A Class Action Settlement has been proposed in litigation against Citrix relating to a data breach that Citrix disclosed on or about March 8, 2019 (“Data Breach”). Under the terms of the settlement, Citrix has agreed to establish a fund of $2,275,000.00 that will be used to pay for the following forms of relief:
- Reimbursement for Out-of-Pocket Losses: The Settlement Fund will be used to reimburse Settlement Class Members for out-of-pocket losses fairly traceable to the Data Breach, up to $15,000.00 per individual (“Out-of-Pocket Losses”).
- Reimbursement for Attested Time: The Settlement Fund will be used to reimburse Settlement Class Members for time spent remedying issues related to the Data Breach for up to five (5) hours at $25.00 per hour (“Attested Time”).
- Identity Restoration Services: Regardless of whether you submit a claim under the Settlement, all Settlement Class Members will be eligible to access identity restoration services offered through Experian, including professional fraud resolution assistance to help with identity recovery and restoration in case you experience identity theft or fraud in the future, for a period of five (5) years (“Identity Restoration Services”).
- Minor Monitoring Services: Regardless of whether you submit a claim under the Settlement, a parent or legal guardian of a Settlement Class Member who is a minor at the time the settlement is final may enroll the minor in five (5) years of Experian’s Minor Plus Monitoring Services. These services include monthly monitoring of Experian information for the minor; internet surveillance; fraud resolution services, and $1,000,000 in identity theft insurance for material damages caused by the misuse of the minor’s credit file.
- Three-Bureau Credit Monitoring Services: All Settlement Class Members are eligible to enroll in five (5) years of Experian’s credit monitoring services at no cost, regardless of whether you submit a claim for Out-of-Pocket Losses or Attested Time. These services retail for nearly $1,200 per individual and include daily credit monitoring of your credit file at Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion, a $1 million identity theft insurance policy, and additional features discussed below (“Credit Monitoring Services”); or
- Alternative Cash Payments: In lieu of Credit Monitoring Services, Settlement Class Members may elect to receive an Alternative Cash Payment in an amount equal to a pro rata distribution of the Net Settlement Fund (cash remaining after funds are allocated for Out-of-Pocket Losses, Attested Time, Credit Monitoring Services, Identity Restoration, Minor Monitoring Services, court awarded Attorneys’ Fees, Litigation Costs, and the costs of Settlement Notice and Administration);
- Citrix Business Practice Commitments: In addition to the Settlement Fund, Citrix has agreed to implement and maintain certain business practice commitments relating to its information security program for three years following the Effective Date of the Settlement (“Business Practice Commitments”).
The Court still must decide whether to approve the settlement. No payments will be made until after the Court grants final approval of the settlement and all appeals, if any, are resolved. Your legal rights are affected whether you respond or not. Read this website carefully.
