Fund Administrator is committed to protecting your privacy and preventing the misuse or unauthorized disclosure of any personal information it collects and maintains in connection with the provision of its services. In the course of administering class action settlements and other types of legal proceedings on behalf of our clients and at the direction of the courts, Fund Administrator may collect personal information that either identifies an individual or may be used together with other information to identify an individual. This Privacy Notice sets forth the types of personal information Fund Administrator may gather, how it may collect and use that information, with whom it is shared, and what rights you have regarding such information.

PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED BY FUND ADMINISTRATOR

Fund Administrator may collect personal information directly from claimants through claim forms submitted to Fund Administrator via a postal service or via websites developed and maintained for clients in connection with its duties as a legal administrator (the “Websites”). Fund Administrator may also collect personal information when it communicates with claimants by telephone or email. Such personal information may include names, email addresses, postal addresses, telephone numbers, social security numbers, health related information, and/or financial account information. Fund Administrator may also collect personal information necessary to verify an individual’s status as a class member, such as transactional account data, documentation substantiating the purchase of an item or service, or verification of past or present employment. Additionally, as discussed below, Fund Administrator may collect internet or other electronic network activity information associated with the use of the Websites.

Fund Administrator may also collect personal information from its clients, as well as authorized third parties or publicly available sources. For example, Fund Administrator may collect personal information from a company in which a claimant or class member owns shares of stock, a brokerage firm, or a class action defendant. Additionally, Fund Administrator may collect personal information from third parties engaged to assist Fund Administrator in effectuating a legal notice program, to comply with applicable tax reporting requirements, or to otherwise fulfill Fund Administrator’s responsibilities for a particular matter as directed by a client or ordered by a court.

BUSINESS PURPOSE FOR COLLECTING PERSONAL INFORMATION

Fund Administrator collects personal information in connection with the provision of legal administrative services. Fund Administrator only collects personal information to the extent it is deemed by a court or client to be reasonably necessary to fulfill its responsibilities as a legal administrator. Fund Administrator’s clients and/or any courts that may be supervising a matter are ultimately responsible for determining whether it is reasonably necessary for Fund Administrator to collect certain types of personal information in connection with the administration of a matter.

USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED BY FUND ADMINISTRATOR

Fund Administrator collects personal information on behalf of its clients as a legal administrator to implement legal notice programs, process and validate claims, communicate with claimants and clients, and disburse settlement benefits. Fund Administrator will only use personal information to accomplish the purposes for which such information was provided to Fund Administrator and for any related matters to which the information may be directly relevant and used for a claimant’s benefit. Fund Administrator may also use personal information to customize the administrative services it provides, to investigate or prevent illegal activities such as suspected fraud, and to comply with applicable laws, regulations and court orders.

Fund Administrator retains personal information only so long as is necessary to accomplish the purposes for which it was provided subject to, as applicable, orders of the court, Fund Administrator’s document retention policies, contractual provisions, and the direction of Fund Administrator’s clients. All personal information is disposed of or destroyed in a manner that prevents loss, theft, misuse, reconstitution, or unauthorized access to the information.

DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION BY FUND ADMINISTRATOR

Fund Administrator may disclose personal information to trusted service providers who provide support services in connection with an administration. These service providers are restricted from using the personal information provided to them for any purpose not related to the engagement and are required to ensure the confidentiality of the personal information provided to them.

When required to do so, Fund Administrator may disclose personal information to taxing authorities in connection with applicable income reporting requirements. Additionally, Fund Administrator may be required, in accordance with a court order, to provide personal information to the court in which a matter is pending, to the litigants in a proceeding or to their counsel when it is necessary to complete the claims administration process.

Fund Administrator may also disclose personal information to clients and their retained professionals, counsel, auditors, or other third parties to the extent it is required by a court or Fund Administrator deems such disclosure reasonably necessary to accomplish the purposes for which Fund Administrator acquired the personal information and for any other settlements or related matters to which the information may be relevant for a claimant’s benefit.

Fund Administrator reserves the right to disclose personal information it has acquired if it believes, in good faith, that such disclosure is required by law, regulation or legal process, or that such disclosure may be necessary to establish or protect Fund Administrator’s legal rights, property or safety, or the rights, property or safety of others.

SALE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED BY FUND ADMINISTRATOR

Fund Administrator has not, does not and will not sell any of the personal information it collects on behalf of its clients in connection with the provision of its services.
