How You Can Submit A Verifiable Consumer Request for Access to and/or Deletion of Your Personal Information 

To protect your information, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request. In some cases we may need to collect additional information to verify your identity, such as a government issued ID.

Under the CCPA, you may exercise these rights yourself or you may designate an authorized agent to make these requests on your behalf. We will use reasonable efforts to verify your identity, as well as the identity of your authorized agent to ensure that your agent has been properly authorized by you to request information on your behalf.

If we cannot verify your identity or your authorized agent’s identity, we cannot fulfill your request.
