A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Acadia Health d/b/a Just Kids Dental, (“JKD” or “Defendant”) concerning an alleged data security incident affecting Defendant that was discovered by Defendant in or around August 2023 (the “Data Incident”).
The lawsuit is called Jolla et al. v. Acadia Health, LLC d/b/a Just Kids Dental, Case No. 3:23-cv-01370-SDD-EWD (the “Action”). The lawsuit alleges that the Data Incident potentially exposed certain Private Information of Plaintiffs and the members of the putative class.

It excludes: (1) the Judge presiding over this Action, and members of their direct families; (2) Defendant, and its current or former officers and directors; and (3) Settlement Class Members who submit a valid Request for Exclusion prior to the Opt-Out Deadline.
