International Shoppes Data Incident Settlement: Losses or Cash

You can claim up to $4,000 for actual losses or expenses caused by the breach during November 16, 2023 through November 11, 2026. Examples include money lost to fraud or identity theft, credit-report or monitoring fees, credit freezes, replacement IDs and postage used to contact banks.

You must support the claim with records. An expense that a third party has already reimbursed cannot be paid again through this settlement.

Receipts and bank statements are examples of supporting records. They need to show how much you spent or lost, and the information you provide must connect that expense to the breach.

You may add personal notes to explain the records, but your own notes alone do not qualify as proof. The alternative cash option does not require loss records.

Yes. You can request the two-year CyEx monitoring service with either monetary option: documented-loss reimbursement or the estimated $50 payment.

You must choose between those two monetary options. The settlement does not let you collect both the reimbursement and the alternative cash payment.

The notice describes $50 as an expected amount that may be reduced. Class benefits have a combined $500,000 cap, and payments can be reduced proportionally if claims go over that limit.

The $500,000 figure is a cap on benefits. It should not be read as a promise that the entire amount is available for $50 checks or as a stated total settlement fund.

You can complete the claim online or download a paper form from the official settlement website. Mail a completed, signed paper form to the administrator, along with any records needed for a reimbursement claim.

To request a paper copy, call (833) 421-7367, email [email protected], or write to the administrator at PO Box 25226, Santa Ana, CA 92799-9958. Requesting a form by phone or email is separate from submitting the completed claim.

Both use November 11, 2026. Complete your online submission by that date. For a paper claim, the completed and signed form and any required records must be mailed with a postmark no later than that date.

The notice does not give a time-of-day cutoff for online claims.

There is no promised distribution date in the notice. The court must approve the settlement, and any appeals must finish before payments are distributed.

The approval hearing is scheduled for November 16, 2026. That is a court hearing date, not a payment date; check the official website for updates.

Leaving, or opting out, means you receive no settlement benefits but keep any right to pursue the covered claims separately. You can request exclusion only for yourself.

Your request must identify the case, give your full name, mailing address, phone number and email address, carry your signature, and clearly say you want to leave. The deadline is October 12, 2026.

Question 15 of the notice gives the exact mailing address and says requests must be submitted, postmarked or emailed by that date. Follow those instructions when sending the request.

If you stay in the settlement, you can object and still submit a claim. File a complete objection with the court clerk by October 12, 2026, and send copies to the administrator and both sides’ lawyers.

Question 16 of the notice lists the required information and addresses. It calls for your reasons and supporting material, contact and lawyer information, any plans to speak, prior-objection information, and your signature, among other details. Use the full notice checklist when preparing a filing.

No. The hearing is scheduled for November 16, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time in the Nassau County Supreme Court, third floor, 100 Supreme Court Drive, Mineola, NY 11501. You may attend at your own expense.

A timely objection can be considered without your attendance. If you want to speak, ask the court for permission and follow the notice’s objection instructions. Check the official website because the hearing schedule can change.
