A Settlement has been reached with Oliver Street Dermatology Management LLC d/b/a U.S. Dermatology Partners (“OSDM” or “Defendant”) in a class action lawsuit related to a criminal third-party’s unauthorized access to Defendant’s network that occurred in June 2024 (the “Data Incident”). Certain files that contained Private Information may have been accessed. These files may have contained some combination of Settlement Class Members’ personal information such as names, dates of birth, medical record numbers, health insurance information, medical record information, and Social Security numbers.
The lawsuit is called Olson v. Oliver Street Dermatology Management LLC d/b/a U.S. Dermatology Partners, Case No. DC-25-12249. It is pending in the 44th District Court of Dallas County, Texas (the “Litigation”). Defendant denies that it did anything wrong and denies all allegations, claims and all wrongdoing and liability, and the Court has not decided who is right. The parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit (the “Settlement”) to avoid the costs and risks, disruptions, and uncertainties of continuing the Litigation.
You are a Settlement Class Member if you were sent notice of the Data Incident, including notice of this Settlement.
Your rights are affected whether you act or don’t act.
