Notice of Data Security Event
Notice of Data Security Event
June 26, 2026
Women’s Wellness of Southern Delaware (“WWSD”) is notifying individuals of a data security
incident that may have affected their personal information. While we are unaware of any attempted
or actual misuse of individuals’ personal information, we are providing individuals with
information about the event, our response, and steps they may take to protect against any misuse
of their personal information, should they feel it necessary to do so.
What Happened? On April 28, 2026, WWSD learned that a provider who rendered aesthetics
services under WWSD retained patient contact and other patient-related information after the
provider’s engagement with WWSD ended. The information affected relates to aesthetics service
patients and limited clinical service transactions. We believe some WWSD patients were contacted
using this information to offer similar aesthetic services with a new practice.
What Information Was Involved? For Aesthetics Services patients, the affected information may
have included your name, email, birthdate, gender, address, phone number, medications and
supplements, allergies, and the following information relating to aesthetic services you received:
photographs, intake records, aesthetics-related medical history, face maps, dates of services and
purchases, and description of services or items purchased.
For Clinical Services patients, the potentially affected information may have included your name,
phone number, dates of purchases, and descriptions of items or medication purchased.
For each person affected, only some of these data elements may apply and the specific information
impacted varies by individual. The former provider did not have access to the electronic medical
records systems used by WWSD for our clinical service line; accordingly, those systems were not
compromised during this incident.
What We Are Doing. We have taken steps to mitigate the risk of a similar incident occurring in
the future, including, without limitation, enhancing our comprehensive data privacy and security
measures. We are in communication with the former provider to attain assurances that your
information affected is appropriately returned or destroyed.
What You Can Do. Please review the enclosed “Steps You Can Take to Help Protect Your
Personal Information,” which provides information on what you can do to better safeguard against
possible misuse of your personal information.
For More Information. If you have questions or concerns that are not addressed in this notice,
please call our toll-free dedicated assistance line at 1-833-788-9712. This toll-free line is available
from 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, excluding U.S. Holidays.
We sincerely regret any inconvenience this event may cause. We remain committed to ensuring
the security of information in our care.
What Steps Can I Take to Help Protect My Personal Information?
Monitor your accounts: We encourage you to remain vigilant against incidents of identity theft
and fraud by reviewing your account statements and monitoring your free credit reports for
suspicious activity or errors. Please report any suspicious activity on your account to the
institution.
Check credit reports: Under United States law, you are entitled to one free credit report annually
from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus. To order your free credit report, visit
www.annualcreditreport.com or call, toll-free, 1-877-322-8228. You may also contact the three
major credit bureaus directly to request a free copy of your credit report at:

Place a security freeze: You may place a security freeze on your credit reports, free of charge. A
security freeze prohibits a credit reporting agency from releasing any information from a
consumer’s credit report without written authorization. However, please be aware that placing a
security freeze on your credit report may delay, interfere with, or prevent the timely approval of
any requests you make for new loans, credit, mortgages, employment, housing, or other services.
You will need to place a security freeze separately with each of the three major credit bureaus if
you wish to place a freeze on all your credit files. To request a security freeze, you will need to
supply your full name, date of birth, Social Security number, current address, all addresses for up
to five previous years, email address, a copy of your state identification card or driver’s license,
and a copy of a utility bill, bank or insurance statement, or other statement proving residence. To
find out more on how to place a security freeze, contact the credit reporting agencies at:

Place a fraud alert: At no charge, you can also have the three major credit bureaus place a “fraud
alert” on your file that alerts creditors to take additional steps to verify your identity prior to
granting credit in your name. Note, however, that because it tells creditors to follow certain
procedures to protect you, it may also delay your ability to obtain credit while the agency verifies
your identity. Usually, as soon as one credit bureau confirms your fraud alert, the others are
notified to place fraud alerts on your file; however, you should confirm the fraud alerts with each
bureau. Should you wish to place a fraud alert, or should you have any questions regarding your
credit report, please contact the credit reporting agencies.

Minor’s Personal Information Involved: You can request that each of the three national credit
reporting agencies perform a manual search for a minor’s Social Security number to determine if
there is an associated credit report. Copies of identifying information for the minor and
parent/guardian may be required, including birth or adoption certificate, Social Security card and
government issued identification card. If a credit report exists, you should request a copy of the
report and immediately report any fraudulent accounts to the credit reporting agency. You can also
report any misuse of a minor’s information to the FTC at https://www.identitytheft.gov/. For more
information about Child Identity Theft and instructions for requesting a manual Social Security
number search, visit the FTC website: https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0040-child-identity

three major credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, and request they flag the deceased
credit file. This will prevent the credit file information from being used to open credit. To make
this request, mail a copy of your family member’s death certificate to each company at the
