Exercising U.S. Data Subject Rights

To exercise your applicable U.S. state data subject rights, you may submit a data subject request using the contact details provided below. We will process your requests in a manner consistent with applicable law. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable 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 processing your request.

How We Verify Data Subject Requests

We may require that your identity be verified prior to processing verifiable rights requests. If your request requires verification, we will verify your identity by comparing the information we have about you against the information we receive when you submit your request. If we do not have enough information to verify your identity, we may request additional information from you, consistent with applicable law. We reserve the right to deny a rights request if we are unable to verify your identity.

Authorized Agents

Some states permit you to designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf to exercise certain data subject rights. Even if you use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, pursuant to applicable law, we may still require that you verify your identity directly to us depending on the nature of the request and sensitivity of the information at issue.

If you are an authorized agent submitting a request on behalf of an individual, please submit a request using the contact information provided in the Contact Us section below. You must include a copy of the written, signed permission indicating that you are permitted to act on that person’s behalf.

Appealing a Denied Data Subject Request

If you submit an appeal to a denied request more than sixty (60) days after you have been notified of our decision to deny the request, we may deny your appeal. If you submit a timely appeal, we will respond within forty-five (45) days of our receipt of your appeal.

To appeal a decision, please clearly and plainly describe your disagreement with our decision by responding through the same means by which we communicated our decision or by submitting your appeal using the information provided in the Contact Us section below. We will review your appeal and either amend or uphold our decision. In either case, we will provide a written explanation of the reason for the decision. This decision will be final. If your appeal is denied, residents of Colorado, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia may contact their state attorney general.
