Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf (“authorized agent”), may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information.

We use this information to identify responsive records and to verify your identity. Your request should include sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. Please note that we may require additional information from you in order to verify your identity and process your request.

If you chose to use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, you must provide the agent written permission to do so and the agent must verify their own identity directly with us, in addition to the steps we would take if we processed your request directly.
