Once we receive your Request to Know, we will begin the process to verify that you are the person who is the subject of the request (the “Verification Process”). The Verification Process consists of matching the identifying information provided by you with the information we have about you in our records. You will be asked to provide us with two or three pieces of information that will help us verify your identification.

If your request to delete involves deleting very sensitive information, we may also need a signed declaration stating that you are the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request.
