This is not a solicitation from a lawyer. This is a Court approved Settlement Website. Please read this Settlement Website carefully and completely.&nbsp;THIS SETTLEMENT WEBSITE MAY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A proposed Settlement arising out of a data security incident has been reached with Lansing Community College. Between December 25, 2022, and March 15, 2023, an unauthorized actor was able to access files stored on LCC’s computer systems. As a result, Personal Information of individuals may have been accessed (the “Data Security Incident”). Impacted Personal Information may have included names and Social Security numbers relating to LCC employees, students, potential students, vendors, and others. If you were notified by Lansing Community College that your Personal Information may have been compromised because of the Lansing Community College Data Security Incident, you are included in this Settlement as a Class Member. •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the Settlement, Lansing Community College has agreed to establish a $1,450,000 Settlement Fund to be used to pay for one of the following benefits for Class Members: •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Documented Loss Payments – reimbursement for Actual Out-of-Pocket Losses, i.e., money spent or lost, that is more likely than not related to the LCC Data Security Incident (up to $2,000 per individual or $150,000 in the aggregate), not otherwise reimbursable by insurance; OR •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Alternative Cash Payments – a cash payment, the amount of which will depend on the number of Class Members who participate in the Settlement. •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Settlement Fund will also be used to pay for the Administrative Expenses, Court-approved Service Awards for the named Plaintiffs, and the attorney’s Fee Award and Costs. In addition, Lansing Community College has agreed to undertake certain remedial measures and enhanced security measures that they will continue to implement. •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Your legal rights will be affected whether you act or do not act. You should read this entire Settlement Website carefully.&nbsp;<figure class="table" style="width:99.15%;"><table class="ck-table-resized" style="border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 0%);"><colgroup><col style="width:29.83%;"><col style="width:70.17%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="background-color:hsl(0, 0%, 90%);border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 0%);" colspan="2">YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS IN THIS SETTLEMENT</td></tr><tr><td style="background-color:hsl(0, 0%, 90%);border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 0%);">FILE A CLAIM FORM DEADLINE: &nbsp;DECEMBER 30, 2024</td><td style="border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 0%);">Submitting a Claim Form is the only way that you can receive any of the monetary Settlement Benefits provided by this Settlement, including Documented Loss Payments and Alternative Cash Payments.
