Note that if you make such a request, we must verify your request before we can respond. Whenever feasible, we will match at least two data points in the identifying information provided by the consumer to the personal data already maintained by us, but it may require more data points depending on the information requested. We will avoid collecting highly sensitive pieces of personal data, unless necessary. If we cannot verify your identity, we may need to deny your request. We will generally respond within 45 days; however, if we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension of time. A consumer may use an authorized agent to submit a request on the consumer’s behalf. When using an authorized agent, we require that you provide the authorized agent written permission to do so and verify their own identity and agent status with us. If you are placing a request on behalf of a household, we will need a verified request on behalf of each member of the household.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
If you wish to exercise any of your rights under this section, you may submit your request via any of these methods: You may write to us at the above address (located at the beginning of this Privacy Policy) or call us at (714) 799-9910.
