Your Rights and Choices
The CCPA provides
consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information.
This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those
rights.
Access to Specific Information 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:
Deletion Request Rights
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 providers 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 either:
Only you or a person
registered with the California Secretary of State that 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.
You may only make a
verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a
12-month period. The verifiable consumer request 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 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.
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. 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. 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 applicable. 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:
