A proposed Settlement of a class action lawsuit arising out of a Data Security Incident has been reached with Connexin Software, Inc. d/b/a Office Practicum (“Connexin”). On or about August 26, 2022, Connexin discovered a third-party threat actor was able to access files stored on one of Connexin’s servers. As a result, Personal Information of individuals who are or were patients of pediatric practices, employees, or otherwise affiliated with Connexin may have been accessed (the “Data Security Incident”). Impacted Personal Information may have included names, Social Security numbers, clinical information, human resource information, compensation data, and other medical or personal health information. Plaintiffs filed a lawsuit alleging that Connexin’s data security was negligent and otherwise violated the law, resulting in the Data Security Incident. Connexin disputes those allegations. Plaintiffs and Connexin have reached an agreement to settle those claims. If you were notified by Connexin that your Personal Information may have been compromised because of the Connexin Data Security Incident, you are included in this Settlement as a member of the Settlement Class.
Under the Settlement, Connexin has agreed to establish a $4,000,000.00 Settlement Fund to (1) pay for three (3) years of expanded identity theft and fraud monitoring and $1 million in insurance (“Expanded Identity Theft and Fraud Monitoring Services” or “EITFMS”); or (2) provide reimbursement of up to $7,500.00 per Class Member for Class Members who incurred certain Out-of-Pocket Losses (“Reimbursement for Out-of-Pocket Losses”); or (3) provide pro rata Cash Fund Payment to Class Members (“Alternative Cash Payment”). The Settlement Fund will also be used to pay for the costs of the settlement administration, Court-approved Service Awards for named Plaintiffs, and the Fee Award and Costs. In addition, Connexin has agreed to undertake certain security commitments and business changes intended to strengthen Connexin’s data and information security over a period of four (4) years.
The Court in charge of this case still has to decide whether to approve the Settlement. No Settlement Benefits or payments will be provided unless the Court approves the Settlement and it becomes final.
