Your rights concerning your personal information

In the section below you may find more about your rights and choices regarding your personal information.

Access and Data Portability

You have the right to request details about the personal information we have collected, disclosed, and used over the past 12 months. Once we verify your request, we will provide:

• The categories and specific pieces of personal information we’ve collected about you.
• The purposes for collecting or selling that information.
• The categories of sources from which we collected the information.
• The categories of third parties with whom we shared or disclosed the information.

Deletion of Personal Information

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions. Upon confirming your request, we will delete your information unless retaining it is necessary for:

• Completing transactions or services you requested.
• Detecting and protecting against security incidents and illegal activities.
• Debugging and repairing errors.
• Exercising free speech or other legal rights.
• Complying with legal obligations.
• Conducting lawful research if the deletion impairs the research, based on your prior consent.
• Internal uses aligned with your relationship with us.
• Other lawful uses compatible with the context in which you provided the information.

Exercising your rights

In order to exercise your rights, you should submit your request here.

Your request must be verifiable. Thus, you should provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative. Also, you should 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 there is no possibility to verify your identity and confirm the personal information relates to you.
Please be aware that you may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.

Format and timing of the response

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
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. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your 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

We are firmly committed to non-discriminatory practice. Therefore, we will not discriminate against you for exercising any of the above-presented rights.
