In re TD AMERITRADE Account Holder Litigation, Case No. C 07 2852 VRW
WHAT THIS SETTLEMENT IS ABOUT: These lawsuits were filed in the U. S. District Court, Northern California District, San Francisco Division, against TD AMERITRADE, Inc., et al. (the "Company" or "Defendant") on behalf of the Settlement Class. The amended consolidated complaint ("Complaint") alleges that an unauthorized third party acquired email addresses of the Company's account holders that were then used by spammers to send unsolicited commercial emails promoting certain stocks. The Complaint seeks monetary and injunctive relief for any alleged injuries arising from the data breach, including alleged receipt of spam and identity theft, if it were to occur. Recovery is sought based upon alleged violation of various state and federal laws and alleged breach of fiduciary duty. The Company denies any liability in the matter. To resolve this matter without the expense and uncertainties of litigation, the Parties have reached a proposed settlement. This settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing by any Party.
If approved, the proposed settlement will provide various benefits to the Settlement Class, including a free one-year subscription or a one-year renewal for an anti-spam Internet security software product; a warning on the Company's Web site concerning stock-touting spam; additional measures to protect the privacy of customer information; an independent consultant to conduct an additional analysis as to whether the personal information of any member of the Settlement Class has been subject to organized misuse relating to identity theft as the result of unauthorized access to certain data; customer assistance and voluntary dispute resolution procedures if instances of organized misuse of information are identified; and general customer support relating to the benefits of the settlement and questions concerning spam and identity theft. The consultant conducted four analyses since August 2007 and found no evidence of identity theft resulting from the data breach. The fourth analysis was completed on June 10, 2008. The Company will also donate $55,000 to two organizations, selected by the Parties, which support protecting the privacy of customer personal information. In return for these benefits, the lawsuits will be dismissed and members of the Settlement Class that do not exclude themselves from this settlement according to the procedures described below will be deemed to have released all claims against the Company relating to the unauthorized acquisition of email addresses and any other customer information and/or the receipt of spam emails, except that settlement class members will not release individual claims, if any, for damages caused by identity theft.
