If you were notified by mail of a Data Incident impacting Bosley, Inc. in 2020, you may be eligible for a payment from a class action settlement.


A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit about a data incident that occurred in August 2020, which potentially exposed the personal information of Bosley, Inc. (“Bosley”) customers and employees (the “Data Incident”). The lawsuit alleges that Bosley was responsible for the Data Incident because it did not take appropriate care to protect personal information it collected from hacking. Bosley denies the claims and denies any wrongdoing.


Who Is Included?

Bosley’s records show you are a likely member of the Settlement Class and/or the California Settlement Subclass. The Settlement Class includes all persons residing in the United States who were notified by mail in January or February 2021 of the Data Incident, and whose personally identifiable information (PII) was potentially compromised in the Data Incident. Members of the Settlement Class who were residing in the State of California at the time of the Data Incident are also included in the California Settlement Subclass.


What Can I Get?

The Settlement will reimburse people who submit claims for:

(1) Unreimbursed, documented out-of-pocket expenses and/or compensation for lost time, that resulted from the Data Incident, up to a maximum of $300 per person; and

(2) Unreimbursed, documented extraordinary expenses and lost time related to actual fraud that were caused by the Data Incident, up to a maximum of $5,000 per person.

(3) This Settlement also provides free access to Financial Shield Services ("Financial Shield") for a period of 2 years following enrollment without the need to submit a claim. Enrollment in Financial Shield must be completed within 90 days of the Settlement Effective Date.

Individual payments may be reduced if the total value of all valid claims exceeds $500,000.

Finally, as part of the Settlement, Bosley has agreed to implement and/or maintain certain data security measures.

If you are a Settlement Class Member and/or California Settlement Subclass Member and you want to receive any benefits from the Settlement, you must complete and submit a Claim Form along with any required supporting information. The deadline to submit a Claim Form is July 7, 2022.
