under criminal law of initiating, causing, aiding or abetting the criminal activity occurrence of the Data Incident or who pleads nolo contendere to any such charge.

Class Members are eligible to receive the following relief: (1) up to $5,000.00 in reimbursement for documented out of pocket losses and expenses resulting from the Data Incident, and (2) a cash payment between roughly $237.50 and $475 (assuming a claims rate of 5-10% of the roughly 16,946-person Settlement Class), which will be pro rata increased or decreased based on the money still remaining in the Settlement Fund at the time of payment; and/or (3) one (1) year of 3-bureau identity theft and credit monitoring protection. All three forms of relief may be combined. The Settlement Administrator will post additional information about the payment amount on this Settlement website. For complete details, please see the Settlement Agreement, whose terms control.
