A Settlement has been reached with Saratoga Harness Racing, Inc. (“Saratoga” or “Defendant”) in a class action lawsuit. This case is about the targeted cyberattack on Saratoga's computer systems that occurred in November 2024 (the “Data Incident”). Certain files that contained Private Information were accessed. These files may have contained personal information such as names, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license/state identification numbers.
The lawsuit is called Myers et al. v. Saratoga Harness Racing, Inc., Case No. EF202598. It is pending in the Supreme Court of Saratoga County, New York (the “Litigation”). Saratoga denies that it did anything wrong, and the Court has not decided who is right. The parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit (the “Settlement”) to avoid the costs and risks, disruptions, and uncertainties of continuing the Litigation.
If you received notice from the Settlement Administrator, then Saratoga's records indicate that you are a Settlement Class Member, and entitled to benefits under the Settlement. You may have received a previous notice directly from Saratoga.
Your rights are affected whether you act or don’t act.
