How to Exercise Your Privacy Rights. To submit a request to exercise these rights you may use one of the following three methods:
For all requests, please clearly state that the request is related to “Your [State] Privacy Rights,” indicate which type of request you are making. Please provide us with the following information: (1) first and last name; (2) email address; and (3) zip code. We will take steps to verify your request by matching the information provided by you with the information we have in our records. If we are unable to adequately verify a request, we will notify the requestor.
We may deny your request if (1) we are not reasonably capable of associating your request with the Personal Information or it would be unreasonably burdensome for us to associate your request with the Personal Information; (2) we do not use the Personal Information to recognize or respond to you specifically or associate the Personal Information with other Personal Information about you; and (3) we do not sell the Personal Information to any third party or otherwise voluntarily disclose the Personal Information to any third party other than a processor, except as otherwise permitted under applicable law.

This section of the Policy provides additional information for California residents and describes our information practices pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act 2020, and its implementing regulations (the “CCPA”). This section applies to “Personal Information” as defined in the CCPA, whether collected online or offline. This section does not apply to information that is exempt from CCPA, such as information protected under the federal financial privacy laws. The CCPA recognizes that such financial information is already protected by federal privacy law, so the CCPA does not apply to this information. The majority of information we collect, process, or disclose is for insurance purposes and is governed by the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”). For more information, please see the insurance company’s policy. To the extent you are an insured and we have received your information for insurance purposes, these privacy rights do not apply to you. Your insurance company may be required to provide you with certain privacy rights under federal and state law. If you would like a copy of your privacy rights under such laws, please contact the insurance company directly.
Retention of Personal Information. We retain your Personal Information for as long as needed, or permitted, based on the reason we obtained it (consistent with applicable law). When deciding how long to keep your Personal Information, we consider whether we are subject to any legal obligations (e.g., any laws that require us to keep records for a certain period of time before we can delete them) or whether we have taken any legal positions (e.g., issued any legal holds or otherwise need to preserve the information). In accordance with our retention policies, rather than delete your Personal Information we may also deidentify your Personal Information in compliance with CCPA. If we collect or use deidentified information, we will not attempt to reidentify it.
Your California Privacy Rights. The CCPA provides California residents with certain rights regarding their Personal Information. In general, California residents, including our business clients’ employees who reside in California, have the following rights with respect to their Personal Information, subject to certain exceptions:
The Right to Know/Access. With respect to the Personal Information we have collected about you, you have the right to request from us (subject to certain exemptions):
Right to Correct. You have the right to request that we correct inaccuracies in your Personal Information.
Right to Delete. Subject to certain exceptions, you have the right to request we delete Personal Information we have collected from you.
Right to Opt-Out of Sales and Sharing. You have the right to opt-out of “sales” and “sharing” of your Personal Information, as those terms are defined under the CCPA. We do not “sell” or “share” Personal Information under CCPA. We do not sell or share sensitive Personal Information, nor do we sell or share any Personal Information about individuals who we know are under sixteen (16) years old.
Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information. We do not engage in uses or disclosures of “sensitive Personal Information” that would trigger the right to limit use of sensitive Personal Information under the CCPA.
Right to Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of the rights described in this section.
Exercising Your Rights. If you are a California resident and would like to exercise any of these rights, you may contact us at:
Before responding to your request, we must first verify your identity using your first and last name, phone number, email address, government issued ID, and Public Storage account. If we cannot verify your request, we will contact you for more information. If we cannot verify your identity after a good faith attempt, we may deny the request and, if so, will explain the basis for the denial.
Designating an Authorized Agent. You may designate someone to submit requests and act on your behalf (an “Authorized Agent”). Authorized agents will be required to provide proof of their authorization in their first communication with us, and we may also require that the relevant consumer directly verify their identity and the authority of the authorized agent.
5. Information Regarding Children
Our Site is intended for users who are 13 years or older and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 years old. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child under 13 years old, we will delete such information from our records. If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe your child has given us information and you did not provide consent, please email us at [email protected] for assistance.
6. What Else You Should Know About Your Privacy
You should be careful to maintain the secrecy of your user ID and password and/or account information and be responsible for protecting your Personal Information and identity, both online and offline. You can refer to the Federal Trade Commission’s website at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/menus/consumer/data.shtm for information on how to protect yourself from identity theft.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
