How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights (“Privacy Request”), please contact us using the information provided in the “Contact Us” section below. We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable law in accordance with the procedure described below.

Before we can fulfill your Privacy Request, we need to (i) verify your identity or your authority to make the request (if you are submitting a Privacy Request as an agent) and (ii) confirm that the personal information you are requesting belongs to you.

For most requests, we will ask you to provide information that matches at least two pieces of personal information we store about you before responding to your Privacy Request. If you would like to request specific pieces of personal information that we have collected or sensitive personal information, you will need to match at least three pieces of information we store about you, and you must provide a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose personal information you are requesting. If you have a password-protected account with us, we may use our existing authentication procedures to verify your identity, however, you are not required to have an account with us to make a Privacy Request.

We may refuse any request if we are unable to verify the identity of the person making the request or if we cannot authenticate the legitimacy of the request using commercially reasonable efforts. Under such circumstances, we may follow up with you for additional information as reasonably necessary to authenticate your request. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable Privacy Request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the Privacy Request.

Authorized Agents

You may grant an authorized agent written permission to submit Privacy Requests, but we may deny requests from an authorized agent if we are unable to verify your identity directly as the subject of the personal information at issue. To verify a Privacy Request from an authorized agent, we may require proof that you gave the authorized agent signed permission to submit the Privacy Request, such as by requiring you to directly confirm with us that you provided permission for the authorized agent to submit your Privacy Request, and/or we may ask you to verify your identity directly with us.

Step 2: Responding to your Privacy Request.

After verifying your identity, we will respond to your request by either fulfilling your Privacy Request or explaining why we are denying your Privacy Request. If we deny your Privacy Request, you may have the option under applicable law to appeal this decision by contacting us. If you are concerned with the result of your appeal, you may have the right to contact your State Attorney General or applicable data protection authority.

Deletion Requests

Please note that for deletion requests, any removal of content by us does not ensure or guarantee complete or comprehensive removal in all places. The content may have been shared or reposted by other parties who act outside of any business relationship with us or may not cooperate with our request for them to delete your personal information, or federal or state law may require maintenance of the content or information. We will do our best to accommodate your Privacy Request, but we cannot guarantee we can remove all personal information from the specified uses. Therefore, please be as specific as possible in your Privacy Request. If the Privacy Request relates to information that we need to provide Services to you, you may not be able to use the Services properly moving forward. We reserve the right to maintain proper business records as required by law, or for otherwise legitimate business purposes to the extent permitted by law, even if such records contain your personal information.

Opt-Out of Certain Personal Information Use and Sharing Activities

As discussed above, you may have choices with respect to opting out of certain uses or disclosures of your personal information. Please see our Cookie Policy for information on how to exercise your opt out preferences.

International Data Transfers
