Only You, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that You authorize to act on Your behalf, may make a verifiable request related to Your personal information.
An authorized agent may submit a request on Your behalf if You provide the agent with written permission signed by You. We may require You to verify Your own identity directly with Us or to directly confirm with Us that You provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request, except that this additional verification is not required where the authorized agent provides proof of power of attorney granted pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4121 and 4130.
Your request to Us must:
- Provide sufficient information that allows Us to reasonably verify You are the person about whom We collected personal information or an authorized representative;
- Describe Your request with sufficient detail that allows Us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it; and
- Do not provide social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, account numbers, credit or debit card numbers, medical information, or health information with requests.
We cannot respond to Your request or provide You with the required information if We cannot:
- Verify Your identity or authority to make the request; and
- Confirm that the personal information relates to You.
If requests are unclear or submitted through means other than as outlined above, we will provide the California consumer with specific directions on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies. If we cannot verify the identity of the requestor, we may deny the request.
We will disclose and deliver the required information free of charge within 45 days of receiving Your verifiable request. The time period to provide the required information may be extended once by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary and with prior notice.
Any disclosures We provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable request’s receipt.
For data portability requests, We will select a format to provide Your personal information that is readily usable and should allow You to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
As defined in the CCPA/CPRA, “sell” and “sale” mean selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a Consumer’s personal information by the Business to a third party for valuable consideration. “Share” and “sharing” mean disclosing or making personal information available to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising, whether or not for monetary benefit or other valuable consideration. This means that We may have received some kind of benefit in return for disclosing personal information, but not necessarily a monetary benefit.
We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. We may allow Service Providers to use Your personal information for the business purposes described in Our Privacy Policy, for activities such as advertising (including cross-context behavioral advertising), marketing, and analytics, and these activities may be deemed a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA.
5.10 Opt-Out Preference Signals
We process opt-out preference signals as valid requests to opt-out of the sale or sharing of Your personal information for the browser or Device (and, where the signal is linkable to Your Account) from which the signal is sent. If You enable an opt-out preference signal, You do not need to submit a separate opt-out request through the methods described below for that browser or Device. We do not charge a fee, degrade Your experience with the Service, or require additional information beyond what is necessary to process an opt-out preference signal.
