Frequently Asked Questions

You received this notice because you have been identified as a person whose Private Information was potentially accessible as a result of the Data Security Incident, and you may have previously received a notification letter about the Data Security Incident. A Court authorized this notice because you have a right to know about your rights under the proposed class action Settlement before the Court decides whether to grant final approval of the Settlement. If the Court approves the Settlement, the Settlement Administrator appointed by the Court will provide the benefits and make the payments that the Settlement allows, and any and all legal claims against Defendants and other Released Persons will be released and dismissed. This notice explains the Lawsuit, the Settlement, your rights, what benefits are available, who is eligible for them, and how to get them. The Lawsuit is Newson, et al. v. Landmark Admin, LLC, et al., pending in the District Court for Dallas County, Texas. The people who filed the Lawsuit are called the Plaintiffs and the entities they sued are called the Defendants.

The Lawsuit alleges that Defendants were responsible for failing to prevent the Data Security Incident, and asserts claims such as negligence, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment, breach of third-party beneficiary contract, breach of confidence, and intrusion upon seclusion/invasion of privacy. Defendants deny all of the claims and allegations of wrongdoing.

In a class action, one or more people called Class Representatives sue on behalf of people who they allege have similar claims. Together, all these people are called a Class or Class members. One Court and one judge resolves the issues for all Class members, except for those who exclude themselves from the Class.

The Court did not decide in favor of Plaintiffs or Defendants. Instead, both sides agreed to a Settlement. That way, they avoid the costs and risks of a trial, and Settlement Class Members can get benefits or compensation. The Plaintiffs and Settlement Class Counsel think the Settlement is in the best interest of the Settlement Class.

The Settlement Class is defined as: all persons in the United States (including all territories and U.S. military installations worldwide) whose Private Information was potentially implicated, accessed, compromised, or impacted as a result of the Data Security Incident, including all persons who were mailed notification letters concerning the Data Security Incident.

Yes. Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (a) Defendants’ officers and directors; and (b) any entity in which Defendants have a controlling interest. Also excluded from the Settlement Class are members of the judiciary to whom this case is assigned, their families and members of their staff.

If you are not sure whether you are included in the Settlement Class, you can ask for free help by calling the Settlement Administrator at 1-855-592-5777, sending an email to info@LandmarkDataSettlement.com or you can visit www.LandmarkDataSettlement.com for more information.

Under the Settlement, the entire amount that Landmark will be obligated to pay, including all settlement benefits to be paid for valid claims for monetary benefits, the costs of notice and settlement administration, the amount of Plaintiffs’ Service Awards payment and the amount of Plaintiffs’ Counsel’s attorneys’ fees and expenses, is subject to an overall cap of $6,000,000.00. Business Practice Commitments. Landmark agrees to continue to provide security for Private Information. Landmark agrees to pay for such remedial costs separate and apart from other settlement benefits. Landmark is willing to provide, at the request of Settlement Class Counsel, a confidential declaration describing information security improvements it has undertaken since the Data Security Incident and estimating the cost of these improvements.

Settlement Class Members who submit a valid and timely Claim Form may choose one of the applicable claim categories below.

Claim A: Documented Economic Losses. Settlement Class Members may be eligible for compensation for documented losses, up to a total of $2,500.00 per claimant, upon submission of a valid Claim Form and supporting documentation provided that: (i) the loss is an actual, documented, and unreimbursed monetary loss stemming from fraud or identity theft or as otherwise related to the Data Security Incident; (ii) the loss was more likely than not caused by the Data Security Incident; and (iii) the loss was incurred after the timeframe of the Data Security Incident.

Claim B: Pro Rata Cash Payment. In lieu of Claim A, Settlement Class Members may elect to receive a $30 cash payment, subject to a pro rata adjustment downward in the event that the $6,000,000.00 aggregate cap is exceeded.

If you are a Settlement Class Member and you do not exclude yourself from the Settlement, you will give up your right to sue, continue to sue, or be part of any other lawsuit against Defendants and other Released Persons concerning the claims released by this Settlement. The Settlement Agreement describes the legal claims that you give up if you remain in the Settlement Class. The entire Settlement Agreement can be viewed at www.LandmarkDataSettlement.com.

To make a claim for monetary compensation, you must complete and submit a valid Claim Form by December 26, 2025. Claim Forms may be submitted online by visiting the Settlement Website at www.LandmarkDataSettlement.com, or mailed to the Settlement Administrator postmarked by December 26, 2025 to:

The Settlement Administrator will review and evaluate each Claim Form, including any required documentation submitted, for timeliness, completeness, and validity.

The Court will hold a Final Approval Hearing on [date, time] to decide whether to approve the Settlement.

Yes. The law firms of Milberg Coleman Bryson Phillips Grossman, PLLC, Siri & Glimstad LLP, and Murphy Law Firm represent the Settlement Class. These lawyers are called Settlement Class Counsel. You will not be charged for their services.

If you want your own lawyer, you may hire one, but you will be responsible for any payment for that lawyer’s services. For example, you can ask your own lawyer to appear in court for you if you want someone other than Settlement Class Counsel to speak for you. You may also appear for yourself without a lawyer.

The attorneys representing the Class have not yet received any payment for their legal services or any reimbursement of the expenses they have incurred. Settlement Class Counsel will seek a combined award of attorneys’ fees and expenses not to exceed $2,000,000.00, and Service Awards to be paid to each Plaintiff in an amount not to exceed $1,500.00 each to recognize Plaintiffs for their efforts in the litigation and commitment on behalf of the Settlement Class. The Court will determine whether to approve the amount of fees and expenses requested by Settlement Class Counsel and the proposed Service Awards to the Plaintiffs.

The Plaintiffs are Raymond Newson, Britton Bryant, Donald Tanner, Edna Whitten, Folayan Payne, Drenetha Goff, Kara Montague, Karina Barratt, Lynda Roberts, Randy Jackson, Rozalynn Fisher, Shalene Willis and Sherika Dodson.

If you are a Settlement Class Member and you do not want to be bound by the Settlement Agreement, and you want to keep your right, if any, to sue Defendants or other Released Persons on your own about the legal issues in this Lawsuit, then you must take steps to get out of the Settlement. This is called excluding yourself from—or “opting out” of—the Settlement Class.

3) Clear intent to be excluded from the Settlement Class, to be excluded from the Settlement, not to participate in the Settlement, and/or to waive all rights to the benefits of the Settlement.

An Opt-Out Request or other request for exclusion that does not fully comply with the requirements above, or that is not timely submitted or postmarked, or that is sent to an address other than that listed above, will be invalid, and the person submitting such request will be treated as a Settlement Class Member and be bound by the Settlement Agreement, including the Release.

No. You must opt out of the Settlement to keep your right to sue Defendants or other Released Persons for any of the claims resolved by the Settlement.

If you opt out of the Settlement, you will not have any rights as a member of the Settlement Class. You will receive no benefits or compensation under the Settlement Agreement. You will not be bound by the Settlement, the Release, or by any further orders or judgments in this case. You will keep the right, if any, to sue on the claims alleged in the Lawsuit at your own expense.

Your Objection must:

1) State your full name, current address, telephone number, and email address (if any);

Objecting is telling the Court that you don’t like something about the Settlement. You can object to the Settlement only if you are a Settlement Class Member and do not opt out of the Settlement. Opting out of the Settlement is telling the Court that you don’t want to be part of the Settlement. If you opt out of the Settlement, you cannot object to it because it does not affect you.

The Court will hold a Final Approval Hearing (also called the Fairness Hearing) on [date, time]. At this hearing, the Court will consider whether the Settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate; Settlement Class Counsel’s application for attorneys’ fees and expenses; and whether to approve Service Awards to the Plaintiffs. If there are objections, the Court will consider them. The Court may choose to hear from people who have asked to speak at the hearing. At or after the hearing, the Court will decide whether to approve the Settlement. There is no deadline by which the Court must make its decision.

The Court may reschedule the Final Approval Hearing or change any of the deadlines described in this notice. The date of the Final Approval Hearing may change without further notice to Settlement Class Members. Be sure to check the Settlement Website, www.LandmarkDataSettlement.com for updates.

No. Settlement Class Counsel will answer any questions the Court may have. You may attend at your own expense if you wish. If you file an objection, you do not have to come to the hearing to talk about it. As long as you filed your written objection on time, the Court will consider it. You may also pay your own lawyer to attend, but it is not necessary.

You may ask the Court for permission to speak at the Final Approval Hearing. To do so, you must follow the instructions provided in Question 19 above. You cannot speak at the hearing if you exclude yourself from the Settlement.

If you do nothing, you will not receive any compensation from this Settlement. If the Court approves the Settlement, you will be bound by the Settlement Agreement and the Release. This means you will not be able to start a lawsuit, continue with a lawsuit, or be part of any other lawsuit against Defendants or Released Persons about the issues involved in the Lawsuit, resolved by this Settlement, and released by the Settlement Agreement.
