Revance Therapeutics, Inc. has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit for alleged unauthorized access to their systems and files containing sensitive personal information.

Can I Claim an Award?

You are a Settlement Class Member if you were mailed written notification by Revance Therapeutics, Inc. that your private information was potentially compromised due to the data incident discovered in April 2023. This includes information such as names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, bank account numbers, treatment information, and health insurance information.

What Awards Can Class Members Claim?

The proposed settlement will provide several benefits to Settlement Class Members:

• Documented out-of-pocket expense reimbursement up to $1,000 for expenses incurred as a result of the data incident, including unreimbursed bank fees, long-distance phone charges, cell phone charges (if charged by the minute), data charges (if charged based on the amount of data used), postage, gasoline for local travel, and fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or other identity theft insurance products purchased between March 15, 2023, and the claims deadline.
• Reimbursement for up to three hours of lost time spent dealing with the data incident at the rate of $25 per hour, provided at least one full hour was spent.
• Reimbursement for extraordinary losses up to $2,500 for documented monetary loss that is actual, documented, and unreimbursed, was more likely than not caused by the data incident, occurred between March 15, 2023, and the claims deadline, and is not already covered by other reimbursement categories.
• One year of credit monitoring with an additional $1 million in insurance for any eligible damages.

• Data charges (if charged based on the amount of data used)
• Postage
• Gasoline for local travel
• Fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or other identity theft insurance products purchased between March 15, 2023, and the claims deadline.

Documented Extraordinary Loss Reimbursement

For extraordinary losses, Class Members can claim up to $2,500. These losses must be:
