What we know

This notice is intended to inform you of the incident and provide guidance on the steps you should take to protect your identity and medical privacy.

After the IMPERIAL BEACH COMMUNITY CLINIC incident: what to do and your options

What should I do after getting the IMPERIAL BEACH COMMUNITY CLINIC data breach notice?
Keep the letter and the envelope, and note the date it arrived. Freeze your credit with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, change any passwords the notice mentions, and sign up for any free credit monitoring the letter offers. Then check whether you may have a claim.
Did IMPERIAL BEACH COMMUNITY CLINIC offer free credit monitoring?

Can I sue IMPERIAL BEACH COMMUNITY CLINIC over the data breach?
It depends on what was exposed, the law in Illinois 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 IMPERIAL BEACH COMMUNITY CLINIC data breach lawyer or attorney?

How much could a IMPERIAL BEACH COMMUNITY CLINIC data breach settlement or claim be worth?
