You have the right to request that we disclose to you:

  • the categories and sources of personal information we collect about you, the purposes for which we use your information, and with whom this information is shared;
  • in the case of sale of personal information or disclosure for commercial purposes, two separate lists in which we disclose:
  • for sales, the categories of personal information acquired by each category of recipients; and
  • for commercial disclosures, the categories of personal information obtained by each category of recipients.

The disclosure described above will be limited to personal information collected or used in the past 12 months.

If we submit our response electronically, the attached information will be “portable”, that is, delivered in a user-friendly format to allow you to transmit the information to another entity without hindrance - provided that this is technically feasible.

The right to request the erasure of your personal information

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information, subject to exceptions provided by law (such as, including, but not limited to, where the information is used to identify and correct errors in this application, to detect security incidents and to protect against fraudulent or illegal activities, to exercise certain rights, etc.).

If no legal exception applies, as a result of exercising your right, we will delete your personal information and instruct any of our service providers to do so.

How to exercise your rights

To exercise your rights described above, you must send us your verifiable request by contacting us using the details provided in this document.

To respond to your request, it is necessary to know who you are. Therefore, you can exercise the above rights only by making a verifiable request that must:

  • provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we have collected personal information or an authorized representative;
  • describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to understand, evaluate and respond appropriately.

We will not respond to any request unless we are able to verify your identity and therefore confirm that the personal information in our possession actually relates to you.

If you are unable to submit a verifiable request in person, you may authorize a person registered with the California Secretary of State to act on your behalf.

If you are an adult, you can make a verifiable request on behalf of a minor under parental authority.

You can send a maximum of 2 applications over a period of 12 months.

How and when we expect to handle your request

We will confirm receipt of your verifiable request within 10 days and provide you with information on how we will process your request.

Our disclosures will cover the previous 12-month period.

If we refuse your request, we will explain to you the reasons behind our refusal.

We do not charge a fee for processing or responding to your verifiable request, unless such request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. In such cases, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act upon request. In both cases, we will communicate our choices and explain the reasons behind them.
