IMPORTANT PRIVACY RIGHTS AND CHOICES FOR CONSUMERS
The following describes your rights with respect to your personal information and explains how to exercise those rights.
Right to Know About Personal Information Collected or Disclosed and Data Portability Rights
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you, if applicable:
Right to Deletion
You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights
To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by completing the Webform or calling us at 1-800-276-2878. Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf (“authorized agent”), may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. To submit a request, we require that you explain your relationship with us, specify your request type, and provide your name, email address, country, home address, the details of your request, and your date of birth. We use this information to identify responsive records and to verify your identity. Your request should include sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. Please note that we may require additional information from you in order to verify your identity and process your request.
If you chose to use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, you must provide the agent written permission to do so and the agent must verify their own identity directly with us, in addition to the steps we would take if we processed your request directly. If the agent does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf, we may deny the request. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. In order to process your request, you or your authorized agent will need to provide us with the above information on the Webform or by calling us at 1-800-276-2878.
We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
We will confirm receipt of a verifiable consumer request and provide information about how we will process the request—except in instances where we have already granted or denied the request. Generally, we will respond to your request, free of charge, within 45 days of its receipt. However, if we require additional time to evaluate and fulfill your request, we will inform you of the reason and extension period (up to 90 days), in writing, within the initial 45-day period. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is unfounded, excessive, or repetitive. If we determine that your request warrants a reasonable fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
Personal Information Sales Opt-Out Rights
You have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). We do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age.
