Users may submit two types of Requests to Know: (1) A request for the specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about you in the past twelve months; or (2) a request for the categories of personal information that we have collected about you in the past twelve months, and we have used and disclosed that personal information.

When you submit a Request to Know, we may ask you to provide certain pieces of information in order to verify your identity, such as your name, email address, and phone number. If you submit a Request to Know for the specific pieces of information that we have collected about you, we may also require you to submit a signed declaration under the penalty of perjury stating that you are the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the Request to Know.

If we are able to verify your identity, we will respond to your Request to Know by: (a) providing the requested information; or (b) explaining why we are not required to provide the requested information.
