Exercising Your Rights

To exercise your rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by:

We may ask you to provide information that will enable us to verify your identity in order to comply with your data subject request. In particular, when a California or Connecticut consumer authorizes an agent to make a request on their behalf, we may require the agent to provide proof of signed permission from the consumer to submit the request, or we may require the consumer to verify their own identity to us or confirm with us that they provided the agent with permission to submit the request. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. In some instances, we may decline to honor your request if an exception applies under applicable law. We will respond to your request consistent with applicable law.

The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information.
  • 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 your 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 will only use the Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

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 we reserve the right to either refuse to act on your request or charge you a reasonable fee to complete your request if it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.

You may have a right to appeal a decision we make relating to requests to exercise your rights under applicable local law. If your request is denied or if we do not take action on your request, we will inform you in writing of the reasons for not taking action, as well as provide an explanation of any rights you have to appeal the decision.

Changes to this Supplemental Notice

We reserve the right to amend this Supplemental Notice at our discretion at any time. When we make changes to this Supplemental Notice, we will post the updated Notice on our website.
