WELCOME TO THE VOLKSWAGEN/AUDI DATA INCIDENT LITIGATION WEBSITE

If you are a former, current, or prospective Volkswagen or Audi customer who
received notice in June 2021 that your personal information may have been
compromised in a data security incident, you are eligible for a monetary award
from a class action settlement.

A court has authorized this website. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit arising from an alleged
data security incident involving the personal information (“PI”) and sensitive
personal information (“SPI”) of certain current, former, and prospective
customers of Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (“Volkswagen”) and Audi of
America, LLC (“Audi”). The class action is brought against Volkswagen, Audi, and
Sanctus LLC d/b/a Shift Digital (“Shift Digital”) (collectively, “Defendants”)
by named plaintiffs Ricardo Villalobos, John Hajny, Anthony Service and Jeremy
Adams, individually and on behalf of a settlement class of persons residing in
the United States to whom Volkswagen and/or Audi sent notice that their PI or
SPI may have been exposed as a result of the data security incident.

Defendants dispute that they have violated any laws, deny all of the plaintiffs’
allegations of wrongdoing, and disclaim all liability with respect to all
claims. However, to avoid the risk and expense of further litigation, the
parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit on the terms and conditions set forth
in a Settlement Agreement between the parties, which is available here. If the
Court gives final approval of the settlement, Defendants will pay $3.5 million
into a settlement fund, which will be used to provide monetary awards to
settlement class members as described in this website. Settlement administration
expenses, an award of attorneys’ fees and costs to class counsel, and service
awards to the named plaintiffs will also be paid from the settlement fund.

Your legal rights are affected even if you do nothing. Please read this website
and the notice carefully and completely.
