Welcome to the Settlement Website for the
RINA Accountants & Advisors Data Security Incident Settlement

If your personal identification information was part of a data security incident involving RINA Accountants & Advisors, you may be entitled to a cash payment.

The lawsuit alleges that that as the result of a cyberattack by an unauthorized third party to certain computer systems of RINA Accountants & Advisors (“RINA”), personally identifiable information (“PII”) stored by RINA, including Social Security Numbers, may have been compromised on or about February 28, 2022 (the “Data Security Incident”). RINA maintains that it had meritorious defenses, and it was prepared to vigorously defend the lawsuit but encourages all persons who qualify as members of the Settlement Class to participate in the Settlement. The settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing or an indication that RINA has violated any laws.

If your information was potentially compromised in the Data Security Incident, you are a Settlement Class Member.

All Settlement Class Members shall have the option to sign-up for the Settlement Offering and may enroll in two years of free credit monitoring.

Any Settlement Class Member may submit a Claim for reimbursement for documented Economic Losses related to the Data Security Incident that have not been reimbursed by other third parties, up to an aggregated total of $10,000.00 per Settlement Class Member. Economic Losses shall be deemed fairly traceable to the Data Breach if (i) the alleged wrongdoing occurred on February 28, 2022 or thereafter, (ii) the Settlement Class Member executes a statement signed under penalty of perjury indicating that the Economic Losses claimed are fairly traceable to the Data Security Incident, (iii) the alleged wrongdoing involved misuse of the type of personal information inadvertently disclosed in the Data Security Incident (i.e., Social Security number), and (iv) the Settlement Administrator determines by a preponderance of evidence that it is fairly traceable to the Data Security Incident.

Any Settlement Class Member may submit a Claim for Non-Economic Losses fairly traceable to the Data Breach. Compensation for these losses will be fixed on a pro-rata basis based on what remains in the Settlement Fund after the costs of credit monitoring and Economic Losses are accounted for.

These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained in the Notice and FAQs page.

The Court still must decide whether to approve the Settlement. No benefits will be provided, or payments made until after the Court grants final approval of the Settlement and all appeals, if any, are resolved.
