Krispy Kreme Data Breach Class Action Settlement $75 No Proof $3500 Documented Losses Social Security Number Exposed 2026

Published: March 25, 2026

Claim Deadline: June 22, 2026

Payout: $75 no proof OR up to $3,500 documented losses

Proof Required: No (for $75 payment) / Yes (for up to $3,500)

What Is This Settlement About?

On November 29, 2024, Krispy Kreme discovered that hackers had gained unauthorized access to its systems and obtained the personal information of an unknown number of people. The exposed data includes some combination of names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and financial account access information. If you received a breach notification from Krispy Kreme, your data was likely compromised.

A class action lawsuit was filed, and Krispy Kreme agreed to pay $1,616,760 into a settlement fund. Krispy Kreme denied any wrongdoing or liability, and the court has not made any determination that Krispy Kreme violated the law. Both sides agreed to settle to avoid the cost and risk of further litigation.

Who Qualifies?

You qualify if you are a living individual residing in the United States who was sent a notice from Krispy Kreme indicating that your personal information may have been impacted in the data breach discovered on November 29, 2024.

If you received a postcard, letter, or email from Krispy Kreme about this breach, you are a class member. If you are not sure whether you were notified, you can check at KrispyKremeDataSettlement.com.

How Much Can You Get?

You have two options for cash payments. You can choose one or the other, not both.

Option A -- Documented Losses (up to $3,500): If you experienced fraud, identity theft, or other out-of-pocket losses as a result of the Krispy Kreme data breach, you can submit a claim with documentation (bank statements, receipts, phone records, correspondence, etc.) for reimbursement of up to $3,500 per person. Personal declarations alone do not count as documentation, but they can be included to support other evidence. You will not be reimbursed for expenses already covered by another source, including any credit monitoring offered by Krispy Kreme in the original breach notification.

Option B -- No-Proof Cash Payment ($75 estimated): If you do not have documented losses or prefer not to submit documentation, you can claim an estimated $75 cash payment with no proof required. This amount may increase or decrease depending on how many people file claims. If fewer people file, you could get more. If more people file, it could be reduced.

If you submit a claim for Option A but fail to provide adequate documentation, your claim will automatically be processed as Option B ($75 no-proof payment).

Free Credit Monitoring for Everyone

All settlement class members will receive one year of free credit monitoring regardless of whether they file a claim form. You do not need to submit a claim to get credit monitoring. Your activation code should have been included on the postcard notice you received. If you did not receive a postcard, contact the settlement administrator to get your code. The credit monitoring will activate once the settlement receives final court approval.

How Do I File a Claim?

Submit your claim form online at KrispyKremeDataSettlement.com or mail a paper claim form to the settlement administrator. Your claim must be submitted online or postmarked by June 22, 2026.

If you are claiming documented losses (Option A), include your supporting documentation with your claim form.

What Personal Information Was Exposed?

The breach exposed some combination of names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and financial account access information. Not every affected person had the same types of data exposed. The specific data involved in your case should be described in the breach notification you received from Krispy Kreme.

The exposure of Social Security numbers and financial account information is particularly serious because it creates a risk of identity theft, fraudulent account openings, and financial fraud that can persist for years after the initial breach.
