`
`and Isela Carmean, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, by appointed interim
`
`lead class counsel, respectfully move this Court, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65,
`
`for an order preliminarily enjoining Defendants Clearview AI, Inc. (“Clearview”); Hoan Ton-That;
`
`and Richard Schwartz (collectively, “Defendants”) from:
`
`(a)
`
`Continuing to possess, use and store the unlawfully collected biometric identifiers
`and biometric information (collectively, “Biometric Data”) of Illinois residents;
`
`
`(b) Collecting, capturing or obtaining Illinois residents’ Biometric Data without first
`providing the notice and obtaining the releases required by Illinois’ Biometric
`Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”), 740 ILCS 14/1, et seq.;
`
`
`(c)
`
`Selling, trading leasing or otherwise profiting from Illinois residents’ Biometric
`Data; and
`
`
`(d) Distributing, redistributing or disseminating Illinois residents’ Biometric Data
`without obtaining the consent required by BIPA.

`
`Any preliminary injunctive relief should also require Defendants to:
`

`Store, transmit and protect from disclosure all Biometric Data of Illinois residents:
`(i) using the reasonable standard of care within Defendant Clearview’s industry;
`and (ii) in a manner that is the same as or more protective than the manner in which

`
`the Clearview Defendants store, transmit and protect other confidential and
`sensitive information; and
`
`
`(b) Develop and publish on Defendant Clearview’s website a written policy, made
`available to the public, that establishes a retention schedule and guidelines for
`permanently destroying Illinois residents’ Biometric Data when the initial purpose
`for collecting or obtaining such Biometrics has been satisfied or within three years
`of the Illinois resident’s last interaction with the private entity, whichever occurs
`first.
`
`
`The injunctive relief requested in this motion is collectively referred to as the “Injunctive Relief.”
`
`Plaintiffs further request the appointment of a Special Master to assist with the implementation of
`
`any Injunctive Relief and to verify Defendants’ compliance with any injunction order.
`
`
`
`WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs David Mutnick, Mario Calderon, Jennifer Rocio, Anthony Hall
`
`and Isela Carmean, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, respectfully request
`
`that the Court enter an order granting them the requested Injunctive Relief. Plaintiffs further
`
`request the appointment of a Special Master to assist with the implementation of any Injunctive
`
`Relief and to verify Defendants’ compliance with any injunction order. Plaintiffs also request that
`
`the Court grant them any further relief it deems just and proper.
