July 30, 2021, you could be entitled to benefits, including a cash 
payment, under a class action settlement.

a lawyer.

from this Settlement. To file a Claim Form, click here

. YOUR CLAIM NUMBER IS: 4D4AA7376C

What Is This Litigation About? A settlement has been reached with Zoom 
Video Communications, Inc. ("Zoom") relating to alleged privacy and 
security issues with the Zoom Meetings Application ("App"). Plaintiffs 
allege that Zoom: (i) shared certain information with third parties, 
(ii) should have done more to prevent unwanted meeting disruptions by 
third parties, (iii) advertised its Zoom Meetings App as being encrypted 
"end-to-end" when Plaintiffs contend it was not at that time, and (iv) 
that the alleged conduct violated California state and federal laws. 
Zoom denies these allegations. The Court has not decided who is right.

Who Is Included in the Proposed Settlement? A ll Persons in the United 
States who have registered, used, opened, or downloaded the Zoom 
Meetings App, except for (i) all Persons who have only registered, used, 
opened, or downloaded the Zoom Meetings App through an Enterprise-Level 
Account or Zoom for Government Account, (ii) Zoom and its officers and 
directors; and (iii) the Judge or Magistrate Judge to whom the action is 
assigned and, any member of those Judges' staffs or immediate family 
members. Please see the Long Form Notice for more details, available at 
www.ZoomMeetingsClassAction.com

https://www.zoommeetingsclassaction.com/Home/Documents

.

What Relief Does the Settlement Provide? The Settlement provides money 
to Class Members who submit a Claim Form postmarked or submitted on 
www.ZoomMeetingsClassAction.com

https://www.zoommeetingsclassaction.com/Home/SubmitClaim

by March 5, 2022 . Without admitting liability, the Settlement also 
requires Zoom to make certain changes to its policies and practices that 
will benefit Class Members. Zoom will establish an $85 million 
Settlement Fund. After deducting Court-approved attorneys' fees (up to 
$21,250,000) and expenses (up to $200,000), Service Payments for the 
Plaintiffs, and the costs of settlement notice and administration from 
the $85 million Settlement Fund, the remaining funds will be made 
available, if the Settlement is approved, to pay Class Members' valid 
claims. Settlement Class members can submit one of the following types 
of claims:

Paid Subscription Claim: If you are a Class Member who paid for a Zoom 
Meetings App subscription, between March 30, 2016 and July 30, 2021, you 
are eligible to file a claim for $25 or 15% of the money you paid to 
Zoom for the core subscription (i.e., not including optional add on 
features/support that customers may add to their subscriptions ) during 
that time, whichever is greater. For example, if you spent $75 on a Zoom 
Meetings App subscription during the relevant time period, 15% of $75 is 
$11.25. Because $11.25 is less than $25, your claim will be treated as a 
claim for $25.

User Claim: If you are not eligible for a Paid Subscription Claim and 
you registered, used, opened, or downloaded the Zoom Meeting App between 
March 30, 2016 and July 30, 2021 and you are not eligible to submit a 
Paid Subscription Claim, you are eligible to file a claim for $15.

Please note that these payment amounts may be reduced depending on the 
number of valid claims. Final payment amounts will be calculated and 
distributed based on the total number of Class Members who submit valid 
claims

This is only a notice of what to expect. Nothing will happen unless the 
Court approves the Settlement.

How Do I Get a Payment? You must submit your claim online at

Your Other Options: If you do nothing, your rights will be affected, and 
you won't get a payment. If you file a Claim Form, object to the 
Settlement or do nothing, you are choosing to stay in the Settlement 
Class. You will be legally bound by all orders of the Court and you will 
not be able to start, continue or be part of any other lawsuit against 
Zoom about the allegations of the case. If you don't want to be legally 
bound by the Settlement or receive any benefits from it, you must 
exclude yourself by March 5, 2022 . If you do not exclude yourself, you 
may object to the Settlement by March 5, 2022 .
