Why you received this letter
Regional Center of the East Bay is a non-profit organization that serves as a healthcare and social services provider, coordinating care and support for individuals with developmental disabilities.

This data breach was officially reported to the California Attorney General in 2025, confirming that unauthorized parties may have accessed sensitive records. If you received a data breach notification letter from the organization, it indicates that your personal or health-related information was potentially compromised. We recommend reviewing the letter carefully to understand the specific scope of the incident and the identity monitoring services being offered to you.
