The Datamaxx Applied Technologies class action settlement received preliminary court approval on December 22, 2025, and covers all individuals in the United States whose private information was accessed or acquired by an unauthorized third party as a result of the December 2023 data breach. Per court documents, the private information of approximately 61,985 individuals may have been exposed during the data breach.

The court-approved website for the Datamaxx data breach settlement can be found at DatamaxxSettlement.com.

According to the website, Datamaxx settlement class members who submit a timely, valid claim form can choose one of two cash payments.

The first, referred to in settlement documents as “Cash Payment A,” provides a cash payment of up to $2,500 in reimbursement for documented out-of-pocket losses originating from the data breach, including those related to fraud, identity theft, credit reporting fees, and cost to replace IDs. The settlement agreement notes that claims for this reimbursement option must be accompanied by supporting documentation prepared by a third party, such as invoices or receipts.

The second option, referred to as “Cash Payment B” in court documents, is an alternative one-time cash payment of approximately $50. According to the settlement agreement, alternative cash payments will be pro-rated based on the number of valid claims received, and no proof is needed to receive the alternative cash payout.

Class members may choose to receive their cash payout as  an electronic payment or a paper check, the agreement relays, and all checks must be cashed within 120 days of issuance before expiration.  

In addition to any monetary benefits, the settlement site reports that all Datamaxx class members are eligible to enroll in three free years of one-bureau credit monitoring, which includes services like dark web scanning, comprehensive public records monitoring, and identity theft insurance. The settlement administrator will email eligible class members activation codes for a credit monitoring service within 60 days of final approval, the agreement says.

Alternatively, class members can download a PDF claim form from the settlement website to print, complete, and return by mail to the settlement administrator.

All Datamaxx Applied Technologies settlement claim forms must be submitted online or postmarked by April 6, 2026.

The court will determine whether to grant final approval to the Datamaxx settlement at a hearing on April 20, 2026. Compensation will begin to be distributed only after final approval has been granted and any appeals have been resolved.

The Datamaxx Applied Technologies class action lawsuit alleged that the company did not implement proper cybersecurity measures to safeguard the private information stored on its networks, which led to a data breach approximately between December 1, 2023 and December 17, 2023. Per court documents, the information potentially compromised during the data breach included names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and medical information.
