The Centerspace settlement resolves claims the company failed to protect personal information during a cybersecurity incident that occurred in or around November 2021.

The settlement benefits all individuals who reside in the United States and received notice from Centerspace that a security incident impacted their personal information.

The class action lawsuit alleges Centerspace requires prospective tenants, tenants, prospective employees and employees to disclose their personally identifiable information to receive housing and employment. However, the company allegedly failed to protect this information, resulting in a data breach. The lawsuit also alleges Centerspace failed to inform impacted individuals about the breach for about eight months.
