If you submit your request through an authorized agent, we may require you to provide your agent with written permission to do so and verify your identity. We may deny any request by an authorized agent that does not submit proof that the agent has been authorized by you to act on your behalf.

■ For requests to delete, we will verify your request 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 the consumer posed by unauthorized deletion.

- Response Timing and Format
We will respond to a verifiable request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt, and will notify you within those forty-five (45) days if we require more time to respond and the reasons for the additional time.

(Note that the law prohibits us from disclosing at any time a consumer’s Social Security number, driver’s license number or other government-issued identification number, financial account number, any health insurance or medical identification number, an Account password, security questions and answers, or any unique biometric data.) If we cannot comply with a request or a portion of the request, we will include the reasons in our response. If we deny your request on the basis that it is impossible or would involve a disproportionate effort, we will explain our reasons, such as the data is not in a searchable or readily accessible format, is maintained for only legal or compliance purposes, or is not sold or used for any commercial purpose and our inability to disclose it, delete or correct it would not impact you in any material manner. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable 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.
*Please note that in certain cases we may collect your personal information as a service provider (as opposed to a business, as those terms are defined in the CPRA) pursuant to a contract we have with a commercial client (the CPRA business) to provide a service. In such a case, we are required to collect and process your information only based on the instructions received from the business. Should you direct your requests to exercise your rights to us, we may be required to share your request with the business, who is the party responsible under the CPRA for receiving, verifying and responding to your requests, or we may direct you to make your request directly to the business.

In such a case, we are required to collect and process your information only based on the instructions received from the controller. Should you direct your requests to exercise your rights to us, we may be required to share your request with the controller, who is the party responsible under your applicable state privacy law for receiving, authenticating and responding to your requests.
