Brightline Inc. agreed to a class action settlement to resolve claims it failed to prevent a 2023 data breach that compromised consumer data.

The Brightline settlement benefits individuals who received a Brightline data breach notification informing them their information may have been compromised in a data breach.

The January 2023 Brightline data breach reportedly compromised the information of around 1 million individuals when a vendor vulnerability allowed hackers to access sensitive consumer data, including insurance information, Social Security numbers and other identifiers. Plaintiffs claim Brightline should have implemented reasonable cybersecurity measures to protect their information and prevent the data breach.

Brightline is a mental health provider for kids and teens.

Brightline hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to resolve the data breach class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the Brightline settlement, class members can receive a pro rata payment of up to $100 or reimbursement for documented data breach losses up to $5,000. In addition to these payments, class members from California can receive an additional $100 payment.

All class members are eligible for three years of free credit monitoring services. Class members who already claimed the two years of free credit monitoring offered by Brightline can receive an additional year of monitoring services.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Jan. 9, 2025.

The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Feb. 10, 2025.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Feb. 26, 2025.
