For more information on how you or your Authorized Agent can exercise your rights, please see Exercising Your CPRA Privacy Rights.
Exercising Your CPRA Privacy Rights
To exercise the rights described above, please submit a request (a “Consumer Request”) to us by either:
If you (or your Authorized Agent) submit a Consumer Request to delete your information online, we will use a two-step process in order to confirm that you want your Personal Information deleted. This process may include verifying your request through your email address on record, calling you on your phone number on record (which may include an automated dialer), sending you a text message and requesting that you text us a confirmation, sending you a confirmation through US mail. By making a Consumer Request, you consent to us contacting you in one or more of these ways.
If you fail to make your Consumer Request in accordance with the ways described above, we may either treat your request as if it had been submitted with our methods described above or provide you with information on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies with your request.
Only you, or your Authorized Agent that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a Consumer Request related to your Personal Information. To designate an Authorized Agent, see Authorized Agents below.
All Consumer Requests must:
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 which Personal Information relates to you or the individual for whom you are making the request as their Authorized Agent.
Making a Consumer Request does not require you to create an account with us.
We will only use Personal Information provided in a Consumer Request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
Authorized Agents
You may authorize your agent to exercise your rights under the CPRA on your behalf by registering your agent with the California Secretary of State or by providing them with power of attorney to exercise your rights in accordance with applicable laws (an “Authorized Agent”). If you authorize an Agent, we may request that your Authorized Agent submit proof of identity and that they have been authorized exercise your rights on your behalf. We may deny a request from your Authorized Agent to exercise your rights on your behalf if they fail to submit adequate proof of identity or adequate proof that they have the authority to exercise your rights.
Response Timing and Format
We will confirm our receipt of your Consumer Request within ten (10) business days of its receipt. We will generally process these requests within forty-five (45) calendar days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to an additional 45 calendar days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
In response to a Right to Know or Data Portability Consumer Request, we will provide you with all relevant information we have collected or maintained about you on or after January 1, 2022, unless an exception applies. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For Data Portability Consumer Request, 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 Consumer Request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. We reserve the right to consider more than two (2) total Right to Know or Data Portability Consumer Requests (or combination of the two) in a twelve (12) month period to be repetitive and/or excessive and require a fee. If we determine that your Consumer Request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
We do not collect any Sensitive Personal Information as defined under the CPRA.
We delete or anonymize your Personal Information when no longer required for purpose or purposes for which we collected it.
In general, we store your Personal Information for the duration of the usage or contractual relationship via the Website plus a period of [15 days] for security purposes
