How to exercise your rights


To exercise the rights described above, you need to submit your verifiable request to us by contacting us via the details provided in this document.

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 will not respond to any request if we are unable to verify your identity and therefore confirm the personal information in our possession actually relates to you.


If you cannot personally submit a verifiable request, you can authorize a person registered with the California Secretary of State to act on your behalf.


If you are an adult, you can make a verifiable request on behalf of a minor under your parental authority.

You can submit a maximum number of 2 requests over a period of 12 months.

Our disclosure(s) will cover the preceding 12 month period.


Should we deny your request, we will explain you the reasons behind our denial.
