My information was leaked during a breach of the ParkMobile app.

As part of the class action lawsuit that was settled with the company for mishandling my information, I am awarded...

...one dollar.

To be paid out as a... 25 cent discount... over four uses.

Well la dee dah.

With the "penalty" being this low, it would make more sense for the company to "breach" its own data and sell it - they'd make more money in profit than the expense of settling a lawsuit...
