Plaintiffs are suing a dermatology practice, alleging that the company failed to properly protect patients' sensitive personal and medical information. The lawsuit claims that Pennsylvania Dermatology Partners did not implement adequate security measures to safeguard data entrusted to them by patients seeking dermatological care. As a result, patients' private health and personal information was allegedly exposed or made vulnerable to unauthorized access. The proposed class is made up of current and former patients of Pennsylvania Dermatology Partners whose personal and medical information was stored by the practice and potentially compromised due to the company's alleged failure to maintain reasonable data security standards. Plaintiffs seek damages and other relief on behalf of all affected individuals.
