  • the categories of personal information we have collected about you

You can do this through a verified consumer request. That process is described below in the section, “Submitting a Verified Consumer Request.” 

Your Right to Request Correction of Inaccurate Personal Information

You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information maintained by us. We may request documentation from you to determine the accuracy of the information maintained by us. If you provide us documentation either upon our request or through your own initiative, that documentation will only be used or maintained by us for the purpose of correcting your personal information and complying with our recordkeeping requirements under CCPA. We may deny your request if we have previously denied your same request to correct an alleged inaccuracy in the past six (6) months, unless you provide new or additional documentation that the information at issue is inaccurate. 

As an alternative to correction, we may delete the inaccurate information if it does not negatively impact you or if you consent to this deletion. We reserve the right to deny this request if allowed under law, or if we determine that the contested information is more likely than not accurate, based on the totality of circumstances. You can submit a correction request through a verified consumer request. That process is described below in the section, “Submitting a Verified Consumer Request.”  

Your Right to Request Deletion of Your Personal Information 

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information collected by us, subject to certain exceptions. You can do this through a verified consumer request. That process is described below in the section, “Submitting a Verified Consumer Request.”  

There may be scenarios where we deny your deletion request. If that occurs, we will provide you with an explanation as to why we could not delete all or some of your personal information. 

Submitting a Verified Consumer Request 

You have the right to submit verified consumer requests to know information, to correct information, or for deletion.  

You can submit a request through our webform. Your request will be verified using information you provide as described on the web form. Your request will be verified by matching the information you provide to information that we have collected. 

If you submit a request that is not through one of these designated methods or is deficient in some manner unrelated to verification, we will provide you with information on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies.    

Please note that we are not required to provide personal information to you more than twice in a 12-month period.  We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. 

Once we receive your verifiable consumer request, we will confirm receipt of the request within 10 business days describing our verification process. We will respond to your request within 45 calendar days, if we are able to verify your identity. Requests for deletion will require a separate confirmation that you want your information deleted. 

Requests to Know or Delete for Child Under the Age of 13: We do not knowingly collect information of minors under the age of 13. 

Using an Authorized Agent to Submit a Request 

Only you, or a natural person or a business entity registered with the Secretary of State to conduct business in California that you have authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information or a request to opt-out of sale or sharing. If you use an authorized agent, you may provide a power of attorney executed pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465. If a power of attorney that meets those provisions is not submitted, you will be required to provide the authorized agent signed permission to submit a request, verify your identity directly with us, and directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.  

If you’re an authorized agent making a request, you must submit a verified consumer request via the webform and:
