The settlement benefits anyone who resides in the United States and was sent notice by Volkswagen and/or Audi that their information may have been exposed as a result of the data security incident.
Volkswagen and Audi agreed to a $3.5 million settlement to resolve claims their customers’ information was stolen in a data breach spanning several years.
The settlement benefits consumers who received a notice from Volkwagen and/or Audi informing them that their personal information (PI) or sensitive personal information (SPI) may have been exposed in the 2019-to-2021 data breach.
The nationwide PI subclass is made up of class members whose PI was compromised in the data breach.
The nationwide SPI subclass is made up of class members whose SPI was compromised in the data breach.
The California SPI subclass is made up of class members whose SPI was compromised in the data breach while they were residing in California.
Consumers took legal action against Volkswagen and Audi after the companies announced a data breach in 2021 that affected over 3.3 million Audi purchasers. The breach reportedly exposed sales and marketing data from 2014 and 2019 during a period of time between August 2019 and May 2021.
Audi and its parent company, Volkswagen, are automotive manufacturers that sell luxury vehicles around the world.
Volkswagen and Audi haven’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $3.5 million class action settlement to resolve these allegations.
Under the terms of the Volkswagen and Audi data breach settlement, class members can receive a cash payment based on their subclass membership.
Actual cash payments may be higher or lower depending on the number of claims filed with the settlement.
Members of the California SPI subclass and nationwide SPI subclass can receive additional reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses related to the data breach. The settlement allows these class members to claim up to $5,000 for fraud, identity theft, credit expenses, communication charges and up to four hours of unpaid time off work at a rate of $50 per hour.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is March 13, 2023.
The final approval hearing for the Volkswagen and Audi data breach settlement is scheduled for May 18, 2023.
To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by April 12, 2023.
