Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act
on your behalf, may make a consumer request related to your personal information. You may
also make a consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
To submit a request, you must:
- Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person
about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative,
including your full name, date of birth, address, email address, and phone number; and
- Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot
verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information
relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an
account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer
request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.
You may only make a consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month
period.
Response Timing and Format
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we
require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in
writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any
disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer
request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply
with a request, if any.
For data portability 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
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.
Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted
by the CCPA, 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.
