Per the vender, NGP VAN, data could have been retained.

Per the vendor:
"We are confident at this point that no campaigns have access to or have retained any voter file data of any other clients; with one possible exception, one of the presidential campaigns."

"Our team removed access to the affected data, and determined that only one campaign took actions that could possibly have led to it retaining data to which it should not have had access."

Lets keep things honest. They are saying that best case senario, no one got any data that they shouldn't have. But the fact that a data breach occurs shows that this isn't a best case senario, and that realistically their is a chance that someone got ahold of data that they were not legally entitled to.
