Am I Eligible for the Circle K data breach Settlement?
Updated June 2026 · Deadline: September 3, 2026
You're eligible if Anyone who received a Circle K (Gas Express) data breach notification letter between May 20, 2024 and the claim deadline. You qualify if you received a Gas Express / Circle K data breach notification letter notifying you that your personal information may have been exposed in the incident. The notification window runs from May 20, 2024 through September 3, 2026. If you didn't receive a letter, you almost certainly don't qualify — the class is strictly the people the administrator already identified as affected.
What's covered
- The settlement covers individuals whose personal information was exposed in the Gas Express d/b/a Circle K data incident
- Cash payment of $50 (Cash Payment B, no documentation required beyond your notification letter)
- Cash Payment A (for documented out-of-pocket losses tied to the breach) is also available with proof — most people skip this and take the flat $50
- 2 years of free credit monitoring with $1 million in identity-theft insurance
Edge cases people often ask about
Lost the notification letter? You can usually request a copy from the administrator with your address — the breach list is keyed by address, not the letter itself. Moved since the letter arrived? Use your address as of the breach notification date when filing — the administrator matches against that list. Multiple letters at the same address (e.g., spouse + you)? Each person who received a letter is an individual class member and can file separately. Never had a Circle K loyalty account but got a letter? You're still in — the breach affected anyone in the exposed dataset, not just loyalty members.
No-proof rules
The $50 cash payment requires no documentation beyond the fact that you received a notification letter — you attest under penalty of perjury that you received it. No need to upload the letter or prove out-of-pocket losses. Credit monitoring enrollment is automatic once your claim is validated.
