Case 3:21-cv-01418-EMC Document 273-2 Filed 01/09/25 Page 2 of 146
1 I, Steven Weisbrot, declare and state as follows:
2 1. I am the President and Chief Executive Officer at the class action notice and claims
3 administration firm Angeion Group, LLC (“Angeion”). Angeion specializes in designing, developing,
4 analyzing, and implementing large-scale, un-biased, legal notification plans.
5 2. I have personal knowledge of the matters stated herein. In forming my opinions
6 regarding notice in this action, I have drawn from my extensive class action experience, as described
7 in the Declaration of Steven Weisbrot of Angeion Group re: Settlement Administration Protocol and
8 Proposed Notice Plan (“Notice Plan Declaration”) (Dkt. No. 241-2).
9 3. Angeion was appointed as Settlement Administrator and directed to carry out the
10 Notice Plan in conformance with the Class Action Settlement Agreement (Dkt. No. 241-1)
11 (“Agreement”), and to perform all other tasks required by the Agreement. See Order Granting
12 Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement (Dkt. No. 259) (“Preliminary Approval Order”).
13 4. The purpose of this declaration is to provide the Parties and the Court with a summary
14 of the work performed to implement the Court-approved Notice Plan, and to provide an update
15 regarding the number and status of Claim Forms received, requests for exclusion received, and
16 objections to the Settlement.
17 NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE CLASS ACTION FAIRNESS ACT OF 2005
18 5. The Agreement was filed with the Court on August 29, 2024. Accordingly, pursuant to
19 28 U.S.C. §§ 1715(b), Angeion caused notice of the Settlement (“CAFA Notice”) to be sent to the
20 Attorneys General of all U.S. states and territories, and the Attorney General of the United States on
21 September 6, 2024. A true and accurate copy of the CAFA Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
22 SUMMARY OF THE NOTICE PLAN
23 6. The Notice Plan provided for a comprehensive multi-faceted media campaign
24 consisting of state-of-the-art internet notice, social media notice via Facebook and Instagram, and a
25 paid search campaign via Google. The Notice Plan also included print publication in USA Today’s
26 California regional publication and the implementation of a dedicated Settlement Website and toll-
27
28
Case 3:21-cv-01418-EMC Document 273-2 Filed 01/09/25 Page 3 of 146
1 free telephone line where Settlement Class Members were able to learn more about their rights and
2 options pursuant to the terms of the Settlement.
3 7. The robust media campaign was designed to deliver an approximate 75.30% reach with
4 an average frequency of 3.09 times each by serving over sixty-eight (68) million impressions. What
5 this means in practice is that 75.30% of our Target Audience will see an advertisement concerning the
6 settlement an average of 3.09 times each.
7 MEDIA CAMPAIGN
8 Banner Ads
9 8. On October 18, 2024, Angeion commenced disseminating the internet banner notices
10 using a desktop and mobile ad campaign to notify and drive Settlement Class Members to the dedicated
11 Settlement Website where they could find more information about the Settlement and submit a claim
12 form. The internet banner ads ran for 28 days and served approximately 51,555,443 impressions. True
13 and correct copies of the internet banner ads are attached hereto as Exhibit B.
14 Social Media Ads
15 9. On October 18, 2024, Angeion commenced the social media campaign utilizing the
16 social media platforms Facebook and Instagram to notify and drive Settlement Class Members to the
17 dedicated Settlement Website. The social media ads ran concurrently with the internet banner notices
18 and served approximately 22,362,140 impressions. True and correct copies of the social media ads are
19 attached hereto as Exhibit C.
20 Paid Search
21 10. On October 18, 2024, Angeion commenced the paid search campaign via Google to
22 help drive Settlement Class Members who were actively searching for information about the
23 Settlement to the dedicated Settlement Website. The paid search has served approximately 3,900
24 impressions.
25 Reach & Frequency
26 11. The media plan exceeded expectations by serving over seventy-three (73) million
27 impressions, resulting in an approximate 78.95% reach with an average frequency of 3.20 times each.
28
2
Case 3:21-cv-01418-EMC Document 273-2 Filed 01/09/25 Page 4 of 146
1 In practice, this means that approximately 78.95% of our Target Audience saw an advertisement
2 concerning the Settlement an average of 3.20 times each. The approximate 78.95% reach is separate
3 and apart from the Settlement Website and toll-free hotline.
4 12. The Federal Judicial Center states that a publication notice plan that reaches 70% of
5 class members is one that reaches a “high percentage” and is within the “norm.” Barbara J. Rothstein
6 & Thomas E. Willging, Federal Judicial Center, “Managing Class Action Litigation: A Pocket Guide
7 for Judges”, at 27 (3d Ed. 2010).
8 13. In my professional opinion, this Notice Plan, as implemented, provided full and proper
9 notice to Settlement Class Members and is the best practicable notice under the circumstances,
10 fulfilling all due process requirements, fully comporting with Fed. R. Civ. P. 23, and the Northern
11 District’s Procedural Guidance for Class Action Settlements.
12 PRINT PUBLICATION
13 14. Angeion caused notice of the Settlement to be published in the California regional
14 edition of USA Today on October 18, 2024, October 25, 2024, November 1, 2024, November 8, 2024
15 and November 15, 2024. The circulation for the California regional edition of USA Today is
16 approximately 15,938. True and correct copies of the USA Today publications are attached hereto as
17 Exhibit D.

22 answers to frequently asked questions. The Settlement Website also has a “Contact Us” page whereby
23 Settlement Class Members can send a message with any additional questions to a dedicated email
24 address. Settlement Class Members were also able to submit a Claim Form or Exclusion request via
25 customized secure online portals.

8 ADDITIONAL CLAIMS STIMULATION EFFORTS
9 24. As reported in the Declaration of Steven Weisbrot of Angeion Group re: Status of
10 Claims Filing (“Status of Claims Filing Declaration”) (Dkt. No 271-1), Angeion worked closely with
11 Class Counsel and has undertaken numerous efforts to stimulate claims, summarized below.
12 Sponsored Class Action Website Listing
13 25. On or about November 25, 2024, Angeion caused a sponsored listing to be posted on a
14 leading class action settlement website, www.topclassactions.com. Angeion also caused the
15 Settlement to be featured in two email newsletters distributed by Top Class Actions (November 29,
16 2024 and December 3, 2024). True and correct copies of the Top Class Actions listing and email
17 newsletters are attached hereto as Exhibit H.
18 Social Media Ads
19 26. On December 3, 2024, Angeion implemented additional social media notice via the
20 social media platforms Facebook, Instagram, and X. The social media notices served approximately
21 2,597,734 impressions. The notices were specifically crafted utilizing simplified messaging and
22 stressed the impending claim filing deadline. Exemplar copies of the social media notices are attached
23 hereto as Exhibit I.
24 27. On December 23, 2024, video advertisements were incorporated into the Facebook
25 social media campaign. As of December 27, 2024, these videos have been viewed approximately
26 53,544 times on the Facebook platform.
27 Paid Search Campaign
28
5
Case 3:21-cv-01418-EMC Document 273-2 Filed 01/09/25 Page 7 of 146
1 28. On or about December 3, 2024, Angeion commenced an additional paid search
2 campaign via Google. The paid search campaign complemented the social media claims stimulation
3 efforts by driving Settlement Class Members who were actively searching for information about the
4 Settlement to the dedicated Settlement Website. The paid search campaign served approximately
5 11,189 impressions.
6 Press Release
7 29. On December 9, 2024, Angeion caused a press release announcing the Settlement and
8 the updated claims filing deadline to be distributed over PR Newswire. As of January 6, 2025, the
9 release was posted by approximately 511 media outlets with a total combined potential audience of
10 161.6 million visitors. A true and correct copy of the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit J.
11 Legal Influencer
12 30. On December 9, 2024, Angeion caused a social media video advertisement to be
13 distributed by The Lawyer Angela, a social media legal influencer, via TikTok and Instagram, to
14 further stimulate claims. As of January 5, 2025, the social media video advertisement has received
15 approximately 1,041,716 combined views across these platforms. A true and correct copy of the text
16 used in the social media video advertisement is attached hereto as Exhibit K.
17 YouTube
18 31. On December 23, 2024, Angeion commenced a YouTube video advertisement
19 campaign which targeted potential Settlement Class Members to notify and drive them to the dedicated
20 Settlement Website where they could find more information about the Settlement, including their
21 rights and options, and associated deadline date. The YouTube video advertisements have served
22 approximately 383,143 impressions. True and correct copies of the text used for the YouTube
23 advertisements are attached hereto as Exhibit L.
24 Summary of Additional Claims Stimulation Efforts
25 32. As stated in the Status of Claims Filing Declaration, the additional claim stimulation
26 efforts described herein exceeded customary notice efforts deployed in similar matters. These efforts
27 leveraged the latest contemporary media realities, allocating additional efforts in the areas that had
28
6
Case 3:21-cv-01418-EMC Document 273-2 Filed 01/09/25 Page 8 of 146
1 previously proven successful, and focused on all aspects of the traditional marketing funnel, from
2 awareness through conversion. In summary, the integrated media campaign exceeded the notice
3 program approved by this Court.
4 33. Inclusive of the additional Claim Stimulation efforts, the combined media notice plan
5 served over seventy-six (76) million impressions, resulting in an approximate 81.25% reach with an
6 average frequency of 3.24 times each. The approximate 81.25% reach does not include the Sponsored
7 Class Action Website listing, Legal Influencer posting, Press Release, Settlement Website and toll-
8 free hotline, which are difficult to measure in reach, but nevertheless serve an instrumental role in
9 providing additional notice of the Settlement to potential Settlement Class Members.
10 CLAIMS FILING & FRAUD DETECTION
11 34. Angeion analyzed the claim submissions for validation and fraud detection. On or about
12 November 15, 2024, Angeion identified a significant volume of claims filing attempts on the
13 Settlement Website that appeared to overwhelmingly emanate from bad actors posing as legitimate
14 claimants. Angeion investigated those filings, and after review, believes these claims primarily were
15 filed via bots or originated from other fraudulent claims filing mechanisms that were recognizable to
16 Angeion. Importantly, a significant number of these claim submission attempts were identified and
17 prevented via Angeion’s fraud detection system, AngeionAffirm (described in greater detail in the
18 Notice Plan, Dkt. No. 241-2).
19 35. As reported in my Status of Claims Filing Declaration, on December 13, 2024, after
20 discussing with counsel, Angeion implemented a requirement for all payment methods to verify their
21 selection via SMS (short message service) (i.e. text message via one-time password (“OTP”)), rather
22 than offering the option of email verification or SMS. This change was intentionally designed to verify
23 that the claims filed were submitted by a human, rather than by a bot (in an attempt to commit fraud).
24 On December 19, 2024, the settings were updated on the SMS to further dissuade fraudulent claims
25 by limiting the number of times the same phone number may be utilized in the OTP process. As
26 described above, Angeion identified a large volume of bad actors posing as legitimate claim filers, and
27 implemented these changes in the ongoing efforts to identify and prevent fraudulent submissions.

10 40. On December 26, 2024, Class Counsel forwarded an email from a Class Member
11 experiencing difficulty submitting a claim. We promptly responded to this individual to assist with
12 submitting their claim, and were able to successfully process the claim.
13 41. While fraud review is ongoing for certain claims, the following table reflects the status
14 of claims as of January 8, 2025.
15 Approximate Claims received 752,034 (750,439 electronic, 1,595 paper)
16 Approximate Claims preliminarily approved 134,325
Approximate Claims pending validation and

21
Opt outs received after the deadline 0
22 Objections received by the deadline 0

24 42. Utilizing only the 134,325 preliminarily approved claims thus far yields a claims rate
25 of approximately 0.336% and an estimated per-claimant recovery of $144.20 for each participating
26 claimant.
27
28

Case 3:21-cv-01418-EMC Document 273-2 Filed 01/09/25 Page 11 of 146
1 43. Angeion is continuing its multifaceted review of the 46,493 claims noted as “pending
2 validation” in the chart above so as to ensure they were submitted by legitimate claimants.
3 REQUESTS FOR EXCLUSION
4 44. The deadline for Settlement Class Members to request exclusion from the Settlement
5 was December 6, 2024. As of January 6, 2025, Angeion has received fifty (50) timely requests for
6 exclusion and zero late requests for exclusion from the Settlement. A list containing the names of the
7 individuals who have requested exclusion from the Settlement is attached hereto as Exhibit M.
8 OBJECTIONS TO THE SETTLEMENT
9 45. The deadline for Settlement Class Members to object to the Settlement was December
10 6, 2024. As of January 6, 2025, Angeion has not received, nor been made aware of any Objections to
11 the Settlement.
12 NOTICE & ADMINISTRATION COSTS
13 46. Through December 31, 2024, the cost to provide notice to the Settlement Class and
14 perform the administrative tasks required under the Settlement is approximately $472,565.70. The
15 chart below illustrates the costs broken down by category:
16
Description Amount
17
Costs to Implement Notice, Including CAFA Notice $ 302,943.00
18 Claims Processing and Opt Out, Objection & Class Member Related Processing $ 117,992.60
Settlement Website & Call Center $ 12,708.00
19
Case and Document Management, Project Management and Reporting $ 38,922.10
20 Total $ 472,565.70
21
47. Angeion estimates the total costs for disseminating class notice, along with claims
22
processing and distribution through completion, will be approximately $545,000.
23
CONCLUSION
24
48. The Notice Plan provided for a robust and diverse media campaign consisting of state-
25
of-the-art targeted internet notice, social media notice, and a paid search campaign, and the
26
implementation of a dedicated Settlement Website, and toll-free telephone line where Class Members
27
28
10
Case 3:21-cv-01418-EMC Document 273-2 Filed 01/09/25 Page 12 of 146
1 could learn more about their rights and options pursuant to the terms of the Settlement. Additionally,
2 the comprehensive Claims Stimulation campaign further disseminated notice of the Settlement.
3 49. It remains my professional opinion that the Notice Plan and additional notice efforts
4 implemented in this Settlement provided full and proper notice to Settlement Class Members before
5 the claims, opt-out, and objection deadlines. Moreover, it is my opinion that the Notice Plan was the
6 best notice practicable under the circumstances, fully comporting with due process and Fed. R. Civ.
7 P. 23, and the Northern District’s Procedural Guidance for Class Action Settlements.

9 I hereby declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Ride-hailing drivers unite for change
Group’s network seeks
to improve pay, safety
Tatiana Walk-Morris
Capital & Main
On a muggy June morning, a handful
of rides-hailing drivers descended on
Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport
with stacks of red, white and blue leaf-
lets, limp in the heat, that demanded to
“end unfair deactivations.” A similar
scene unfolded at Denver International
Airport and Uber’s Greenlight Hub in
San Jose, California. Together, drivers in
three states launched Activate Respect,
a national campaign against driver de-
activations — what workers refer to as
being “fired by an app.”
The three-city action also marked an
addition to the growing national move-
ment to make ride-hailing jobs good
jobs. “It’s potentially very powerful for
drivers to connect across cities,” said
Mariah Montgomery, national cam-
paigns director at PowerSwitch Action,
an Oakland, California-based advocacy
group. That connection, she said, lets
workers “learn from both the wins and
the losses people have experienced to
apply that information in more places.”
While local campaigns have dom-
inated efforts to improve the jobs of
drivers at ride-hailing companies such
as Lyft and Uber, Activate Respect is
part of an emerging trend to coordinate
driver demands in different places. Or-
ganized by PowerSwitch Action, the
campaign against companies stripping
drivers of access to their work accounts
builds on multiple local efforts to im-
prove ride-hailing jobs — some success-
ful, some not, but all bearing sharing
enough common ground that building a
national effort seemed a logical step.
“We can kind of see what’s happening
across places and say to somebody that
we're hearing, you know, the same thing
in two different places, and maybe you
should talk,” Montgomery said.
The first inklings for PowerSwitch
came in 2021 when the group discussed
drivers’ problems with the Action Cen-
ter on Race and the Economy (ACRE)
and other groups. In 2023, PowerSwitch
Action, ACRE and Gig Workers Rising
released a national report about ride-
hailing drivers who have died on the job.
They also organized a National Day of
Action to educate the public about driv-
ers’ safety concerns. Activate Respect
goes a step further, Montgomery said,
by making the same, specific demand —
transparency and _ accountability
around deactivations - in different
places.
Activists hope that the campaign can
build on recent local successes.
In 2024, Minnesota and Colorado
passed important ride-hailing legisla-
tion. In May, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz,
who is also the Democratic candidate
for vice president, signed a bill estab-
lishing a minimum pay rate for ridesh-
are drivers. The law followed a nearly
two-year effort by the Minnesota Uber/
Lyft Drivers Association that made na-
tional headlines. In June, Colorado leg-
islators passed a law requiring compa-
nies to publicly disclose fares, driver
wages, and deactivation policies after a
campaign by Colorado Independent
Drivers United.
In an emailed statement to Capital &
Main, Uber said the Minnesota law
“represents a new way Officials are look-
ing at the gig economy: a focus on bene-
fits and protections, rather than on em-
ployment classification.”
Uber said that in Colorado, “We ap-
preciate that Colorado Independent
Drivers United was willing to make such
significant compromises” but that the
law will “have unintended conse-
quences for both drivers and riders.”
The company statement did not specify
what those consequences might be.
In Washington state, ride-hailing
drivers working with the Teamsters Lo-
cal 117-affiliated Drivers Union won
groundbreaking protections in both
2023 and 2024. In 2023, drivers suc-
cessfully lobbied lawmakers for the pas-
sage of a new pay standard, paid sick
leave and workers’ compensation in the
state of Washington. This year, they also
won death benefits under workers’ com-
pensation coverage — which they claim
as a first in the nation. Washington driv-
ers can also now file complaints against
rideshare companies and appeal deacti-
vations, and the protections are en-
forced by the Washington State Depart-
ment of Labor and Industries.
An Uber spokesperson expressed the
company’s support for drivers main-
taining their independent contractor
status while receiving additional pro-
tections. The statement praised the
“hard work and a commitment from all
parties to stay at the negotiating table”
and said the legislation could be a model
for “cities, states and countries around
the world.”

a work strike on Feb. 14 in Chicago. The demonstration was staged by Uber, Lyft
and DoorDash drivers. SCOTT OLSON/GETTY IMAGES
Uber and Lyft have fought local ef-
forts to establish protections. In Califor-
nia, for example, gig workers, including
rideshare drivers, collaborated with
groups such as California Gig Workers
Union, Gig Workers Rising, Service Em-
ployees International Union Local 721
and SEIU Local 1021 to win worker pro-
tections under AB5, a law that took ef-
fect in January 2020 and reclassified
some contractors as employees — and
made the companies that employed
drivers responsible for their working
conditions. Uber and Lyft worked with
DoorDash, Instacart and Postmates to
successfully cancel it out that Novem-
ber by pushing Proposition 22, an initia-
tive approved by state voters that al-
lowed the companies to continue classi-
fying ride-hailing workers as indepen-
dent contractors. Drivers in New York
City, meanwhile, won significant pro-
tections last year, but they continue to
battle new strategies that companies
are using to reduce payments to drivers.
Uber said that it has invested more
than $1 billion into Prop 22 benefits for
California drivers and couriers as of
April 2024 but offered no further com-
ment on its stance on the law.
Over time, Montgomery said, it be-
came clear that rideshare companies
had developed a playbook for fighting
worker protections — and for responding
to threats of regulation. For example,
Uber and Lyft have suspended opera-
tions or threatened to leave areas where
regulation is likely to expand, including
cities such as Austin, Texas; Chicago;
and Minneapolis and states such as
California and Arizona.
Cross-city organizing among ride-
hailing drivers is difficult because they
are so physically isolated from one an-
other, said Katie Wells, a postdoctoral
Fritz Fellow with Georgetown Univer-
sity’s new Tech & Society initiative and
co-author of “Disrupting D.C.: The Rise
of Uber and the Fall of the City.” Without
a physical central hub — think the taxi
garages once commonplace in big cities
— ride-hailing drivers do not encounter
each other in passing. “The fact that
some folks are coming together to orga-
nize — it’s really impressive,” Wells said.
“One reason why it’s so important is
because we don’t have regulators stand-
ing up to these companies, and so we
have no other choice. All these groups
have to come together to say that Silicon
Valley isn’t going to get to have its way,”
Wells said.
Chicago drivers work
across state lines
Chicago drivers offer a prime exam-
ple of collaboration across state lines.
Working with The People’s Lobby and
the local chapter of the Gig Alliance,
Chicago ride-hailing drivers have been
pushing for the Chicago Rideshare Liv-
ing Wage and Safety Ordinance since
2022. The proposed citywide law would
raise driver pay, cap corporate profit
from each passenger fare and standard-
ize notice for deactivations, among oth-
er protections. But they are not going it
alone.
Over the past few years, Power-
Switch Action had been working infor-
mally to connect ride-hailing drivers
across multiple cities and states, said
Jeff Barrera, communications director
at PowerSwitch Action. But its cross-
city collaboration took shape last fall,
said J.C. Muhammad, a part-time ride-
hailing driver and full-time organizer
with The People’s Lobby.
That collaboration began last fall
when California drivers with Gig Work-
ers Rising flew to Chicago to meet their
peers. The chilly trip was the first time
Jose Gazo, a San Francisco-based driv-
er, had visited the city, which was excit-
ing. Before an official meeting, Gazo
helped call local drivers to invite them to
a meeting, highlighting that he had
come out to hear what his peers were
experiencing in the industry.
The cross-country group also spent
several hours canvassing other drivers
at O’Hare airport, asking them to write
letters supporting the Chicago ride-
hailing ordinance and to join the up-
coming deactivation campaign, said Lo-
ri Simmons, gig worker organizer with
the People’s Lobby in Chicago.
As the drivers spoke about their
work, they realized how much they had
in common - especially a drop in pay.
“All of us have different efforts going
on in different cities to address pay,”
said Muhammad, the Chicago driver
who participated in the meeting with
California drivers. Another Chicago
driver who volunteers for the Chicago
Gig Alliance, Joe Negrau, had been
keeping a spreadsheet to track his
wages from 2021 to 2023. He said he
earned $2.70 per mile from Uber in 2021
before expenses — but only $1.55 per
mile in 2023. A 2023 City of Chicago pay
study found that nearly two-thirds
(65.3%) of full-time ride-hailing drivers
earned $31 and $40 on average per hour
spent driving passengers, which
dropped down to between $18.90 and
$27.90 after expenses.
It was similar in California. There, a
California Gig Workers Union survey of
658 Southern California drivers con-
ducted between March and April 2022
found that 85% of respondents said ris-
ing gas prices had reduced their earn-
ings “by a lot.” A high percentage of re-
spondents also reported struggling to
afford living expenses such as housing
(82%), utilities (60%), food (59%) and
medical expenses (23%).
In their conversations, the drivers
realized that low pay wasn’t the only
problem they shared. With a worrisome
series of customer attacks on drivers,
safety was also a concern. Unexpected
deactivations without recourse were a
problem, too.
“The next biggest thing that we need-
ed to tackle on a national scale is deacti-
vations,” Muhammad said.
In March, Chicago ride-hailing driv-
ers flew out to San Jose to meet with the
Gig Workers Alliance and Colorado In-
dependent Drivers United to plan for the
coming year, Simmons said. That
month, they landed on unfair deactiva-
tions as their initial target, and the Acti-
vate Respect campaign was born.
In the months since, the cross-city
meetups have continued, Simmons
said.
In response to Capital & Main’s ques-
tions regarding various ride-hailing and
gig work laws emerging across multiple
states, a Lyft spokesperson said, “What
we've seen over the past several years is
a shift in the public dialog away from
should drivers be employees to figuring
out the best way to design protections
and benefits that make sense in the con-
text of ride-hailing. That’s why you’ve
seen efforts to negotiate compromises
in places like Washington, Minnesota
and Colorado, where the companies, la-
bor leaders, drivers and elected officials
attempted to work together to find com-
mon ground.”
The Lyft spokesperson continued,
“Not all these solutions have been per-
fect, but what they have shown is that
we can begin to improve the driver ex-
perience on the platform without sacri-
ficing the flexibility and independence
that draws people to this type of work in
the first place.”

more about how their information is used, and make a series of
changes to CLEAR's settings and Thomson Reuters' practices in
managing CLEAR. The full terms of the settlement, including the
specific business practice changes that Thomson Reuters has agreed
to implement, can be found at www.ClearPrivacySettlement.com.
Thomson Reuters has agreed to pay $27,500,000 into a settlement
fund. This money will be divided among the class members and will
also be used to pay for costs and fees approved by the Court, including
attorneys' fees (which is $6,875,000 or 25% of the settlement fund),
attorneys' costs incurred in litigating this case (which will not exceed
$700,000) and the cost of administering this settlement (expected to
be no more than $485,000). After deductions, remaining funds will be
divided equally among class members who timely submit claim forms.
A precise estimate of the amount each class member will receive is not
possible at this time, as it depends on the number of claims that are
submitted. However, based on current estimates, it is expected
that class members may receive between $19 and $48. Members of
the settlement class will “release” their claims as part of the
settlement, which means, at a minimum, they cannot sue Thomson
Reuters for the same issues in this lawsuit. The full terms of the
release can be found at www.ClearPrivacySettlement.com.
If there is money left over after the claims process is completed, it will
be donated to organization(s) approved by the Court.

3, 2016 and October 31, 2024, and were 18 years old (or older) during
that time, you may be a member of the class and entitled to money.
How much will my payment be?
The amount of the payments to individual class members will depend
on the number of valid claims submitted. Because the final payment
amount cannot be calculated before all claims for compensation are
received and verified, it is not possible to provide the precise amounts
of the payment for each valid claim before the deadline to file claims.
However, based on current estimates, individual class members
can expect to receive between $19 and $48.
Deciding What to Do
How do I weigh my options?
You have four options. You can stay in the settlement and submit a
claim, you can opt out of the settlement, you can object to the
settlement, or you can do nothing. This chart shows the effects of each
option:

Submitting a Claim
How do I get a payment if I am a class member?
If you wish to receive money, you must submit a completed claim form
to the Settlement Administrator online or download a claim form at
www.ClearPrivacySettlement.com and mail a completed form to the
Settlement Administrator (address below). To submit a proper claim
form, you will have to sign a statement that you lived in California for
any period of time between December 3, 2016 and October 31, 2024.
That statement will be made under penalty of perjury, which means
that if you knowingly provide false information in that statement, it is a
felony.
You must submit a claim form by December 6, 2024 to receive money
from the settlement.
Do I have a lawyer in this lawsuit?
In a class action, the court appoints class representatives and lawyers
to work on the case and represent the interests of all the class
members. For this settlement, the Court has appointed the following
individuals and lawyers.
Your lawyers:
Andre M. Mura Geoffrey A. Graber
Gibbs Law Group LLP Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll
1111 Broadway, Suite 2100 PLLC
Oakland, CA 94067 1100 New York Ave. NW, Fifth
Floor
Washington, DC 20005
These are the lawyers who negotiated this settlement on your behalf.
If you want to be represented by your own lawyer, you may hire one at
your own expense.

Case 3:21-cv-01418-EMC Document 273-2 Filed 01/09/25 Page 64 of 146
Do I have to pay the lawyers in this lawsuit?
Lawyers' fees and costs will be paid from the Settlement Fund. You
will not have to pay the lawyers directly.
To date, your lawyers have not been paid any money for their work or
the expenses that they have paid for the case. To pay for some of their
time and risk in bringing this case without any guarantee of payment
unless they were successful, your lawyers will request, as part of the
final approval of this Settlement, that the Court approve a payment for
their legal services, a request that will not ask for more than
$6,875,000 (25%) total in attorneys’ fees plus the reimbursement of
out-of-pocket expenses (which will not exceed $700,000). Your lawyers
will also ask the Court to approve the costs of administering this
settlement as those costs are incurred, which are currently estimated
to be $485,000.
Lawyers' fees and expenses will only be awarded if approved by the
Court as a fair and reasonable amount. You have the right to object to
the lawyers' fees even if you think the settlement terms are fair.
Your lawyers will also ask the Court to approve a payment of $5,000 to
each of the two Class Representatives for the time and effort they
contributed to the case. If approved by the Court, this will be paid from
the Settlement Fund.
Opting Out
What if I don't want to be part of this settlement?
You can opt out. If you do, you will not receive payment and cannot
object to the settlement. However, you will not be bound or affected
by anything that happens in this lawsuit and may be able to file your
own case. You cannot exclude yourself from the program changes
called for by the proposed settlement. The section below tells you how
to submit an opt out (by mail or online).
You must submit an opt out that will be received by December 6, 2024
to exclude yourself from the settlement.

Case 3:21-cv-01418-EMC Document 273-2 Filed 01/09/25 Page 65 of 146
How do I opt out?
To opt out of the settlement, you must complete the opt out form
available at www.ClearPrivacySettlement.com and either submit the
opt-out form online at www.ClearPrivacySettlement.com or mail it to
the Settlement Administrator at:
CLEAR Privacy Settlement
Attn: Opt Outs
P.O. Box 58220
Philadelphia, PA 19102
Whether you submit the opt-out form online or send it by mail, it must
be received by the settlement administrator by December 6, 2024 to
be valid. Be sure to include your name, address, telephone number
(and/or email address), and signature. The full instructions for
submitting an opt-out are available at
www.ClearPrivacySettlement.com.
Objecting
What if I disagree with the settlement?
If you disagree with any part of the settlement (including the lawyers'
fees) but don’t want to opt out, you may object. If you object, you are
still a class member, and you must still submit a separate claim form if
you want to receive money from the settlement. When you submit
your objection, you must give reasons why you think the Court should
not approve it and say whether your objection applies to just you, a
part of the class, or the entire class. The Court will consider your views.
The Court can only approve or deny the settlement — it cannot change
the terms of the settlement. You may, but don’t need to, hire your own
lawyer to help you.
To object, you must send a letter to the Court that:
(1) is received by December 6, 2024;
(2) includes the case name and number (Brooks v. Thomson Reuters
Corp., No. 3:21-cv-01418)

address (if you have one);

(5) says whether either you or your lawyer intend to appear at the final

Your letter must be received by the Court by December 6, 2024 for
your objection to be valid. Mail the letter to:

Courtroom 5 - 17th Floor
450 Golden Gate Avenue

the Court's PACER or Electronic Case Filing system by December 6,
2024. For instructions on how to file, visit
www.cand.uscourts.gov/cases-e-filing/.
Doing Nothing
What are the consequences of doing nothing?
If you do nothing, you will not get any money, but you will still be
bound by the settlement and its “release” provisions. That means you
won’t be able to start, continue, or be part of any other lawsuit against,
at minimum, Thomson Reuters about the issues in this case. Please
see the settlement agreement, which can be found at
www.ClearPrivacySettlement.com for a full description of the claims
and persons who will be released if this settlement is approved.

Acerca de este aviso
¿Por qué recibí este aviso?
Este aviso es para informarle sobre el acuerdo de una demanda
colectiva, Brooks v. Thomson Reuters Corp., presentada en nombre de
residentes actuales y anteriores de California que alegan que
Thomson Reuters puso a la venta información sobre ellos a través de
su producto, CLEAR. Usted recibió este aviso porque puede que sea
miembro del grupo de personas afectadas, denominado el
“grupo”. Es posible que tenga derecho a una compensación
monetaria como parte de este acuerdo de demanda colectiva. En
este momento, es imposible calcular con precisión cuánto dinero
está disponible para cada miembro del grupo, ya que dependerá
de cuántos miembros del grupo presenten reclamos. Los cálculos
actuales sugieren que podría tener derecho a entre $19 y $48.
Este aviso le brinda un resumen de los términos del acuerdo de
conciliación propuesto, explica qué derechos tienen los miembros del
grupo y les ayuda a tomar decisiones informadas sobre qué acción
emprender.
¿Qué puedo hacer?

Enterarse de qué se trata el acuerdo
¿Qué ofrece el acuerdo?
El acuerdo dispone medidas cautelares y compensaciones monetarias
para los miembros del grupo. Más específicamente, el acuerdo paga
dinero a los residentes actuales y anteriores de California cuya
información supuestamente se puso a disposición a través del
producto de Thomson Reuters, CLEAR, y exigirá que Thomson Reuters
cambie algunas de sus prácticas en la operación de CLEAR. Thomson
Reuters ha acordado mejorar su procedimiento de exclusión
voluntaria para los californianos que buscan eliminar su información
personal de CLEAR o revisar la información sobre ellos en CLEAR,
poner más información sobre CLEAR a disposición de los californianos
que deseen saber más sobre cómo se utiliza su información, y realizar
una serie de cambios en la configuración de CLEAR y las prácticas de
Thomson Reuters en la gestión de CLEAR. Los términos completos del
acuerdo, incluidos los cambios específicos en las prácticas comerciales
que Thomson Reuters ha acordado implementar, se pueden encontrar
en www.ClearPrivacySettlement.com.
Thomson Reuters acordó pagar $27,500,000 a un fondo del acuerdo.
Este dinero se dividirá entre los miembros del grupo y también se
utilizará para pagar los costos y honorarios aprobados por el Tribunal,
incluidos los honorarios de los abogados (que son $6,875,000 o el 25
% del fondo del acuerdo), los costos de los abogados incurridos en el
litigio de este caso (que no excederán los $700,000) y el costo de
administrar este acuerdo (se espera que no supere los $485,000).
Después de las deducciones, los fondos restantes se dividirán en

partes iguales entre los miembros del grupo que presenten en tiempo
y forma los formularios de reclamo. En este momento no es posible
realizar un cálculo preciso de la cantidad que recibirá cada miembro
del grupo de la demanda colectiva, ya que depende del número de
reclamos que se presenten. Sin embargo, según los cálculos
actuales, se espera que los miembros del grupo puedan recibir
entre $19 y $48. Los miembros del grupo del acuerdo “eximirán” sus
reclamos como parte del acuerdo, lo que significa que, como mínimo,
no pueden demandar a Thomson Reuters por los mismos temas
tratados en esta demanda. Los términos completos de la eximición se
pueden encontrar en www.ClearPrivacySettlement.com.
Si queda dinero después de que se complete el proceso de reclamos,
se donará a organizaciones aprobadas por el Tribunal.
¿Cómo puedo saber si formo parte del acuerdo?
Si residió en California durante cualquier período de tiempo entre el 3
de diciembre de 2016 y el 31 de octubre de 2024, y tenía 18 años (o
más) durante ese tiempo, puede ser miembro del grupo y tener
derecho a recibir dinero.
¿De cuánto será mi pago?
El importe de los pagos a los miembros individuales del grupo
dependerá del número de reclamos válidos presentados. Dado que el
monto del pago final no puede calcularse antes de que se reciban y
verifiquen todos los reclamos de indemnización, no será posible
proporcionar el monto exacto del pago por cada reclamo válido antes
de la fecha límite para presentar los reclamos. Sin embargo, según
los cálculos actuales, los miembros individuales del grupo pueden
esperar recibir entre $19 y $48.

Presentar un reclamo
¿Cómo obtengo un pago si soy miembro del grupo de la demanda?
Si desea recibir dinero, debe enviar un formulario de reclamo
completado al Administrador del Acuerdo en línea o descargar un
formulario de reclamo en www.ClearPrivacySettlement.com y enviar
un formulario completado por correo postal al Administrador del
Acuerdo (dirección a continuación). Para presentar un formulario de
reclamo debidamente completado, deberá firmar una declaración de
que vivió en California durante cualquier período de tiempo entre el 3
de diciembre de 2016 y el 31 de octubre de 2024. Esa declaración se
hará bajo pena de perjurio, lo que significa que si a sabiendas
proporciona información falsa en esa declaración, es un delito grave.
Debe presentar un formulario de reclamo a más tardar el 6 de
diciembre de 2024 para recibir dinero del acuerdo.
¿Cuento con un abogado en esta demanda?
En una demanda colectiva, el tribunal designa a representantes del
grupo de la demanda y abogados para que trabajen en el caso y
representen los intereses de todos los miembros del grupo. Para este
acuerdo, el Tribunal ha designado a las siguientes personas y
abogados.

¿Tengo que pagarles a los abogados en esta demanda?
Los honorarios y costos de los abogados se pagarán con cargo al
fondo del acuerdo. No tendrá que pagar directamente a los
abogados.
Hasta la fecha, a sus abogados no se les ha pagado ningún dinero por
su trabajo o los gastos que han hecho por el caso. Para pagar parte de
su tiempo y riesgo al presentar este caso sin ninguna garantía de pago
a menos que tuvieran éxito, sus abogados solicitarán, como parte de
la aprobación final de este Acuerdo, que el Tribunal apruebe un pago
por sus servicios legales, una solicitud que no pedirá más de
$6,875,000 (25 %) en total en honorarios legales más el reembolso de
los gastos de bolsillo (que no excederán los $700,000). Sus abogados
también le pedirán al Tribunal que apruebe los costos de administrar
este acuerdo a medida que se incurre en esos costos, que
actualmente se estiman en $485,000.
Los honorarios y gastos legales solo se otorgarán si el Tribunal lo
aprueba como un monto justo y razonable. Tiene derecho a oponerse
a los honorarios de los abogados, incluso si cree que los términos del
acuerdo son justos.
Sus abogados también le pedirán al Tribunal que apruebe un pago de
$5,000 a cada uno de los dos Representantes del Grupo por el tiempo
y el esfuerzo que contribuyeron al caso. De ser aprobado por el
Tribunal, esto se pagará del Fondo del Acuerdo.
Solicitar la exclusión
¿Qué pasa si no quiero ser parte de este acuerdo?
Puede solicitar ser excluido. Si se excluye, no recibirá ningún pago y no
podrá oponerse al acuerdo. Sin embargo, no estará obligado ni
afectado por nada de lo que suceda en esta demanda y es posible que
pueda presentar su propio caso. No puede excluirse de los cambios en
el programa que exige el acuerdo propuesto. La siguiente sección le

法院已指示双方就拟议的和解向您发送此通知。 由于集体诉讼的和解会决
定拟议集体诉讼所有成员的权利，因此法院必须在和解生效之前对和解给予
最终批准。 只有在法院批准和解后，才会支付和解金。
您不必出席听证会，但可以自费出席。 您还可以请求法院允许您就和解发
表意见。 如果法院不批准和解或双方决定终止和解，则该和解无效，诉讼
将继续。 听证会的日期可能会发生变更，恕不另行通知集体成员。 如需了

。
诉讼概况
和解提供了什么？
此项和解为集体成员提供了金钱和禁令救济。 更具体地说，该和解协议将
向加州现居民和前居民支付和解金（因指控居民信息是通过汤森路透的产品
CLEAR 公开的），并将要求汤森路透改变其在运作 CLEAR 方面的一些做法
。 汤森路透已同意加强其用户选择退出程序，方便希望从 CLEAR 中删除其
个人信息或在 CLEAR 中查看有关其信息的加州居民，向希望更多地了解其
信息如何被使用的加州居民提供有关 CLEAR 的更多信息，并对 CLEAR 的设
置和汤森路透管理 CLEAR 的做法进行一系列改变。 和解协议的完整条款，
包括汤森路透同意实施的具体商业做法变更，可在
www.ClearPrivacySettlement.com 查阅。
汤森路透已同意向和解基金支付 $27,500,000。 这笔资金将在集体成员之
间分配，还将用于支付法院批准的开支和费用，包括律师费（$6,875,000
，占和解基金的 25%），报销本案诉讼所产生的律师开支（不超过
$700,000）和管理这项和解的开支（预计不超过 $485,000）。 扣除后的
剩余资金将由按时提交索赔表的集体成员均分。 目前无法准确估计每个集
体成员将收到的金额，因为这取决于提交的索赔数量。 但是，根据目前的
估计，预计集体成员可能获得的金额介于 $19 - $48 之间。 作为和解的一
部分，和解集体的成员将“放弃”各自的申索，这意味着至少就这起诉讼中
的同一问题而言，其将不能起诉汤森路透。 有关放弃权利的完整条款，请
参阅 www.ClearPrivacySettlement.com。
如果在索赔程序完成后仍有剩余资金，这些资金将捐赠给经法院批准的组织
。
我如何知道自己是否属于此和解的一员？

Case 3:21-cv-01418-EMC Document 273-2 Filed 01/09/25 Page 89 of 146
如果在 2016 年 12 月 3 日至 2024 年 10 月 31 日期间您在加利福尼亚州居
住过，并且在此期间年满 18 岁（或以上），则您可能是该集体的一员并有
权获得和解金。
我可以获得多少和解金？
向单个集体成员支付的金额取决于提交的有效索赔的数量。 由于在收到并
核实所有赔偿要求之前无法计算最后付款额，因此在提出索赔的截止日期之
前无法提供每个有效索赔的和解金确切金额。 然而，根据目前的估计，预
计单个集体成员可获得的金额介于 $19 - $48 之间。
决定要怎么做
我如何权衡自己的选项？
您有四个选项。 您可以留在和解中并提交索赔表，可以退出和解，可以反
对和解，或者可以什么都不做。 此图表显示了每个选项的影响：

年 12 月 3 日至 2024 年 10 月 31 日期间，您在加利福尼亚州居住过。 该
声明将受到伪证处罚的约束，这意味着如果您在声明中故意提供虚假信息，
则构成重罪。
您必须在 2024 年 12 月 6 日之前提交索赔表，才能获得和解和解金。
在这起诉讼中，我有律师吗？
在集体诉讼中，法院指定有集体代表和律师来办理案件，并代表所有集体成
员的利益。 为达成这项和解，法院任命了下列个人和律师。
您的律师：

如果您想由自己的律师代理，可以自费聘请律师。
在这起诉讼中，我需要支付律师的费用吗？
律师费和开支将从和解基金中支付。 您无需直接向律师支付费用。
迄今为止，您的律师尚未获得任何工作报酬，也尚未报销为案件垫付的费用
。 为了支付他们在提起本诉讼过程中的一些时间和风险（即除非胜诉，否
则没有任何付款保障），作为本和解最终批准的一部分，您的律师将请求法

院批准支付法律服务费用，总额为不超过 $6,875,000（25%） 的律师费加
上垫付费用报销（不超过 $700,000）。 律师还将要求法院批准因管理这项
和解业已产生的费用，目前估计为 $485,000。
律师费和开支只有在法院批准金额公平合理后才会判给。 即使您认为和解
条款公平，您也有权反对律师费用。
律师还将请求法院批准向两位集体代表每人支付 $5,000，以报答他们为案
件贡献的时间和精力。 如果法院批准，这笔费用将从和解基金中支付。
退出
如果我不想参与此次和解，该怎么做？
您可以退出。 如果您这样做，您将不会收到和解金，也不能反对和解。 但
是，您不会受到此诉讼中发生的任何事情的约束或影响，并且可以自己提起
诉讼。 您不能将自己排除在拟议和解所要求的程序变更之外。 以下部分向
您介绍如何提交退出表（通过邮件或线上方式）。

A $27.5 million class action settlement resolves claims that Thomson Reuters’ Clear SUBSCRIBE NOW
product exposed the personal information of California residents.
The Clear settlement includes all adults who resided in California for any period of
time between Dec. 3, 2016, and Oct. 31, 2024. You do not need to have used
CLEAR or have an account with CLEAR to qualify. Even if you no longer live in
California, you may still qualify if you resided in California at any point during the
class period.
Consumers in the Thomson Reuters class action lawsuit claimed the company
made their personal information available for sale via Clear. Thomson Reuters
allegedly violated Californians’ privacy rights by selling access to their personal
information without their consent.
Thomson Reuters is an AI and technology company that sells many products,
including Clear, its public records technology tool.
Under the terms of the Clear settlement, class members can receive an equal
share of the net settlement fund. Exact payments will vary depending on the
number of claims filed, but estimates suggest each claimant may receive
between $19 and $48.

In addition to providing monetary compensation, Thomson Reuters agreed to
change some of its practices in operating Clear, including enhancing its opt-out
procedure for Californians, making more information about Clear available to
Californians and changing Clear’s settings and Thomson Reuters’ practices in
managing Clear.
The claim form deadline is Dec. 27, 2024.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is Dec. 6, 2024.

MESSAGE FROM SCOTT HARDY
Happy Tuesday, my friends! I hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday! We
did! Somehow, after two weeks on the road (and 4 pounds more on the scale), I
got back down to my target weight over the weekend. Yes, even after a delicious
turkey breast, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy meal my beautiful bride made
on Thursday. Now, my biggest challenge, like many of you, is the holiday treats.
My BB was busy making treats for the neighbors and I had to try them. Unlike
previous years, I kept my sampling to one treat each! Rest assured, they were
delicious! I'll have to add a little speed to my walk in the morning to work it out
LOL. Here's a shot of one of the tins Aubrey and I dropped off to a neighbor.
Work-wise, the whole team had Thursday and Friday off. I actually did my best to
enjoy time with the family so I only worked a few hours each day of the long
Case 3:21-cv-01418-EMC Document 273-2 Filed 01/09/25 Page 120 of 146
weekend. I'm writing this to you on Sunday, catching up before things get hectic in
the morning.
That's all for now! Make it a great week!

Who is included in the Settlement? You are included if you resided in California for any period of time
