    1. 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 contacting us through the means listed in the Contact page on this website.

    Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information.

    You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

    1. Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative, which may include:
    2. Your name
    3. Address
    4. Additional information depending upon the type of request and the sensitivity of the information.
    5. Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
    6. 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. However, we will consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to Personal Information associated with that specific account, provided the functionality is available.

    We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

    1. Response Timing and Format

    We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

    If you have an account with us, we may deliver our written response to that account, provided that such functionality is available. If you do not have an account with us, or the functionality is not available for your account 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.

    1. Do Not Sell My Personal Information

    You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We do not sell your Personal Information to third parties for marketing purposes. We will only use Personal Information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request. However, you may change your mind and opt back in to usage of your Personal Information at any time. If you wish to opt-out, please contact us at our email address as set forth below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any request to delete your Personal Information shall be subject to Section B above.

    • Charge you different prices or rates for products or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
