Your Privacy Rights
Right to Know
You have the right to request that we disclose to you the personal information we collect, use, disclose, or sell about you. As stated elsewhere, we do not sell your personal information.

Right to Request Deletion
You have the right to request that we delete your personal information. You may make such a request by email [email protected].
You should be aware, however, that California law allows us to retain your personal information under certain conditions, even if you have asked us to delete it, such as when retaining your personal information is necessary for us to complete a transaction with you or provide you with a product or service you have requested. We will notify you of any denial of your deletion request and the reason for such denial.
Right to Non-Discrimination for Exercise of Consumer Privacy Rights
We will not discriminate against you because you have chosen to exercise any of your privacy rights provided by the CCPA.
Submitting Consumer Requests
Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.
To make a verifiable consumer request, please contact us by email at [email protected] or via phone at 1-800-706-5358. Be sure to clarify precisely the specific right under California law you are looking to exercise and explain your request with sufficient detail such that we can properly understand, evaluate, and respond to the request. You will need to provide sufficient information such that we can reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information (or sufficient information such that we can reasonably verify that you are such person’s authentic authorized agent).
We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.
