14. HOW TO SUBMIT REQUEST

If you wish to submit a request to exercise any of your rights above, you or your authorized agent may contact us by phone at (800) 435-0705 or access and submit your request using our Privacy Policy Submission Form.

 

For everyone’s protection, we must verify your identity for all access and deletion requests. To do so, we may ask you to provide personal identifiers that we can match against Personal Information we already have on file for you. If we cannot verify your identity based on the information provided, we may request additional information from you, which we will only use to verify your identity, and for security or fraud-prevention purposes. We will use the Personal Information you provide for verification purposes only for the purpose of verification. If you are a California resident, you may authorize an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf. For your protection, all agent requests will be subject to verification procedures.

 

We respond to privacy rights requests in accordance with our legal obligations. Please note that not all privacy rights may be available to you depending on your state of residence. We strive to comply with reasonable requests even when we are not legally required to do so. We may decline a privacy rights request where we are unable to verify your identity, or when an exemption applies, in which case will be explained in our response.
