  2. Requests To Know Specific Pieces of PI: We will require you to Match at least three Data Points. In addition, we may require you to sign a declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the individual whose PI is the subject of the request.
  3. Requests To Correct or Delete PI: Our process for verifying your identity will depend on the sensitivity of the PI that you ask us to correct or delete. For less sensitive PI, we will require a Match of two Data Points. For more sensitive PI, we will require a Match of three Data Points and a signed declaration as described in Paragraph 2, above.

We have implemented the following additional procedures when verifying the identity of a requestor:

  1. If we cannot verify your identity based on the processes described above, we may ask you for additional verification information. If we do so, we will not use that information for any purpose other than verification or as required by law.
  2. If we cannot verify your identity to a sufficient level of certainty to respond to your request, we will let you know and explain why we cannot verify your identity.

We will acknowledge receipt of your requests to know, to delete, and to correct information within 10 days of receiving the verified request. Within forty-five (45) days, we will take action on, and/or respond to, your request, unless we need additional time, in which case we will notify you that we need up to another forty-five (45) additional days to respond. Responses to requests for specific information about you will be provided using a format that is readily useable, including by mailing you a paper copy or providing an electronic copy to you by email.

7.7. Authorized Agents

If an authorized agent submits on your behalf a request to know, correct, or delete, then the authorized agent must submit with the request either (a) a power of attorney, signed by you, that is valid under California law; or (b) another document signed by you that authorizes the authorized agent to submit the request on your behalf. In addition, we may ask you to follow the applicable process described above for verifying your identity and confirming that you authorized the agent to make the request.

7.8. Company’s Non-Discrimination and Non-Retaliation Policy

We will not discriminate against you in a manner prohibited by the CCPA because you exercise your CCPA rights. However, we may charge a different price or rate, or offer a different level or quality of good or service, to the extent that doing so is reasonably related to the value of the applicable data.

If we materially change this Workforce Privacy Notice in a way that affects how we use or disclose your PI, we will provide a prominent notice of such changes and the effective date of the changes before making them.
