How to Exercise Your Rights

First, you may wish to log into your account and manage your data from there. Depending on where you live, you may also exercise your rights, if any, regarding other data by contacting us. We may take steps to verify your identity before complying with your request to protect your privacy and security, and may decline your request if we are unable to verify your identity.

Depending on where you live, you may exercise these rights yourself or you may also designate an authorized agent to make these requests on your behalf. In order for us to process the request, you must provide the authorized agent with signed written permission. We reserve the request to require the agent to verify their own identity and to confirm directly with you that you have provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

In addition, where applicable, we will provide you with more information about our appeal process. When you submit a request or launch an appeal, we will limit our collection of your information to only what is necessary to securely fulfil your request or process your appeal. We will not require you or your authorized agent to pay a fee for the verification of your request or appeal.
