$1.5M Freestyle Solutions data breach class action settlement

Freestyle Software, which does business as Freestyle Solutions, and Sturm, Ruger & Co. agreed to a $1.5 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims surrounding a 2020 data breach.

The Freestyle Solutions data breach class action settlement benefits individuals who received a notice from Sturm, Ruger & Co. informing them that their personal information may have been compromised in a data breach in September 2020.

The Freestyle Solutions data breach occurred in September 2020 and compromised personal information such as names, addresses, credit and debit card information, product descriptions, purchase prices and product quantities. Plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit claimed Freestyle Solutions failed to prevent the data breach by implementing reasonable cybersecurity measures.

If you received a data breach letter within the past six months notifying you that your personal information was compromised in a different data breach, you may be eligible to pursue compensation. See if you qualify.
