Exercising Californian Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights
To exercise the Californian access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable request to us as described under Contact Information above. Only a Californian, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that a Californian has authorized to act on his or her behalf, may make a verifiable request related to his or her Personal Information. Parents of Californians may also make a verifiable request on behalf of their minor Californian child.
You may only make a verifiable request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable request 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.
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 request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
Verifiable Request Response Timing and Format
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to either 45 or 90 days, depending on complexity), 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 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 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.
Californian Personal Information Sales Opt Out and Opt In Rights
If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your Personal Information at any time. We do not sell the Personal Information of Californians we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization from either the Californian who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a Californian less than 13 years of age. Californians who are opted into Personal Information sales may opt out of future sales at any time. To exercise the right to opt out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by visiting the following Internet Web page link:
If you make an opt out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize Personal Information sales. You may opt back in to Personal Information sales at any time. You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt out rights. We will only use Personal Information provided in an opt out request to review and comply with the request.
Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
- Deny you goods or services.
- Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
- Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
