The court-approved website for the Christie’s class action lawsuit settlement can be found at ChristiesDataSettlement.com.

Class members covered by the settlement include all United States residents whose private information was compromised as a result of the Christie’s data breach and who were sent notification of the incident. According to the settlement website, the deal covers approximately 45,798 people.

The Christie’s settlement was preliminarily approved by the court in February 2025. If the settlement is granted final approval at a hearing on July 22 of this year, each class member who filed a timely, valid claim form can receive a pro-rated cash payment. Christie’s settlement payouts are estimated to be $100 per person, although this amount may increase or decrease depending on how many valid claims are submitted, the settlement site says.

Eligible individuals can also receive up to $10,000 for documented losses traceable to the Christie’s data breach and incurred between May 8, 2024 and June 19, 2025.

In addition, Christie’s settlement class members can submit a claim for two years of credit monitoring and identity restoration services.

Class members who lived in California between May 8, 2024 and June 19, 2025 can file a claim form for an additional payment of up to $100. This extra payment may decrease on a pro-rata basis and will account for potential statutory claims under the California Consumer Privacy Act, court documents share.

Settlement benefits and cash payments will be sent to claimants only after the settlement receives final approval from the court and any appeals are resolved.

One of the initial class action lawsuits against Christie’s claimed that an unauthorized party was able to hack into the defendant’s computer network and steal customer data due to cybersecurity failures. Information compromised in the Christie’s May 2024 data breach included names, dates of birth, addresses, nationalities, passport numbers and more, the settlement website says.

As part of the settlement, Christie’s has also agreed to implement data security enhancements, including defensive tools and increased monitoring.
