The CCPA provides California residents specific rights to delete their personal data that we collected from them and retained, subject to certain exceptions (the “right to delete”). We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to: - Provide the Services or any service that you requested from us, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.

- Debug the Services to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.

- Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).

- Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
- Comply with a legal obligation.
Once we receive your request and confirm your identity, we will delete or deidentify personal data and direct our service providers to take similar action, unless subject to one of these exceptions above.
How to Exercise the Rights to Know or Delete
To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request by using the contact information provided in "Contact Information" of this Policy.
Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal data.
You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know or delete must: - Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal data or an authorized representative, which may include: your identification information, a signed permission authorizing the representative to submit the request on your behalf, and any other information permitted or recommended by the CCPA and applicable regulations.
- 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 data if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal data relates to you.
We will only use personal data provided in the request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request. Response Timing and Format regarding Requests to Know or Delete We will confirm receipt of your request within [fifteen (15)] business days.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 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, we will select a format to provide your personal data 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 verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded, or as otherwise permitted by the CCPA. 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.
