Only you or your "authorized agent," as defined in the CCPA, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information.
Your verifiable consumer request must: (i) provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative; and (ii) describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.

If we require more time (up to ninety (90) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
