Data breach victims may be entitled to several forms of compensation. The specific amounts depend on your state, the type of data exposed, and the company's conduct.

Reimbursement for any fraud charges, unauthorized transactions, or expenses you incurred as a direct result of the breach.
Compensation for hours spent monitoring accounts, disputing fraud, freezing credit, and dealing with the aftermath of the breach.
Reimbursement for the cost of credit monitoring services, identity theft protection, and related identity restoration expenses.
Illinois's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) provide some of the strongest data protection rights in the country. BIPA allows statutory damages of $1,000–$5,000 per violation, and class actions have resulted in substantial settlements.
