This is what the FAQ has listed, FWIW:

The arbitration clause and class action wavier included in the TrustedID Premier Terms of Use applies to the free 
credit file monitoring and identity theft protection products, and not the cybersecurity incident.

You can't participate in a class action, but you can still sue.  At least, that's what I understood...

Best,
Andrew

Hi Dan:
Thanks for reminding and sending. One of the questions I am
wondering is if we are putting our data "back in danger again" by
providing this information? :)

Roy

Not *directly* a higher-ed issue, but it's big enough that the
fallout is going to be on *everybody*s radar.

"Equifax, one of the three major consumer credit reporting
agencies, said on Thursday that hackers had gained access to
company data that potentially compromised sensitive information for
143 million American consumers, including Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers.

The attack on the company represents one of the largest risks to
personally sensitive information in recent years, and is the third
major cybersecurity threat for the agency since 2015."

Be prepared for all sorts of identity theft attacks and very
customized phishes.....
