After the Ellis Early Learning incident: what to do and your options
- What should I do after getting the Ellis Early Learning data breach notice?

- Did Ellis Early Learning offer free credit monitoring?
- Check your letter from Ellis Early Learning. If free credit or identity monitoring is offered, the enrollment code and deadline are printed in the notice itself. Enrolling does not give up your right to bring a claim.
- Can I sue Ellis Early Learning over the data breach?
- It depends on what was exposed, the law in New Hampshire and your own state, and whether you've been harmed. Most people take part through a class action rather than suing alone. Keep your notification letter — it's the proof that connects you to the breach.
- Do I need a Ellis Early Learning data breach lawyer or attorney?
