Am I affected by the CHP 11-99 Foundation data breach?

If your information was part of this incident, CHP 11-99 Foundation is required to notify you individually — usually by a letter in the mail, and sometimes by email. That notice is the authoritative word on whether you're affected and exactly what data of yours was involved. If you're unsure, you can contact CHP 11-99 Foundation directly or review the official California AG record linked above. Class Action Buddy does not send these notices and cannot look up whether your specific data was affected.

What to do after a data breach

These are the standard steps the U.S. Federal Trade Commission recommends after your information is exposed in a breach (see IdentityTheft.gov):

  1. Read the notification letter to see exactly what information was exposed, and confirm the notice is genuine before clicking any links in it.
  2. Accept any free credit monitoring or identity-theft protection the company offers — it's paid for by them and costs you nothing.
  3. Place a free fraud alert or credit freeze with the three credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). A freeze is the strongest protection and is free to add and lift.
  4. Check your credit reports for accounts you don't recognize at AnnualCreditReport.com (free weekly).
  5. Watch for phishing. Scammers often reference a real breach to trick you — never give personal details to anyone who contacts you about it out of the blue.
  6. Change passwords (and turn on two-factor authentication) if account login details may have been exposed.

Data breach vs. class action settlement — what's the difference?

A data breach notice like this one means a company disclosed a security incident. It is not a settlement, and it does not by itself mean you're owed money.

A class action settlement is a separate legal process that sometimes follows a breach — often months or a year or more later, and only if a lawsuit is filed and resolved. When that happens, affected people can usually file a claim for cash, free credit monitoring, or reimbursement.
