A Settlement has been reached with Classic Residence Management Limited Partnership, which does business as Vi (“Vi” or “Defendant”), in a class action lawsuit concerning the unauthorized access to Defendant’s computer systems that occurred on or about March 13, 2023 (the “Data Breach”), in which certain files that contained sensitive and/or personal information were accessed. The information included, depending on the individual, names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, payment card numbers, medical treatment information, and/or health information.
The lawsuit is captioned Givony et al. v. Classic Residence Management Limited Partnership d/b/a Vi, Case No. 2024CH05037, currently pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, County Department, Chancery Division (the “Action”).
Vi denies each and all of the claims and contentions alleged against it in the Action and denies all charges of wrongdoing or liability alleged (or which could be alleged) in the Action, but has agreed to a settlement to avoid the costs and risks associated with continuing the litigation.
You are included in the Settlement Class if you were impacted by the Data Breach. You may have already been notified of the Data Breach directly by Vi.
Your rights are affected whether you act or don’t act. Please read the Notice carefully and completely.
