Opting-Out of Non-Essential Email or Text Communications
If you do not wish to receive email or text communications from us, you may opt-out of receiving such communications by emailing or writing to us as provided in the <> section below. You may also reply to the email or text in question and request that you receive no further correspondence from us. You may follow this same procedure to change or update information you have previously provided to us.
Your election not to receive promotional and marketing correspondence from us will not (a) preclude us from corresponding with you, by email, text or otherwise, regarding your existing or past relationship with us, nor (b) preclude us, including our employees, contractors, agents and other representatives, from accessing and viewing your personal information while maintaining and improving the Website.
Response Timing and Format
We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days (or the applicable timeframe provided by law) of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing prior to the expiration of the original 45 days.
We will deliver our written response electronically to the email address we have on file for you, regardless of the email address from which you submitted the request.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the twelve- (12) month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests (if applicable), we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity.
You can request information free of charge once per year. For a second or subsequent request within a 12-month period, we may charge an amount that is the same for the provision of a public record, which is $0.25 per standard page, or a fee not to exceed the actual cost of providing a copy, printout, or photograph of the record in a format other than a standard page.
Requests Submitted by Authorized Agents
In certain circumstances, you are permitted to use an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf where you provide sufficient evidence that the requestor is an authorized agent with written permission to act on your behalf and you successfully verify your own identity with us. An Authorized Agent can make a request on the subject consumer’s behalf by:
- For requests to know and delete: (1) providing a valid power of attorney under the laws of the subject individual’s state of residence; or (2) providing sufficient evidence to show that the subject consumer has (i) provided the Authorized Agent signed permission to act on their behalf, (ii) verified their own identity directly with us, and (iii) directly confirmed with us that they have provided the Authorized Agent permission to submit the request on their behalf; and
- For requests to opt-out: submitting a signed permission demonstrating that the Authorized Agent has been authorized by the subject consumer to act on their behalf.
Appeal Process
If we refuse to take action upon your request to exercise any of your state privacy rights, we will notify you without undue delay, but within forty-five (45) days (or the applicable timeframe provided by law) of the receipt of the notice. You may appeal our decision within a reasonable period after you receive notice of our decision.
To initiate an appeal, please contact us using the information in the <> section and inform us that you would like to appeal our decision. Within forty-five (45) days (or the applicable timeframe provided by law) after we receive your appeal, we will inform you of any action taken or not taken in response to your appeal, and we will provide you with a written explanation of the reasons in support of our response.
If your appeal is denied, we will also provide you with an online mechanism, if available, or other method through which you may contact your state attorney general to submit a complaint, should you wish to do so.
Non-Discrimination

- Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties;
- Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; or
