The deal, which was granted preliminary approval by the court in January 2025, covers nearly 68,000 people notified by Stanley Steemer that their personal information was or may have been compromised in the data breach, which the defendant says occurred between February 10 and March 6, 2023. The class action settlement includes two subclasses: affected Stanley Steemer customers and affected Stanley Steemer employees.

The court-approved website for the Stanley Steemer data breach settlement can be found at StanleySteemerSettlement.com.

According to the initial class action lawsuit, the incident stemmed from Stanley Steemer’s “utter failure” to protect its systems, which allegedly led to the exposure of individuals’ names, Social Security numbers, financial account details and driver’s license numbers.

Eligible class members must submit a valid claim form online or by mail by April 28, 2025 to receive Stanley Steemer settlement benefits.

Class members who file a timely, valid claim form can be reimbursed up to $10,000 for out-of-pocket losses “fairly traceable” to the Stanely Steemer data breach, the settlement site says. Such losses may include, but are not limited to, costs related to credit monitoring, identity theft protection services or freezing/unfreezing credit reports, or charges from identity theft, fraud or misuse of your personal information.

“If you plan to make a claim for Out-of-Pocket Losses, documentation must be provided to support your claim,” the site states. “Documents should be clear, readable copies, as anything you submit will not be returned to you.”

Covered individuals may also file a claim for a pro-rated cash payment. Payments will be capped at $100 for employee subclass members and $50 for customer subclass members.

Finally, Stanley Steemer has agreed to remedy the deficiencies in its data security measures that allegedly led to the data breach.

The court will determine whether to grant final approval to the terms of the Stanley Steemer class action settlement at a hearing on May 27, 2025. Settlement benefits will be issued to eligible class members only if the deal receives final approval and after any appeals are resolved.
