What Was the Lands’ End Data Breach About?
The settlement concerns a data security incident affecting a portion of Lands’ End’s computer systems in December 2024. According to the settlement notice, the exposed information may have included names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license and passport information, and, in limited cases, medical information. Lands’ End denies any wrongdoing and the court has not ruled on the merits; the parties agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation.
Who Qualifies?
Settlement Class Members are individuals identified in Lands’ End’s own records as affected by the December 2024 incident. If you received a notice by mail, you are very likely included. If you believe your information was affected but did not receive a notice, contact the settlement administrator through the official website to check your status.
How Much Can You Get?
Alternate Cash Payment
An estimated $60 payment requiring no documentation. As with most flat-tier payments, this figure is an estimate rather than a guarantee, since it can be adjusted based on the total number of valid claims filed. See our guide on settlements without proof of purchase for how this option generally works.
Documented Losses
Reimbursement of up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses connected to the breach, such as time spent resolving fraud or unreimbursed expenses. This tier requires receipts, statements or other records showing the loss.
Eligible class members can also generally expect credit monitoring or identity protection services as part of the settlement; check your specific notice or the official website for the exact duration offered.
How to File a Claim
There are two ways to file, both due by the same deadline:
- Online: the fastest method, at LandsEndDataSettlement.com, using the Login ID and PIN from your mailed notice
- By mail: download a printable claim form from the settlement website and mail it to the settlement administrator, including any supporting documentation if claiming documented losses
Online claims must be submitted by October 22, 2026. Mailed claims, including supporting documentation, must be postmarked no later than the same date.
Don’t Confuse the Two Deadlines
The opt-out and objection deadline is October 7, 2026, two weeks earlier than the claim deadline of October 22, 2026. If you want to exclude yourself from the settlement or object to its terms, you needed to act by the earlier date. Filing a claim is a separate action with the later deadline.
What Happens After You File?
The Final Approval Hearing is scheduled for November 6, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Claims still must be submitted by October 22, 2026 regardless of when the court rules on final approval. Payments will not be distributed until the settlement receives final approval and any appeal period is resolved. Our guide on how long it takes to get paid after a class action settlement explains this timeline in more detail.
Is This Settlement Legitimate?
Yes. It is a real settlement pending in the Circuit Court for Iowa County, Wisconsin, with an official website at LandsEndDataSettlement.com. Because the exposed data includes Social Security numbers and government ID information, be cautious of any message asking you to confirm sensitive details outside the official site. See our guides on class action settlement scams and how to tell if a settlement check is real if anything about a message you receive seems off.
