- Authorized Agents
You may designate an authorized agent to request any of the above rights on your behalf. You may make such a designation by providing the agent with written permission, signed by you, to act on your behalf. Your agent may contact us as described in the “Contact US” section below to make a request on your behalf. Even if you choose to use an agent, we may, as permitted by law, require:
- The authorized agent to provide proof that you provided signed permission to the authorized agent to submit the request;
- You to verify your identity directly with us; or
- You to directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.
- Virginia and Connecticut Appeal Process
If you have made a request to access, correct, or delete your Personal Information under VCDPA and CTDPA, and we have declined to take action, you may appeal our decision within 45 days of the denial. When you make such an appeal, you can expect the following:
- We will verify your identity. You will need to provide us with your email address and full name. We may ask for additional information if needed.
- We will review your appeal and respond in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written explanation of the reasons for the decision, within 45 days upon receipt of your appeal. If necessary, we may need an additional period of time, up to another 45 days, but we will reply either way within the first 45-day period and, if we need an extension, we will explain why.
- In certain cases, an appeal may be denied. For example, if we cannot verify your identity, the law requires that we maintain the information, or if we need the information for internal purposes such as providing services or completing an order. If we deny your appeal, we will explain why we denied it and provide you with a method to contact your state’s Attorney General to submit a complaint.
