Verifying Requests Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights


Only you or a person registered with your Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.  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. 


You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. If you make more requests in a year, we may require a fee to process your additional requests.  


The verifiable consumer request must:


  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative. 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, deletion or opt-out of sale request on your behalf (a) we may require you to provide the authorized agent written permission to do so, and (b) for access and deletion requests, we may require you to verify your own identity directly with us.


  • 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 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 personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.


If you make a request, we have 45 days to respond to you. 


We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.  This means we will not deny you service, charge different prices or rates, provide a different level of service, or suggest that you might receive a different price or level of quality for service.   Please know, if you ask us to delete your information or stop transferring your information, it may impact your experience using our Site.
