Published: January 14, 2026

Status: Open to Claims

Settlement Award: $46 Million Total

Claim Form Deadline: To Be Announced

What is the Kaiser Privacy Breach Class Action?

If you were a Kaiser Permanente patient, your personal data may have been shared without consent.

You may be part of a new $46,000,000 class action settlement involving Kaiser Permanente if you were affected by a massive data breach. The Kaiser data privacy breach class action lawsuit was filed and settled over allegations that certain patient data was shared with third parties without proper consent.

According to the lawsuit, Kaiser allegedly used tracking tools on its websites and patient portals that transmitted sensitive information such as appointment details, search activity, and communications to outside technology and advertising companies.

Kaiser denies any wrongdoing, and the Court has not ruled in favor of either side. The case is being resolved through a proposed settlement to avoid the cost and risk of continued litigation.

What is the Total Settlement Amount?

At this time, the proposed settlement does not clearly describe a single cash fund that will be divided equally among patients.

Instead, settlements in privacy cases like this often include a combination of:

• Possible cash payments for eligible class members
• Reimbursement for documented losses related to identity theft or misuse of personal data
• Changes to business practices and data handling policies

Final settlement details will be confirmed after Court approval.

How Do I Qualify For a Payout?

You may qualify if you were a Kaiser Permanente patient and used Kaiser websites, mobile apps, or online patient portals during the time period covered by the lawsuit.

This typically includes individuals whose personal or health related data may have been shared through online tracking technologies.

How Much Can I Get Paid?

The exact amount each person may receive has not yet been determined. Kaiser Permanente data privacy open class action payments, if approved, often depend on:

• The number of people who submit valid claims
• Whether you experienced documented financial losses
• The final terms approved by the Court

Who Is Included in the Settlement?

This settlement applies only to certain Kaiser Permanente members.

You may be included if you lived in California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Oregon, Virginia, Washington, or Washington, D.C. during the covered time period.

Which Kaiser Websites and Apps Are Covered?

The lawsuit involves logged in use of certain Kaiser websites and mobile apps.

This includes Kaiser patient portals and mobile apps such as the Kaiser Permanente App, My Doctor Online, My KP Meds, KP Health Ally, and related Kaiser platforms.

Do I Have to File a Claim to Get Paid?

Yes. Payments are not automatic. You must submit a claim form to receive any money from this settlement.

How Do I File a Claim?

Claim filing instructions will be provided if and when the settlement receives preliminary Court approval.

Most claims are submitted online using basic information such as your name, contact details, and confirmation that you were a Kaiser patient during the relevant time period.

What is the Claim Form Deadline?

A claim deadline has not yet been announced.

Once the settlement is approved, a specific deadline will be set by the Court.

What are the Important Dates?

Important dates such as the claim deadline, opt out deadline, and final approval hearing will be published after Court approval.

When is the class action settlement payment date?

There is no payment date at this time.

Settlement payments typically occur several months after final Court approval, and appeals can delay payment.

Is Proof Required to File a Claim?

Proof requirements have not yet been finalized.

In many privacy settlements, basic claims do not require documentation, while reimbursement claims for identity theft or financial losses may require proof.
