Therefore, we share information with our clients and courts when it is necessary to complete the claims administration process. We may disclose your personal information to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request.
2. Harm prevention. We may be required to share your information to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, or as otherwise required by law enforcement. Kroll Settlement Administration is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the FTC.
3. Providing our services. We engage contractors, service providers, and other third parties to support our business. These vendors are strictly for address verification, notification and funds distribution to the affected parties in claims administration settlements. Service providers are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.

Kroll Settlement Administration has the responsibility for the processing of personal information it receives under the Privacy Shield and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf. Kroll Settlement Administration shall remain liable under the Principles if its agent processes such personal information in a manner inconsistent with the Principles, unless the organization proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

Individuals located in the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland

At Kroll Settlement Administration, we perform claims administration services on behalf of our clients as a data processor. This means that throughout the claims administration process, the client retains control over personal information collected and processed. If you are in the EEA or Switzerland, you also have additional rights with regards to the personal information collected by Kroll Settlement Administration:

1. Request access to your personal information. This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
2. Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
3. Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.
4. Object to processing of your personal data, for example, if your personal information is being processed on the basis of legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your situation which makes you want to object to processing on this basis.
5. Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal data about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
6. Request the transfer of your personal data to another party (right to data portability).

If you want to exercise any of the above rights, please email our privacy team at [email protected]. There are certain situations where your personal information rights may be limited, or we may be unable to fulfill your request to effectuate your personal information rights. If such a limitation is applicable to your specific request, we will provide you with detailed information about such limitations in response to your request. Individuals located in the EEA with inquiries or complaints in relation to the information provided should first contact us at:

If you have an unresolved privacy or data use concern that we have not addressed satisfactorily, please contact our U.S.-based third-party dispute resolution provider (free of charge) at www.jamsadr.com. You may consult with the data protection authority in your country.
