Data Privacy Policy
-
General
This Privacy Policy applies to the Hall v. AT&T Mobility Website (the "Settlement
Website"), which has been established by Rust Consulting, Inc. (the "Settlement
Administrator") to provide information about, and to receive and process claims
for, the Hall v. AT&T Mobility Settlement (the "Settlement"). For purposes of this
Privacy Policy, we refer to the Settlement Administrator and Class Counsel as "we"
or "us." Network Solutions is providing technical support and hosting services to
us.
This Privacy Policy applies to information that you submit through the Settlement
Website, on paper Claim Forms, or otherwise. This Privacy Policy does not apply
to any information that is publicly available, that is lawfully obtained from outside
sources or that you may submit to other websites or in connection with other programs.
We will only use your information pursuant to this Privacy Policy or as authorized
by you.
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time, so long as the change
is consistent with the
Settlement Agreement. We recommend that you review this Privacy Policy regularly
to ensure that you are familiar with our privacy practices. If at any time you have
questions regarding this Privacy Policy, you may contact us at the email or postal
addresses in the last paragraph of this Privacy Policy.
If we use a capitalized term in this Privacy Policy, that term has the same meaning
as in the Settlement
Agreement, unless we define it otherwise in this Privacy Policy.
The Settlement Website may contain links to information at other websites. By clicking
on one of these links, you are moving to another website. We encourage you to read
the privacy statements of these linked sites as their privacy policy may differ
from ours.

"Personally Identifiable Information" as used in this Privacy Policy is information
that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you, including your name,
street address, email address, telephone number, social security number, taxpayer
identification number, and your computer’s unique identifier information. We collect
Personally Identifiable Information in a variety of places on the Settlement Website,
such as when you:
- Sign up to receive the Notice of Class Action Settlement and other information about
the Settlement;
- Contact us through the Settlement Website to request information from us or for
other purposes relating to the Settlement;
- Submit a Claim Form to participate in the Settlement;
- Opt out of the Settlement.
- Other Information
We may receive data sent by your browser or as a result of the Settlement Website’s
use of "cookies."
When you visit the Settlement Website, we send one or more cookies – a small file
containing a string of characters – to your computer. We use cookies for various
reasons, including enabling us to recognize when you are logged in to the Settlement
Website and to provide access to your account while you are logged in, to store
your language preferences and to facilitate your use of the Settlement Website.
You may be able to control how cookies are used by consulting your Internet browser
software.
In addition, your browser may send us information, such as your requests to the
Settlement Website, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language and
the date and time of your request.
- Use of Information
We will only use or disclose your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy
or as authorized by you. We may use your information to administer the Settlement,
including to respond to your inquiries, directions and requests regarding the Settlement,
for the processing and administration of claims and payments (e.g., to send you
amounts due under the Settlement), to effectuate the Settlement (including to use
your content in accordance with the Settlement), and to improve our Settlement administration
services. We also may use your information to communicate with you about the status
of the Settlement and matters relating to the Settlement.
We will not associate Personally Identifiable Information collected from you through
the Settlement Website with any of your Personally Identifiable Information that
we obtain from sources other than you or other than through the Settlement Website
except for the uses specified by this Privacy Policy, unless such information is
public or as authorized by you.
Except as provided in this Privacy Policy or as authorized by you, we will not share
any of your Personally Identifiable Information with any other person. We may disclose
information that you provide about your Claim so long as we do not disclose your
Personally Identifiable Information. In addition, we may share information from
you and others in aggregated, non-personally identifiable form with any other person,
including members of the general public.
The information you provide in connection with opting out of the Settlement may
be disclosed to the Court and parties to the Settlement, and the names of those
persons who opt out will be listed on a publicly available attachment to the Final
Judgment and Order of Dismissal.
We may also use information, or share information with third parties, when we have
a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information
is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with legal process or otherwise satisfy any
applicable law or regulation; or (b) prevent fraud or imminent harm, ensure the
security of information or address technical issues.
We may use independent contractors, vendors and suppliers ("Outside Contractors").
If we use Outside Contractors to assist with the processing of your information,
we may disclose your information to them or receive your information through them.
Before disclosing any information to an Outside Contractor, we will, at a minimum,
require that it agrees to comply with our obligations under this Privacy Policy
with respect to information it receives from us or from you as our Outside Contractor.
- Access to and Removal of Information
At any time, you may request access to our copy of your Personally Identifiable
Information by contacting us at the email or postal addresses below. You may also
modify our copy of your Personally Identifiable Information by editing your account
information on the Settlement Website.
You may request that we delete your Personally Identifiable Information stored by
us in electronic form. We will honor your request but we are unable to guarantee
that all such information will be deleted because some residual information may
remain on back-up storage and other media. Please note that deletion of some or
all of your Personally Identifiable Information may affect your ability to participate
in the Settlement.
