If you received a Notice of Data Incident from GATE Petroleum Company (“GATE”) on or around November 9, 2022, you may be eligible for free credit monitoring services and/or a class action settlement payment.

• A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit about a data incident wherein an unauthorized actor may have potentially accessed certain personally identifiable information (“PII”) of GATE’s current and former employees and their dependents (the “Data Incident”).


• GATE, among other things, operates gas stations and convenience stores in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The circumstances giving rise to this case occurred on or around September 20, 2022 to September 22, 2022, when an unauthorized actor potentially accessed GATE’s systems and the files that may have been accessed included PII related to some of GATE’s current and former employees and their dependents, including names and Social Security numbers. Subsequently, a lawsuit was filed against GATE, alleging that it did not take appropriate care to protect the current and former employees from the Data Incident.


• GATE denies all of the Plaintiffs’ claims in the lawsuit and maintains it did not do anything wrong but has agreed to settle the case to avoid the expense and burdens of litigation.


• The Settlement Class includes all individuals GATE notified that their personal information may have potentially accessed by an unauthorized actor as a result of the Data Incident.


• The Settlement provides two (2) years of free credit monitoring services. You must submit a claim to receive this benefit.


• The Settlement also provides (i) up to $500 in reimbursement of unreimbursed costs and expenditures incurred in responding to notice of the Data Incident and compensation for lost time incurred in responding to notice of the Data Incident up to 3 hours at $25 per hour, and (ii) up to $4,000 in reimbursement of other unreimbursed costs and expenditures that are fairly traceable to the Data Incident. You must submit a claim to receive these benefits.

• These rights and options –and the deadlines to exercise them– are explained on this website.
• The Court in charge of this case still has to decide whether to grant final approval of the Settlement. Payments will only be made after the Court grants final approval of the Settlement and after any appeals are resolved.
