YOUR RIGHT TO KNOW

You have the right to request any of the following:

  • the categories of personal information we have collected about you
  • the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected
  • the business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information
  • the categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal information
  • the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you

You can do this through a verified consumer request. That process is described below in the section, “Submitting a Verified Consumer Request.”

YOUR RIGHT TO REQUEST CORRECTION OF INACCURATE PERSONAL INFORMATION

You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information maintained by us. We may request documentation from you to determine the accuracy of the information. If you provide us documentation either upon our request or through your own initiative, that documentation will only be used for the purpose of correcting your personal information and complying with our recordkeeping requirements. We may deny your request if we have previously denied your same request to correct an alleged inaccuracy in the past six (6) months unless you provide new or additional documentation that the information at issue is inaccurate.

As an alternative to correction, we may delete the inaccurate information if it does not negatively impact you or if you consent to this deletion. We reserve the right to deny this request if allowed under law, or if we determine that the contested information is more likely than not accurate, based on the totality of circumstances. You can submit a correction request through a verified consumer request. That process is described below in the section, “Submitting a Verified Consumer Request.”

YOUR RIGHT TO REQUEST DELETION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information collected by us, subject to certain exceptions. You can do this through a verified consumer request. That process is described below in the section, “Submitting a Verified Consumer Request.”

There may be scenarios where we deny your deletion request. If that occurs, we will provide you with an explanation as to why we could not delete all or some of your personal information.

SUBMITTING A VERIFIED CONSUMER REQUEST

You have the right to submit verified consumer requests to know information, to correct information, or for deletion.

The response to a request to know will provide all personal information collected and maintained about you in accordance with the law, unless doing so proves impossible or would involve disproportionate effort. Please note that we are not required to provide personal information to you more than twice in a 12-month period. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request. 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 can submit a verified consumer request through our webform or by calling our toll-free number at 1-800-873-4898. In order to verify your identity, we will ask you to provide us with information we can match with our own records. If you call us, you will be asked to provide the same information requested in the webform. If you submit a request that is not through one of these designated methods or is deficient in some manner unrelated to verification, we will provide you with information on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies. Once we receive your verifiable consumer request, we will confirm receipt of the request within 10 business days describing our verification process. We will respond to your request within 45 calendar days, if we are able to verify your identity. Requests for deletion will require a separate confirmation that you want your information deleted.

Requests to Know or Delete for Child Under the Age of 13: We do not knowingly collect information of minors under the age of 13.

USING AN AUTHORIZED AGENT TO SUBMIT A REQUET

Only you, a person registered with the California Secretary of State, or a person you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. If you use an authorized agent, you may provide a power of attorney executed pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465. If a power of attorney that meets those provisions is not submitted, you will be required to verify your identity directly with us, and directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request here.

YOUR RIGHT TO NON-DISCRIMINATION FOR THE EXCERCISE OF A PRIVACY RIGHT

We will not discriminate or retaliate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.

CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY NOTICE

We reserve the right to amend this privacy notice at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy notice, we will post the updated notice on this page and update the notice’s effective date.
