Upon receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to determine you are the same person with whom we have the information in our system.

We may also use other verification methods as the circumstances dictate.

We will only use the personal information you provided to verify your identity or authority to make the request. We will try to avoid asking for more information for verification, but if we cannot verify your identity with the information we have, we may ask for additional details. This is for security and fraud prevention. We will delete this extra information as soon as we finish verifying you.

Other privacy rights

  • You may object to the processing of your personal information.
  • You may request correction of your personal data if it is incorrect or no longer relevant or ask to restrict the processing of the information.
  • You can designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on your behalf. We may deny a request from an authorized agent who does not submit proof that they have been validly authorized to act on your behalf in accordance with the CCPA.
  • You may request to opt out from future selling or sharing of your personal information to third parties. Upon receiving an opt-out request, we will act upon the request as soon as feasibly possible, but no later than fifteen (15) days from the date of the request submission.
