Only California residents, or someone legally authorized to act on their behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to a California resident's personal information. A California resident may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of his/her minor child. The verifiable consumer request must:
Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that the California resident is the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
Describe the request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide a California resident with personal information if we cannot verify his/her identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to that California resident.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not require a California resident to create an account with us, but we may require authentication of the consumer that is reasonable in light of the nature of the personal information requested.
Response Timing and Format We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (for a maximum total of 90 days), we will notify the California resident. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of a verifiable consumer request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide the California resident personal information that is readily useable and should allow him/her to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to a California resident's verifiable consumer request unless the request is excessive or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell the California resident why we made that decision and provide him/her with a cost estimate before completing the request. Alternatively, we may decline to respond to the request and notify the California resident of our reason for doing so.
Non-Discrimination We will not discriminate against a California resident for exercising any of his/her CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
