I would sue to company that was responsible for my data, not the outsource company.  The company would have to sue (if
able) the outsource company for damages.  

I'm sure that a lawyer would be happy to take on a class action suit against a company that lost my data.

But where do you sue? If the outsourcer is in a country in which misuse
or theft of information is not illegal, then what? (Until recently, even
the US had no specific law against identity theft). I believe I've heard
about this being done, but just to verify from the lawyer-types, can you
specify in a contract with an off-shore company that US law will govern
the contract?
