To make a request for any of the information set forth above (a “Request to Know”), please submit a verifiable consumer request pursuant to the instructions below. You may only make a Request to Know twice within a 12-month period. We will acknowledge your Request to Know within 10 days and will attempt to respond substantively within 45-90 days.

The Request to Know must provide sufficient information to allow us to verify that you are the person about whom the personal information was collected, sold or disclosed and must contain sufficient detail to allow us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to your request.  If we cannot verify your identity, we will not be able to respond to your request.

Once we receive your Request to Know, we will begin the process to verify that you are the person that is the subject of the request (the “Verification Process”). The Verification Process consists of matching identifying information provided by you with the information we have about you in our records. If you are an account holder, making a request through your account is sufficient for verification purposes. If you do not have an account with us, you will be asked to provide us with two or three pieces of information that will help us to verify your identification.

Right to Know and Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information Collected 

We do not collect or process sensitive personal information for purposes of inferring characteristics or for any purposes other than those set forth in Regulations Section 7027(m).
