To exercise any of the above rights, you or your authorized agent may contact us using the contact details provided in Section 11 below.

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 that the relevant Personal Information relates to you. Making such a verifiable request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we do consider requests made through your password-protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to Personal Information associated with that specific account.
Response Timing and Formats
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
Any disclosures we provide may cover the period back to January 1, 2022 for California residents, or the preceding 12 months for residents of other states, depending on applicable law. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is commonly used and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without undue hindrance.
Appeals Process
If we deny your request, you have the right to appeal that decision. We will respond to your appeal within 45-60 days (depending on applicable state law). If your appeal is denied, you may contact the attorney general in your state to submit a complaint.
6. DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
