Verification process
Upon receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to determine you are
the same person about whom we have the information in our system. These
verification efforts require us to ask you to provide information so that we can match it
with information you have previously provided us. For instance, depending on the
type of request you submit, we may ask you to provide certain information so that we
can match the information you provide with the information we already have on file,
or we may contact you through a communication method (e.g., phone or email) that
you have previously provided to us. We may also use other verification methods as
the circumstances dictate.
We will only use personal information provided in your request to verify your identity
or authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will avoid requesting
additional information from you for the purposes of verification. However, if we cannot
verify your identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request
that you provide additional information for the purposes of verifying your identity and
for security or fraud-prevention purposes. We will delete such additionally provided
information as soon as we finish verifying you.
Other privacy rights
- You may object to the processing of your personal information.
- You may request correction of your personal data if it is incorrect or no longer
relevant, or ask to restrict the processing of the information.
- You can designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on
your behalf. We may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not
submit proof that they have been validly authorized to act on your behalf in
accordance with the CCPA.
- You may request to opt out from future selling or sharing of your personal
information to third parties. Upon receiving an opt-out request, we will act upon
the request as soon as feasibly possible, but no later than fifteen (15) days
from the date of the request submission.

like to hear from you.
