Verita Global, LLC (together with its affiliates, “Verita”) processes personal information pursuant to service agreements we have in place with our clients who have retained us to provide a variety of services on their behalf, including but not limited to, class action administration, corporate restructurings, state insolvency proceedings, and litigation matters. The personal information that you or our clients provide to us is used to perform the various services that are described in each service agreement.
What information do we obtain about you, how do we obtain it and what do we use it for?
Verita collects personal information through our websites to enable us to provide our on-line services to our clients. When we say personal information, we mean information that is about you or that can help identify you. You may be asked to provide personal information such as your name, address, phone number, Social Security number, date of birth, employee identification number, geolocation data, e-mail address, and bank account details. We may also collect your IP address.
We use Social Security numbers for many purposes, including to verify your identity and to comply with federal and state laws such as tax laws and anti-money-laundering laws. We also may receive personal information about you from a third party authorized by you, such as a class action defendant or another intermediary acting on your behalf. We may also receive personal information about you from third parties in connection with verification of your identity and services provided to our clients.
Each site visitor (“User”) is provided with a dedicated website that houses all pertinent information regarding a specific legal case. Verita typically provides its services through websites that Verita creates, configures, and hosts on behalf of the client. Verita operates its websites and collects usage data about Users at the direction of, and in accordance with, the instructions of Verita’s clients.
Verita’s arrangements with its clients may require Verita to provide all User information in Verita’s possession, including a User’s personal information, directly to the client with which the User is associated (i.e., the User’s employer). If a User corresponds with Verita, Verita may keep a record of that correspondence. Verita does not transfer any personal User information to any third party (other than Verita’s client) unless Verita is authorized to do so by the client with which the User is associated, in connection with the services that Verita provides to its client, or where it is required to do so by applicable law.
We may share your information with Verita-affiliated companies and with other service providers as necessary. All such parties will be obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of your personal information and, except as may be required by law or governmental regulation, will be prohibited from further disclosing the information except in furtherance of the purposes for which it was disclosed, in which case such further disclosure will be subject to the same confidentiality and security obligations. We will not disclose your personal information to anyone outside these parties or sell to any parties for unsolicited marketing purposes. At your direction, we may share your information with third parties on a referral basis in connection with products and/or services not offered by Verita.
In accordance with this Privacy Statement, personal information you provide on this site is processed and stored in the United States and may be transferred to, processed, and stored in countries outside the United States by Verita, its affiliates, and service providers. We may also disclose your personal information to overseas entities who assist us in supplying our services including through data storage solutions, back-up services, and IT support. We may also disclose your personal information to other overseas affiliates and service providers who assist us in supplying our services or who perform functions on our behalf, all in accordance with this Privacy Statement.
Data Collection Technologies / Method Server Logs
In order to improve the quality of our website and services, we may from time to time send you what is known as a “cookie” as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. A cookie is a piece of text that a website transfers to your computer’s hard drive. This cookie does not allow Verita access to your hard drive, but it assists in identifying, for example, whether you have visited our website on a previous occasion. Only the site that posted the cookie can read it.
You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our website. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our website.
Please note that the websites to which this site may be linked may also make use of their own cookies to collect information from you. Most browsers will automatically accept a cookie, but it may be possible to set your browser to notify you prior to a cookie being sent at which point you can accept or reject it.
Additionally, we may collect information through the use of pixels, device IDs, and similar technologies. A pixel is a line of code that is used by a website or third party to assign online activities to a computer or browser. The use of a pixel allows websites and us to record, for example, that a user has visited a particular website. Additional information from an earlier period or interaction may be included in the pixel. Currently, Verita does not respond to “Do Not Track” signals from browsers.
If you access an online service maintained by Verita or one of its affiliates, we may use a tool called “Google Analytics” which transmits website traffic data to Google servers in the United States. Google Analytics does not identify individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. We use the information we get from Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and webpage usage. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics if you disable or refuse the cookie, disable JavaScript, or use the opt-out service provided by Google.
We may share the information we collect via cookies and Google Analytics with our related entities including entities located outside of the United States who assist us in supplying our services including through data storage solutions, back-up services and IT support. We may also disclose it to others if required to do so by law.
Third Party Collection of Personal Information
Links to third party websites may be provided on this site for informational or other purposes. Verita is not responsible for any personal information you may choose to submit to a third party website accessed from this site.
Security Precautions to Protect Personal Information
We employ appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information and to ensure that it is not accessed by unauthorized persons. Information is encrypted for transfer wherever this is possible. Our security procedures may require you to provide proof of identification before we will release personal information to you. This proof may be in addition to any password required to gain access to our online service. Multiple incorrect attempts or invalidation will result in a lockout from the information. We undergo periodic reviews of our security policies and procedures to help ensure that our systems are secure and protected.
Verita will never initiate an email to you requesting your personal information. You should never divulge your identification numbers, username, or password to anyone else. You should also never write your password down or store it on your computer and you should make sure you change it regularly. If you have further questions about Identity Theft, you may find the US Federal Trade Commission website helpful.

At the direction of, and in accordance with the instructions of Verita’s clients, Verita allows Users who make reasonable requests to access their personal information in Verita’s possession and to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate information. Users who have questions about personal information on file with Verita may, if the client so provides, access the client website to make such corrections or may contact Verita at the address below. If you find any inaccuracies we will delete these or correct them promptly, subject to our policies and procedures. Communication with you may be impeded if the information we hold is inadequate or inaccurate.
