Only you or a person registered with the California 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.
You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within
a 12-month period. 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.
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. Our practices with
regard to verifying a request will vary depending on the request and the information we
have on the person making the request.
Response Timing and Format
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we
require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in

electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month
period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. 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 your personal information that is readily useable
and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without
hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it
is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants
a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate
before completing your request.
Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless
permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
Deny you goods or services.
Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting
discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different
level or quality of goods or services.
