Deletion Request Rights
You have the right to request that the Company delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. For example, the Company is not required to delete your personal information if it is necessary for the Company to maintain your personal information in order to:
- Complete the transaction for which the personal information was collected, provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated within the context of the Company’s ongoing business relationship with you, complete the payment of agent commissions, or otherwise perform a contract between the Company and you;
- Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity;

- To enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with the Company;
- Comply with a legal obligation;
- Otherwise use your personal information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information.
Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Your Rights below), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies under the CCPA.
Right to Opt-Out of Sales
As noted above, we may “sell” your personal information, as that term is broadly defined under the CCPA. You have the right to request that we not sell your personal information to third parties (“opt-out”) by contacting us at the toll-free number or website listed below.
Rights of Children Under the Age of 16
We do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age. If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time. You may exercise this right by contacting us as described below.
Exercising Your Rights
Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:
- Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative; and
- Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
To exercise the access, opt-out, and/or deletion rights described herein, you may call the toll free number below or visit our website:

Response Timing and Format
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
Non-Discrimination Under CCPA
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. If you make a CCPA request, we will not, as a direct result:

- 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
- Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
