Rights to Access to Specific Personal Information You have the right under the CCPA to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. If you submit a verifiable request for any of the following data, consistent with the CCPA, we will disclose the following:
  • The categories of personal information we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.

Right to Request Deletion You also may have the right to request that we delete your personal information that we have collected from you and retained. Unless one of the exceptions set forth in the CCPA applies, once we confirm your verifiable request, we will delete your personal information and direct our service providers to do the same. How to Submit a Request. To submit an access or deletion request, you must submit a verifiable request to us using one of the contact means identified in the How To Contact Us section below.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable request for your personal information. You may only submit a request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.

Verifying Requests. To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your personal information or complying with your request. In addition, if you ask us to provide you with specific pieces of personal information, we will require you to sign a declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request. If you designate an authorized agent to make an access or deletion request on your behalf, we may require you to provide the authorized agent written permission to do so and verify your own identity directly with us. Non-Discrimination. If you choose to exercise any of your rights under the CCPA, you have the right to not receive discriminatory treatment by us. Updates to This Statement.
