Your Privacy Rights

Privacy laws in certain states, including California, provide certain rights for individuals.  Those rights may include, based on your geographic location, the following:

Right to Know – You may ask us to provide a description of the Personal Information we have collected about you and to access the specific pieces of information.

Right to Correct – You may ask us to correct any inaccuracies in the Personal Information we have collected.

If you wish to exercise one or more of these rights, please send an email to [email protected] or call us at 1-855-330-886.  We will probably verify your identity by asking you questions or contacting you through an alternate channel but may, under applicable law, require additional proof of your identity.  You may designate an authorized agent to make a request for you.  The process for making the request is the same.  If you use an authorized agent, we may require the agent to submit proof that they are authorized to act on your behalf.

If we decline your request, partially or fully, you may appeal the decision to our senior management.  Simply follow the same process for submitting a request and include “Appeal” in the title or other part of the request.  If that Appeal is denied, you may be able to contact your Attorney General’s office, depending on the state in which you reside, to submit a complaint.
