Large-scale data breaches rarely affect uniform categories of data for all victims.

Because the full scope of exposure often takes months to assess, a free legal review is the most reliable way to understand your specific situation.

In the course of its business operations, TPSI typically collects and stores sensitive personally identifiable information, including employee and contractor records. Official records show that a data breach affecting this information was reported to the Massachusetts Attorney General in 2025. If you received a data breach notification letter from TPSI, it means your personal information may have been compromised during this security incident.

Your Legal Rights

Common categories of compensation in data breach class actions

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.

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.

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.

Applicable State Law

This breach was reported under the Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00), which mandates notification and establishes your right to seek damages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need proof that my data was misused to file a claim against Townsend’s Polymer Services & Information (“TPSI”)?

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.

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 Townsend’s Polymer Services & Information (“TPSI”) offered me free credit monitoring after the breach?

Accepting free credit monitoring from Townsend’s Polymer Services & Information (“TPSI”) 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 Townsend’s Polymer Services & Information (“TPSI”) during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.

How long does a data breach class action lawsuit take?

Most data breach class actions resolve within 18 to 36 months, though timelines vary by court and complexity. Your participation requires minimal effort — typically completing a claim form. Our office handles all litigation; you are notified when a settlement is reached.
