International Coffee Data Security Incident Settlement

You may choose one of these base options:
• A Documented Loss Payment of up to $5,000 for qualifying out-of-pocket losses.
• An Alternative Cash Payment expected to be $25, with the final amount potentially higher or lower depending on total claims.
If you were a California resident at any point from April 5, 2024 through February 10, 2027, you may add the California Resident Cash Payment to either base option. It is listed as $75, though it may be reduced proportionally if there are many claims.
You cannot receive both the Documented Loss Payment and the Alternative Cash Payment.

Examples include losses from identity theft or fraud, fees for credit reports, monitoring, or credit freezes, replacement identification costs, and postage used to contact banks.
The expense must have been caused by the Data Security Incident, incurred between April 5, 2024 and February 10, 2027, and not already reimbursed by another party.
Send reasonable documents, such as receipts, showing the loss and amount. A personal certification, declaration, or affidavit by itself does not count as sufficient documentation, though it can help explain other documents.

You must provide proof of California residency during the claims period.
A sworn attestation meets the notice’s proof requirement for this payment.
The notice says this payment is available if you were a California resident at any point from April 5, 2024 through February 10, 2027.

All Settlement Class Members may enroll in one year of CyEx Financial Shield Complete. Enrollment codes were sent by postcard.
The service includes monitoring for fraud or identity theft, unauthorized financial transactions, and personal information used in high-risk transactions. It also includes access to a fraud-resolution agent if something suspicious occurs.
If you no longer have your code, contact the Settlement Administrator.

Cash awards are paid from the money left in the $900,000 Settlement Fund after the listed fees, costs, service awards, administration, and one year of monitoring are paid.
The Alternative Cash Payment is expected to be $25, but can change based on the total number of claims. The California payment may be reduced proportionally based on claims.
The notice says the fund is intended to be exhausted and paid out pro rata to claimants. It does not promise that any claimant will receive a particular final amount.

Submit a Claim Form online by February 10, 2027, or mail a completed and signed form to the Settlement Administrator.
A mailed form, including any supporting documentation, must be postmarked by February 10, 2027.
You can request a form by telephone, email, or mail if needed.

Payments can be issued only if the Court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved.
The Final Approval Hearing is scheduled for April 15, 2027, at 10:30 a.m. Pacific Time, but the notice does not give a payment date.
A hearing date passing does not mean the settlement has been approved or that payments are ready.

To leave the settlement, mail an Opt-Out Request postmarked by January 11, 2027.
The request must identify the case, give your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address, include your personal signature, and say that you want to opt out or use similar clear wording.
Opting out means you cannot receive settlement benefits, including cash or credit monitoring, but you keep any rights you may have to bring your own case about the legal issues involved.
