Dear [Redacted],
We are contacting you regarding a mailing incident reported to Zenith American Solutions (“Zenith”), the administrative office for the Sound Health and Wellness Trust (the “Trust”). You are receiving this letter because your personal information may have been potentially exposed to others.
What Happened?
On June 24, 2022, Zenith sent you a mailing reminding you to complete your Personal Health Assessment or Health Profile to enroll in the 2023 Health Reimbursement Account (“HRA”). On June 28, 2022, Zenith was notified that this mailing contained your full social security number (“SSN”) as part of the mailing label. The file used to prepare the mailing labels mistakenly included your SSN. Our policy is to minimize the information contained in such files to include only the information necessary for the purpose. In this instance, your SSN was not necessary and its inclusion failed to meet the standards of our policy.
What Information Was Involved?
Your full name, address, SSN, unique ID number and the fact that you are enrolled for coverage through the Trust were included on the mailing label.
What We are Doing.
The non-compliance with our set policy standards has been addressed with our staff. Effectively immediately, we have also implemented additional quality control measures to prevent this from occurring in the future.
Although we have no indication that the information has or will be acquired by another party, as a precautionary measure, we are offering you credit monitoring and ID protection services for 24 months, at no cost to you.
