IF YOU AND/OR YOUR MINOR CHILD USED THE TIKTOK AND/OR MUSICAL.LY APPLICATION,
YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO A PAYMENT FROM A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT.

If you live in Illinois and used the TikTok app in Illinois to create videos,
you may be entitled to up to 6x the Payment.

 * Plaintiffs filed a class action complaint alleging that TikTok, Inc. f/k/a
   Musical.ly, Inc; ByteDance, Inc.; Musical.ly n/k/a TikTok, Ltd. and Beijing
   ByteDance Technology Co. Ltd. (collectively, the “Defendants”), violated
   federal and state law by collecting and using, without sufficient notice and
   consent, Plaintiffs’ personal data in connection with their use of the TikTok
   - Make Your Day video-sharing application (and/or its predecessor app
   Musical.ly) distributed in the U.S. (the “App.”).
 * Defendants deny these allegations and other material allegations in the
   operative complaint.
 * The Settlement1 that has been reached in this case affects the following
   persons (collectively the “Settlement Class”):
   * Nationwide Class: All persons who reside in the United States who used the
     App prior to September 30, 2021.
   * Illinois Subclass: All persons who reside in the State of Illinois and used
     the App in the State of Illinois to create videos prior to September 30,
     2021.
 * The Settlement, if approved, would provide $92,000,000 to pay the members of
   the Settlement Class who file valid claims, as well as to pay Plaintiffs’
   attorneys’ fees, costs, a service award for the named plaintiffs, and the
   administrative costs of the settlement. It would also provide injunctive
   relief to protect App users’ information. The Settlement avoids the further
   cost and risk associated with continuing the lawsuits; it pays money to those
   persons whose rights Plaintiffs contend were violated; and it releases
   Defendants from further liability.
 * You may submit a claim on your own behalf or on behalf of your minor child.
 * Your legal rights are affected whether you act or don't act. Read the notice
   carefully.
