Your Rights and Next Steps
If your personal information was compromised in the Chord Specialty Dental Partners data breach, you have important rights and options available to protect yourself.
First, Chord Specialty Dental Partners is offering free credit monitoring and identity protection services to affected individuals.
Second, you have the right to place a fraud alert or a credit freeze on your credit reports.
