You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information during the 12-month period preceding your request. Once we receive and verify your request, we will disclose to you the information that you request and we are obligated to provide under the CCPA, which may include:
You have the right to request that we delete some or all of the personal information that we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and verify your request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to whom we have furnished that information to also delete) your personal information from our (and their) records.

Generally, we will not request additional information from you for purposes of verification. If, however, we cannot verify you identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request additional information from you, which shall only be used for the purposes of verifying you identity and seeking to exercise you rights under the CCPA, and for security or fraud-prevention purposes. We will delete any new personal information collected for the purposes of verification as soon as practical after processing your request, except as required to comply with the CCPA.
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 may require authentication that is reasonable in light of the nature of the personal information requested and will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
Please note that we may continue to share your personal information with our affiliates and service providers for essential purposes described above and other such circumstances allowed under the CCPA. Opting out of the sale of personal information through the “Do Not Sell My Personal information” link does not mean that you will stop seeing ads, including some interest-based ads. To learn more about interest-based advertising across sites and additional opt-out choices, please see our general Privacy Policy.
If you use an authorized agent to submit a request to know or a request to delete, we may require that you provide the authorized agent written permission and require the authorized agent to verify its own identity with us.
A power of attorney to your authorized agent is an acceptable form of authorization.
We may deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf.
When you submit a request to delete, or a request to know, we verify your request by taking the following steps:
When verifying a request, we consider the following factors:
When you request to know categories of personal information, we verify your identity to a reasonable degree of certainty.
When you request to delete, we verify your identity to a reasonable degree or a reasonably high degree of certainty depending on the sensitivity of the personal information and the risk of harm to you posed by unauthorized deletion.
In all cases, we verify by matching the identifying information provided with the request to the personal information of the consumer already maintained by us.
Upon receiving a request to know or a request to delete, we will confirm receipt of the request within 15 days and provide information about how we will process the request.
We strive 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. 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 receipt of the verifiable consumer request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For these 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.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA. For example, we will not:
We reserve the right to amend this privacy notice at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy notice (which will be updated at least once every 12 months), we will notify you through a notice on this page: Privacy Policy.
