The U.S. Bankruptcy Court has authorized this Settlement Website. This is not a lawyer solicitation. 

 

 

A Settlement has been reached with 23andMe, Inc. (now known as “Chrome”) in a class action lawsuit over a cyberattack announced by 23andMe on October 6, 2023, which resulted in the theft of Personal Information in its databases concerning approximately 6.4 million United States residents.

 

You are a Settlement Class Member if you (a) were a 23andMe customer at any time between May 1, 2023 through October 1, 2023; (b) resided in the U.S. during this time; and (c) received notice from 23andMe that your personal information was compromised. 
 

You may be eligible for a cash payment and other benefits from a class action settlement:

  • Up to $10,000 for Extraordinary Claims;
  • Up to $165 for Health Information Claims;
  • An estimated $100 for Statutory Cash Claims; and
  • 5 years of Privacy & Medical Shield + Genetic Monitoring

 

Important things to know:

  • The class notice for In re: 23andMe, Inc. Customer Data Security Breach Litigation, Case No. 24-md-03098-EMC, was originally filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and is now pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri as In re: Chrome Holding Co., et al., Case No. 25-40976-357.*
  • If you take no action, you will still be bound by the Settlement. 
  • You must file a Claim to receive a cash payment and other benefits the Settlement provides. Health Information Claim payments will be sent to eligible Settlement Class Members once payment information is provided.
  • If you do not want to be bound by the Settlement, you may request exclusion (“Opt-Out”), unless you received an opportunity to opt out of the Settlement through the Bankruptcy Solicitation Materials.
  • Even if you object, you must file a Claim in order to receive a cash payment and other benefits. 
  • You should read this Settlement Website carefully and completely as it tells you what you can get from the Settlement with 23andMe (now known as “Chrome”). It also describes what your other options are.
