Understanding your Fanning/Howey Associates Inc data breach notification letter

If a Fanning/Howey Associates Inc letter arrived in your mailbox, here is what it means, why you received it, and the free steps you can take right now.

Why you received this letter

Fanning/Howey Associates Inc appears to be an architecture and engineering firm specializing in the design and planning of educational and institutional facilities. As a professional services firm, they typically collect and store sensitive personal data including employee records, contractor information, and project-related documentation that may contain personally identifiable information. This data breach was officially reported to the Indiana Attorney General in 2025, and individuals whose information was impacted have been notified via a formal data breach notification letter. If you have received such a letter, it indicates that your personal information may have been compromised during this incident, and you should carefully review the provided documentation to understand the specific risks to your data and the steps recommended for protection.

What to do after the letter

  1. Confirm the notice is genuine

    A legitimate Fanning/Howey Associates Inc notice references the specific incident reported to the Indiana Attorney General and describes which categories of your information were involved. Compare the letter against the public filing before acting on any links or phone numbers it contains.

  2. Keep the letter — it is your proof of connection

    The notification letter is the document that ties your personal information to this incident. Keep the original and photograph it. If you later request a case review, this letter is the strongest evidence that you were among the affected individuals.

  3. Protect your accounts and credit

    Depending on what was exposed, consider a free credit freeze with all three bureaus, new passwords for reused credentials, and monitoring of financial statements. These steps are free and do not require you to wait for anyone's permission.

  4. Find out whether you have a claim

    Whether the Fanning/Howey Associates Inc breach gives you a legal claim depends on the facts. A free, no-obligation case review will tell you where you stand — there is no cost and no commitment to find out.
