b. Verifying Requests

You may request to exercise your rights of access, deletion, or correction under CCPA by contacting us as described in the Contact Us section below. To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your identity before processing your request. If you request access to or deletion of your Personal Information, we may require you to provide any of the following information: name, date of birth, email address, telephone number, or postal address. When you make such a request, you can expect the following:

As required under applicable law, we will verify your identity. You will need to provide us with your email address and full name. We may ask for additional information if needed.
We will confirm that you want your information accessed, corrected, and/or deleted.
We will confirm our receipt of your request within 10 days. If you have not received a response within a few days after that, please let us know by contacting us at the webpage or phone number listed below.
We will respond to your request within 45 days upon receipt of your request. If necessary, we may need an additional period of time, up to another 45 days, but we will reply either way within the first 45-day period and, if we need an extension, we will explain why.
In certain cases, a request for access, correction, or deletion may be denied. For example, if we cannot verify your identity, the law requires that we maintain the information, if we need the information for internal purposes such as providing Products or completing an order, or if we must keep the information pursuant to state or federal laws. If we deny your request, we will explain why we denied it and delete any other information that is not protected and subject to denial.

c. Authorized Agents

You may designate an authorized agent to request any of the above rights on your behalf. You may make such a designation by providing the agent with written permission, signed by you, to act on your behalf. Your agent may contact us as described in the Contact Us section below to make a request on your behalf. Even if you choose to use an agent, we may, as permitted by law, require:

The authorized agent to provide proof that you provided signed permission to the authorized agent to submit the request;
You to verify your identity directly with us; or
You to directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.
