Requests to Exercise Rights
If you seek to exercise your rights to access, delete, opt-out, amend/rectify, or object/restrict/withdrawal consent, you can reach us at:
Designated Email Address: [email protected].
The methods for request will take two (2) steps: one to request the exercise of your rights and the other to verify your identity/request.
We will respond to a request within ten (10) days and provide information on how it will be processed. We will respond to a request within forty-five (45) days that begins on the day the request was made. Note: It may take up to an additional forty-five (45) days to respond to a request for a maximum of ninety (90) days provided we notify you with an explanation within the initial forty-five (45) days to the reason why it is taking longer to fulfill the request.
As part of the request, we need to verify your identity. Failure to verify identity may result in a denial of the request. We will notify you of the failure to verify the request and treat the request accordingly.
Once a request has been approved, we will honor the request to the best of our ability. The Record of request will be maintained for two (2) years.
If fulfilling a request would reveal Personal Information about another or if you ask us to delete information that is required by law or defend ourselves against claims, your rights may be limited.
If the request is denied, we will inform you of the denial and the basis for the denial. If the request was partially denied, we will notify you of the part that is exempt from the request and not use any Personal Information retained for any other purposes other than what may be exempt.
Fees for making requests: You can exercise your rights above free of charge or without penalty, but we may limit the number of requests you make or charge a reasonable fee as legally permitted if we find the request to be too burdensome or too frequent.
4. How We Protect Your Information
We maintain appropriate administrative, physical, technical, organizational measures, and security controls to protect Personal Information, and to prevent loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We will only keep your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. We may also retain and use your Personal Information for as long as necessary to resolve disputes and/or enforce our rights. Where we rely on your consent to process your Personal Information, you have the right to decline consent and/or if provided, to withdraw consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to the withdrawal of your consent.
We limit access to Personal Information to our employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process Personal Information on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have implemented procedures to handle any suspected Personal Information breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach as legally required.
Please be aware, however, that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.

6. California Privacy Rights
California law permits California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed their personal information (if any) for their direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year, as well as the type of personal information disclosed to those third parties. See the “Contact” section for where to send such requests. We do not share your Personal Information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes without your prior consent. Accordingly, you can prevent disclosure of your Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes by withholding consent.
Effective January 1, 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”) allows California residents, upon a verifiable consumer request, to request that a business that collects consumers’ personal information (as defined in the CCPA) to give consumers access, in a portable and (if technically feasible) readily usable form, to the specific pieces and categories of personal information that the business has collected about the consumer, the categories of sources for that information, the business or commercial purposes for collecting the information, and the categories of third parties with which the information was shared. California residents also have the right to submit a request for deletion of information under certain circumstances. See the “Contact” section for where to send such requests. Consistent with California law, if you choose to exercise your rights, we will not charge you different prices or provide different quality of services unless those differences are related to your information.
