Eligible U.S. residents who received a Krispy Kreme data breach notice may be able to file a settlement claim before Monday, June 22, 2026. The Krispy Kreme data breach settlement offers an estimated $75 alternate cash payment or up to $3,500 for documented fraud or identity-theft losses.
Who qualifies for the Krispy Kreme data breach settlement?
The proposed $1,616,760 settlement covers living individuals in the United States who were sent a notice saying their private information may have been affected in a Krispy Kreme data incident discovered on Friday, November 29, 2024. The official notice says the impacted information may have included names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and financial account access information.
Eligibility is tied to receiving a data incident notice. That means a person is not automatically eligible just because they bought products from Krispy Kreme.
Krispy Kreme settlement payments: $75 or up to $3,500
Class members may submit a claim for an estimated $75 cash payment without providing documentation. Those seeking higher reimbursement may claim up to $3,500 if they provide reasonable documentation showing fraud or identity-theft losses connected to the data incident. Examples may include phone records, emails, receipts or other supporting documents.
Payments may be increased or reduced on a pro rata basis depending on the total value of valid claims.
Credit monitoring and key deadlines
The settlement also provides one year of free credit monitoring. The official notice says class members do not need to submit a claim form to receive credit monitoring, but an activation code should be included in the postcard notice or available from the settlement administrator.
The deadline to submit a claim is Monday, June 22, 2026. The deadline to object to the settlement or opt out is Saturday, June 6, 2026. Krispy Kreme denies wrongdoing, and the court has not found that the company violated the law.
For affected consumers, the settlement matters because exposed Social Security numbers and financial account details can create long-term identity-theft risks. Eligible notice recipients should review the claim instructions carefully before the deadline.
