If your Personal Information was accessed as a result of the Data Breach involving Rite Aid, you may be entitled to benefits from a Settlement.
- A proposed $6.8 million Settlement arising out of a Data Breach has been reached with Rite Aid Corporation (“Rite Aid”). On or about June 6, 2024, Rite Aid learned that an unauthorized third party gained access to Class Members’ Personal Information (the “Data Breach”). Personal Information includes names, addresses, dates of birth, and driver’s license numbers or other form of government-issued ID.
- The Settlement Class includes all residents of the United States whose Personal Information was compromised or potentially compromised in the Rite Aid Data Breach, including all persons who received notice of the Data Breach. Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (1) the Judge(s) presiding over the Action and members of their immediate families and their staff; (2) Rite Aid, its subsidiaries, parent companies, successors, predecessors, and any entity in which Rite Aid or its parents, have a controlling interest, and its current or former officers and directors; (3) natural persons who properly execute and submit a Request for Exclusion prior to the expiration of the Opt-Out Period; and (4) the successors or assigns of any such excluded natural person.
- If you are a Class Member, you may be able to receive one of the following Settlement Benefits:
- Documented Loss Payment: You may submit a timely and valid Claim Form and provide supporting Reasonable Documentation that you spent money or incurred losses related to the Data Breach for up to $10,000; OR
- Cash Fund Payment: Instead of selecting a Documented Loss Payment and providing supporting documentation, you may choose to receive a flat cash payment with no documentation. The amount of your Cash Fund Payment depends on the number of valid claims and how much of the Settlement Fund remains after payment of valid Documented Loss Payment claims.
- The Settlement Administrator will automatically treat uncured incomplete or defective Documented Loss Payment claims as claims for a Cash Fund Payment.
- Your legal rights will be affected whether you act or do not act. You should read the entire Notice carefully.
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS IN THIS SETTLEMENT: | |
| FILE A CLAIM FORM SUBMITTED OR POSTMARKED BY: JULY 7, 2025 | Submitting a timely and valid Claim Form is the only way that you can receive Settlement Benefits. If you submit a Claim Form, you will give up the right to sue Rite Aid and the Released Parties in a separate lawsuit about the legal claims this Settlement resolves. |
| EXCLUDE YOURSELF FROM THIS SETTLEMENT POSTMARKED BY: JUNE 6, 2025 | This is the only option that allows you to sue, continue to sue, or be part of another lawsuit against Rite Aid and the Released Parties, for the legal claims this Settlement resolves. If you exclude yourself, you will give up the right to receive any Settlement Benefits from this Settlement. |
| OBJECT TO OR COMMENT ON THE SETTLEMENT POSTMARKED BY: JUNE 6, 2025 | You may object to the Settlement by writing to the Court and informing it why you do not think the Settlement should be approved. You can also write to the Court to provide comments or reasons why you support the Settlement. You will still be bound by the Settlement if it is approved, and you will not be allowed to exclude yourself from the Settlement. If you object, you may also file a Claim Form to receive Settlement Benefits, but you will give up the right to sue Rite Aid and the Released Parties in a separate lawsuit about the legal claims this Settlement resolves. |
| GO TO THE “FINAL APPROVAL” HEARING DATE: JULY 17, 2025 | You may attend the Final Approval Hearing where the Court may hear arguments concerning approval of the Settlement. If you wish to speak at the Final Approval Hearing, you must make a request to do so in your written objection or comment. You are not required to attend the Final Approval Hearing. |
| DO NOTHING | If you do nothing, you will not receive a cash payment and you will give up your rights to sue Rite Aid and the Released Parties for the legal claims this Settlement resolves. |
- These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained in the Notice.
- The Court in charge of this lawsuit still has to decide whether to approve the Settlement. No Settlement Benefits or Settlement Payments will be provided unless the Court approves the Settlement and it becomes final.
