Capital One data breach settlement
Capital One settled a data breach claim for $190 million, with up to $25,000 per person. The claim window closed on September 30, 2022, so this one can no longer be claimed — but new settlements open all the time, and some are paying out right now. The free check tells you in seconds whether your email is in a breach that still pays.

Where to claim
The administrator’s site is CapitalOneSettlement.com. The window is closed, so it is there for the record, not to file.

Being in the breach is not the same as being in the class. Class membership usually turns on having received the company’s own notice letter, and only the settlement administrator can confirm it. We are not lawyers, we take no fee from any claim, and we never file on anyone’s behalf.
