Data Exposed
The data held by The Study New Haven, LLC — like that of most organizations that collect customer information — represents a comprehensive profile of affected individuals that, once assembled by bad actors, enables a range of fraudulent activities. The value of this data persists long after the breach is publicly disclosed, and vigilance is warranted for years following an exposure.
The Study New Haven, LLC appears to be a hospitality or accommodation business, likely operating a hotel or lodging facility associated with an educational community. In the course of managing guest reservations, check-ins, and loyalty programs, such companies typically collect and store guest names, mailing addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and payment card information. In 2025, the organization officially reported a security incident to the Massachusetts Attorney General regarding a compromise of this stored information. If you received a data breach notification letter, it means your personal information was involved in this incident, and the letter provides specific details regarding the event and steps you can take to protect your data.
Based on the data types reported, affected individuals face:
Phone numbers exposed in breaches are used for SIM swapping attacks — hijacking your number to bypass two-factor authentication on financial accounts.
Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.
What the Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00) and federal statutes entitle you to recover:
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.
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.
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.
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.
