Why we created this site
Clarity
when you need it most.
When you learn your data has been breached, it’s a specific kind of experience. Helplessness. Uncertainty. Questions you don’t know how to ask.
We built this site because we know that what helps most in that moment is clarity — simply presented, without legal jargon, focused entirely on what you can actually do right now. It is easy to feel powerless. You are not. There is a lot you can do, and we can help.
What we know
This moment
is important.
We have worked with people affected by data breaches long enough to understand what the experience is actually like. It is not abstract. It is a notification that arrives out of the blue and creates concern and worry.
The helplessness is real. The uncertainty is real. And so is the frustration of being pointed toward fine print when all you want is a plain answer.
That is exactly what this site is for. Clarity, simply presented, focused entirely on what you can do right now.
Our purpose

Your rights, in context
Your data has never
been more valuable.
Companies collect more personal information about you today than at any point in history. For some of them, that data is central to how they operate and how they make money. That comes with real responsibilities — and the law has continued to hold them to it. Your rights are intact, and we believe those responsibilities matter. Here’s how the legal framework protecting you has grown.
2003
The first breach notification laws
California becomes the first state to require companies to tell you when your personal data has been exposed. The principle is simple: if a company mishandled your data, you have a right to know. Other states follow.
2009
HIPAA breach notification becomes federal law
Health and medical data gets its own set of rules. The Department of Health and Human Services requires covered entities and their business associates to notify affected individuals — without unreasonable delay — when unsecured protected health information is compromised. Healthcare data breaches now carry specific federal obligations, on top of state law.
2012
Courts recognize that data has real value
Federal courts begin treating data exposure as a concrete harm — not just a theoretical risk. If a company failed to protect your information, you have standing to take action. Class actions on behalf of breach victims begin gaining real traction.
2018
Consumer privacy becomes a legal right
California passes the Consumer Privacy Act, the most comprehensive data rights law in U.S. history. It gives consumers explicit rights over how their data is collected, used, and shared. A wave of state legislation follows, expanding protections across the country.
2024
The scale of exposure reaches a breaking point
Change Healthcare, AT&T, Ticketmaster, and hundreds of other companies disclose breaches affecting hundreds of millions of Americans. The Change Healthcare breach alone — the largest healthcare data breach in history — affected nearly 193 million people.
Now
Your rights have never been stronger
The legal tools to hold companies accountable for failing to protect your data are well-established and actively enforced. If your information was exposed, you likely have rights — including the right to take legal action at no cost to you. That is what this site exists to help you understand and act on.
