To exercise the CCPA rights described above, please submit a request to us by either:

Only you, or your authorized agent, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information including your full name, residence address, telephone number, email address and relationship to that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person as to whom we collected personal information or to verify your authorized agent.
  • Provide a signed declaration under penalty of perjury regarding your identity in the event you request deletion of information or a copy of the specific information we have collected about you.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We will acknowledge receipt of your request within 10 days and will endeavor to respond within forty-five days of receipt of your request, but if we require more time (up to an additional forty-five days) we will notify you of our need for additional time. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify as required by law your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

Using an Authorized Agent. You may submit a request through someone holding a formal Power of Attorney. Otherwise, you may submit a request using an authorized agent only if (1) the person is registered with the Secretary of State to do business in California, (2) you provide the authorized agent with signed written permission to make a request, (3) you verify directly with us that you have authorize the person to make the request on your behalf, (4) you verify your own identity directly with us and (5) your agent provides us with proof that they are so authorized. We will require the agent to submit proof to us that they have been authorized to make requests on your behalf.

Any disclosures we provide will cover only the 12-month period preceding our receipt of the verifiable consumer request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data access requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

NON-DISCRIMINATION

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless the CCPA permits, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
