    We will respond to verifiable requests received from California residents as required by law. When you submit a request to know or a request to delete, we will take steps to verify your request by matching the information provided by you with the information we have in our records.  You must complete all required fields on our webform (or otherwise provide us with this information via the above toll-free number) so that we can process and verify your request.  We will process your request based upon the personal information in our records that is linked or reasonably linkable to the information provided in your request.

If we are unable to adequately verify a request, we will notify the requestor.  Authorized agents may initiate a request on behalf of another individual by contacting us via email or phone; authorized agents will be required to provide proof of their authorization and we may also require that the relevant consumer directly verify their identity and the authority of the authorized agent.

    Requests to Opt Out. Our website responds to global privacy control—or “GPC”—signals, which means that if we detect that your browser is communicating a GPC signal, we will process that as a request to opt that particular browser and device out of sales and sharing (i.e., via cookies and tracking tools) on our website.  Note that if you come back to our website from a different device or use a different browser on the same device, you will need to opt out (or set GPC for) that browser and device as well.  (You can also manage your preferences for targeting and other cookies on one of our Websites through the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of the Website.) More information about GPC is available at: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.  You may also submit a request to opt out of other sharing and sales by submitting a request via:

We may make available certain programs or offerings that are considered “financial incentives” under the CCPA, and we will provide notice of the material terms of such incentives and obtain consent from individuals before including them in such incentive programs. You can opt out of such programs at any time through the opt out mechanism provided in the program information.
