The Breach — What We Know

Clarity Group (“Clarity”) was responsible for safeguarding the personal data of its customers and employees. According to a MA state filing, Clarity Group (“Clarity”) experienced a data security incident affecting an undisclosed number of individuals, exposing protected health information and medical records. Legal proceedings relating to this breach are ongoing.

Clarity Group (“Clarity”) was required under the Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00) to implement reasonable security measures to protect the personal information it collected. When those measures fail and personal data is exposed to unauthorized parties, the law provides remedies for affected individuals — regardless of whether those individuals have yet experienced fraud or identity theft as a direct result.

Clarity Group appears to be a healthcare organization that provides medical services and patient care management. As part of its normal operations, the company collects and stores sensitive personal and medical information, including patient identities, clinical data, and health insurance details. In 2025, Clarity Group experienced a cybersecurity incident and officially reported a data breach to the Massachusetts Attorney General. If you received a data breach notification letter from Clarity Group, it means your personal information may have been involved in this incident. The letter provides further details regarding the event and outlines steps you can take to protect your personal data.

Risk Analysis — Exposed Data

Based on the data types reported in this filing, affected individuals face the following specific risks:

Identity Theftcritical

Your SSN is the master key to your identity. Once exposed, criminals can open new lines of credit, take out loans, or file taxes in your name.

Identity Verification Bypassmedium

Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.

Physical Security Riskmedium

Home address exposure can enable mail theft, package fraud, and targeted phishing attacks that reference your known location.

§ IV

Do You Qualify for Compensation?

Under the Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00), you may have a legal claim against Clarity Group (“Clarity”) if any of the following apply:

  • You received a written data breach notification letter from Clarity Group (“Clarity”)
  • You are or were a customer, patient, or employee of Clarity Group (“Clarity”)
  • Your information was held by Clarity Group (“Clarity”) in MA
  • Your protected health information was stored in the compromised system

§ V

Your Legal Rights — Compensation Available

01
Lost Time & Remediation Costs

The hours spent responding to a data breach — canceling accounts, contacting credit bureaus, updating passwords, and investigating fraud — represent compensable economic harm in data breach litigation.

02
Identity Theft Protection Costs

Once your SSN is exposed, protection becomes an ongoing expense. Plaintiffs in data breach settlements have recovered costs for credit freezes, identity protection subscriptions, and time spent dealing with fraudulent accounts — sometimes covering multiple years of exposure.

03
HIPAA Statutory Damages

HIPAA violations carry civil penalties between $100 and $50,000 per violation. Where a healthcare organization's negligence led to the exposure of protected health information, class members may recover statutory damages in addition to actual losses.

04
Emotional Distress

Data breach victims regularly report anxiety, loss of sleep, and ongoing fear of identity theft. These non-economic harms are cognizable injuries in data breach litigation, particularly in cases involving SSN or medical record exposure.

§ VI

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need proof that my data was misused to file a claim against Clarity Group (“Clarity”)?

No. Under Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00) and federal law, the unauthorized exposure of your personal data — regardless of whether it has been actively misused — can be sufficient grounds for a claim. The breach itself is the injury.

How much does filing a claim cost?

Nothing. The Law Office of David S. Harris handles data breach cases on contingency — you pay zero upfront and owe nothing unless compensation is recovered.

My Social Security Number was exposed. What should I do right now?

Immediately place a free credit freeze at all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name. Then file a complaint with the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov and contact our office — SSN exposure is one of the most serious breach types.

Does HIPAA give me additional rights in the Clarity Group (“Clarity”) breach?

If Clarity Group (“Clarity”) is a covered healthcare entity or business associate under HIPAA, affected patients have additional rights — including the right to an HHS complaint. These HIPAA violations also strengthen civil damages claims. Consult an attorney to understand your full remedies.

Is it too late to file a claim?

Statutes of limitations for data breach claims vary by state but typically run 2–4 years. Depending on when you learned of the breach, you may still have time. Contact our office for a free eligibility review — there is no cost to find out.

What if Clarity Group (“Clarity”) offered me free credit monitoring after the breach?

Accepting free credit monitoring from Clarity Group (“Clarity”) does not waive your right to pursue legal action unless you signed a specific release waiving claims. In most cases, victims who accepted monitoring can still file.

Do I need to have received a notice letter to be eligible?

Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by Clarity Group (“Clarity”) during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
