RM Acquisition, LLC d/b/a/ Rand McNally ("Rand McNally," "we," "us," or "our") respects the privacy of our website visitors and our users and customers.
This privacy policy (and as amended from time to time as posted on our website here) ("Privacy Policy") describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you use our Website, use our online store, or use our services (collectively, "Services"), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information. By visiting or using our www.randmcnally.com website ("Website"), you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies described in this Privacy Policy (and as updated from time to time), and you hereby consent that we may collect, use, share, retain, and transfer your information as described herein. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is to not use our Website or our Services.
At Rand McNally, your trust and satisfaction is of the utmost importance. Because we respect your privacy, we have instituted policies intended to ensure that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner.
This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through Rand McNally's websites.
Our current Privacy Policy will always be on our Website and any updates will be effective upon posting. You are responsible for periodically checking this site for updates. We suggest that you review this Privacy Policy periodically as we may update it from time to time.
Certain areas of our Website may require you to acknowledge your consent via a pop-up message and/or check box requiring your agreement to the amended Privacy Policy before you can proceed to that area of the Website.
This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of personal information. Such information may include name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, and other information which identifies you as a specific individual ("Personal Information"). For this Privacy Policy, the definition of "Personal Information" is the definition under the state, country, or other law applicable to the person whose data is collected. For California residents, "Personal Information" shall have the definition as set forth in the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"). Please see the section below entitled "California Residents Privacy Rights Notice" for more information.
Personal information does not include your personally identifiable information that has been deidentified, pseudonymized, anonymized, aggregated, and/or otherwise processed so as to be unidentifiable in such a way that the data can no longer be attributed to a specific individual (by reasonable means) without the use of additional information, and where such additional information is kept separate and under adequate security to prevent unauthorized re-identification of a specific individual such that one could not, using reasonable efforts, link such information back to a specific individual (the foregoing in this sentence being referred to as "De-Identified Personal Information").

Except where required by law, Rand McNally may use non-Personal Information for any purpose.

Where non-Personal Information is combined with Personal Information, then we will protect all the information as Personal Information.
Cookie Notice/Policy
We use a cookie to help us determine repeat visits to our websites. This cookie may be assigned to any user of our websites. This cookie does not contain any Personal Information, and simply helps us better understand if we are providing services that are valuable to our users. If you delete our cookie but have selected "remember me" in your profile, we will give you a new cookie the next time you log in. If you use our Maps & Directions features, we may store this information in a cookie to allow you to more easily re-use this information. Even without using cookies, you will be able to take advantage of almost all the features on our websites.
As you navigate through and interact with our Website, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns, including:
The information we collect automatically is statistical data and may include Personal Information, but we may maintain or associate it with Personal Information we collect in other ways or receive from third parties. It helps us to improve our Website and to deliver a better and more personalized service, including, but not limited to, by enabling us to: (a) estimate our audience/visitor size and usage patterns; (b) store information about your preferences, allowing us to customize and improve our Website; (c) speed up your searches; and/or (d) recognize you when you return to our Website.
The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include cookies, local storage cookies, web beacons, pixel tracking, GIF and/or IP address. Each of these is discussed below:
Cookies (or Browser Cookies)
A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device. It may contain certain data, including, but not limited to: the name of the server that has placed it there, an identifier in the form of a unique number, and an expiration date (some cookies only). Cookies are managed by the web browser on your computer (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or Google Chrome).
Different types of cookies which have different purposes are used on our Website.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential to allow you to browse our Website and use its functions. Without them, services such as shopping baskets and electronic invoicing would not be able to work.
Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information on the use of our Website, such as which pages are consulted most often. This information enables us to optimize our Website and simplify browsing. Performance cookies also enable our affiliates and partners to find out whether you have accessed one of our Websites from their site and whether your visit has led to the use or purchase of a product or Service from our Website, including the references for the product or Service purchased. These cookies do not collect any information which could be used to identify you. All the information collected is aggregated, and therefore anonymous.
Functionality Cookies
These cookies enable our Website to remember the choices you have made when browsing. For example, we can store your geographical location in a cookie so that the Website corresponding to your area is shown. We can also remember your preferences, such as the text size, font, and other customizable aspects of the Website. Functionality cookies may also be able to keep track of the products or videos consulted to avoid repetition. The information collected by these cookies cannot be used to identify you and cannot monitor your browsing activity on websites which do not belong to us.
It is possible that you will come across third-party cookies on some pages of websites that are not under our control.
You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting in your browser. However, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain parts of our Website. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Website.
We also use cookies to implement tracking technology on our Website. This allows us to display advertising that is tailored to you on our Website, which parts of our content interest you the most, and which Service categories you request. This tracking uses De-Identified Personal Information data. We will not combine this data with your other Personal Information without your express permission. Some of our contracted vendors and affinity partners are allowed to place cookies on our Website. Those companies may also provide you with the option of preventing the use of cookies in the future. For more information, contact the relevant third-party provider.
Local Storage Cookies. Certain features of our Website may use locally stored objects (or Adobe Flash cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on our Website. Local storage cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies.
Web Beacons. Pages of our Website and our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear GIFs, pixel tags, and single-pixel GIFs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).
Pixel Tracking. In addition to using Cookies, the Website may employ "pixel tracking," a common process which may be used in connection with advertisements on other websites. Pixel tracking involves the use of pixel tags that are not visible to the user and consist of a few lines of computer code. Pixel tracking measures the effectiveness of advertisements and compiles aggregate and specific usage statistics. A "pixel tag" is an invisible tag placed on certain pages of websites that is used to track an individual user's activity. We may access these pixel tags to identify activity and interests that may allow us to better match our goods, services, and other offers with your interests and needs. For example, if you visit our Website from an advertisement on another website, the pixel tag will allow the advertiser to track that its advertisement brought you to the Website. If you visit our Website, and we link you to another website, we may also be able to determine that you were sent to and/or transacted with a third-party website. This data is collected for use in our marketing and research.
GIF. We may use tiny images known as clear GIFs to track behavior of users, including statistics on who opens our emails.
IP Address. Our servers automatically record certain log file information reported from your browser when you access the Website or Services. These server logs may include information such as which pages of the Website you visited, your Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, and other information on how you interact with the Website. These log files are generally deleted periodically.
Third-Party Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
We also collect information though our Google AdWords tracking code to support advertising by Google AdWords, which collects data about our Website's traffic via the DoubleClick cookie.
We have implemented Google AdWords features based on Display Advertising, which may include Remarketing, Google Display Network Impressions Reporting, the DoubleClick Campaign Manager Integration, or Google AdWords Demographics and Interest Reporting. We may use Remarketing with Google AdWords to advertise online through third-party vendors, including Google, which may display our ads on websites throughout the Internet. We and our third-party vendors, including Google, may use first-party cookies (such as the Google AdWords cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to inform, optimize, and serve advertisements based on your past visits to our Websites, and to report our ad impressions, other uses of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services as it relates to visits to our Websites. We may use data from Google's interest-based advertising or third-party audience data (such as age, gender, and interests) with Google AdWords to, among other things, better provide you with appropriate content.
By using the Ads Setting, you can opt-out of Google AdWords for Display Advertising and customize Google Display Network ads. Please also consult Google AdWords' currently available opt-outs, and Google's safeguarding your data webpage, available here.
You may also submit information, such as comments, reviews, testimonials, etc., to be published or displayed ("Posted") on public areas of the Website, or transmitted to other users of the Website or third-parties (collectively, "Content"). Your Content is posted and transmitted to others at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other users of the Website with whom you may choose to share your Content. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that your Content will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. You agree to and do hereby grant us a royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, and worldwide right to use, modify, and perform any Content you post to our Website, or that you submit for posting. The term "Use" includes, but is not limited to, use, reproduce, modify, publish, list information regarding, edit, delete, translate, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and make derivative works of the Content.
If we permit you to post Content, you agree to comply with our Content Posting Guidelines set out at the end of this Privacy Policy.
We may post Content on our Website you post to our Facebook or other social media account pages.
USER CONTENT POSTING GUIDELINES
To the extent our Website contains areas where you can post or submit to be posted (together “post”) Content such as comments, product reviews, testimonials, etc., you agree to post Content that is proper and related to the general theme of the Website. Content also includes that which you send to us by email, text, mail, or other means. By posting any Content you agree to abide by these Content Posting Guidelines. You agree not to post any Content that:
You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to our computer systems or those of any our service providers or third parties, or engage in any activity that disrupts, diminishes the quality of, interferes with the performance of, or impairs the functionality of, the Website or our services. We reserve the right, but do not undertake the obligation, to refuse to post or remove any posted Content from our Website for violation of these rules or for any other reason, and to refuse to accept any future postings by you.
By posting any Content you agree to and do hereby grant us and our licensors, affiliates, partners, successors and assigns, a nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, sublicensable, transferable, royalty-free right and license to use, store, display, publish, transmit, transfer, distribute, reproduce, rearrange, edit, modify, aggregate, summarize, create derivative works of and publicly perform the Content that you post or otherwise submit to us for any purpose, in any form, medium, or technology now known or later developed.
Rand McNally does not solicit Personal Information from anyone under the age of 18 (a "Child"). If a Child submits information to us through any part of our Website, and if we know that the person submitting the information is a Child, we delete the information as soon as we discover it and do not use it for any purpose, nor do we disclose to third parties. If your Child has submitted Personal Information to us and failed to indicate that he/she was under the age of 18, you can request that such information be removed from our customer lists by contacting us using the Contact Us information listed below, and we will honor your request.
While our Rand McNally Classroom product is for use specifically by students, any usage of the product is allowed only with a single, generic, school access password which contains no information which would identify a Child. We only count the number of users by school. We do not collect or store Personal Information on student usage of the Classroom services.
When you supply us with Personal Information to order a product, the information you provide will be added to our customer file (including your name, address, phone number, and e-mail address). You may receive periodic mailings, emails, or telephone contact from us with information on new products and Services, discounts, special promotions, or upcoming events that we offer. If you do not want to receive such mailings from us, then please follow the instructions in the "How To Contact Us" section, listed below.
We may send you emails with information on new products and Services, discounts, special promotions, or upcoming events that are being offered. If you do not wish to receive such emails from us in the future, please locate our contact information in the "How To Contact Us" section listed below in order to remove yourself from our email list, or click on the "opt out" link on any email you receive from us. Please not that when you make a purchase and provide us with your email address, we may send you confirmation of your order via email even if you have chosen to not receive future emails from us about your products and Services. We may also contact you by mail or telephone if we have questions about your order.
We integrate social media application program interfaces or plugins ("Plugins") from social networks, including Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, and/or possibly other companies, into the Website. In order to register as a user with us, you may have the option to sign in using your Facebook or other social media site (SMS) login.
For example, when you visit our Website, the plugin creates a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. This allows Facebook to receive information about your visit to our Website with your IP address. If you click the Facebook "Like" button while you are logged onto your Facebook account, you can link the contents of your Website to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to assign your visit to our Website to your user account. Please note that as provide of the Website, we receive no notification about the contents of the transmitted data or their use by Facebook. If you do not want Facebook to assign your visit to our Website to your Facebook user account, please log out of your Facebook user account before accessing our Website.
If you do so, you authorize us to access certain SMS account information, such as your public SMS profile (consistent with your privacy settings in SMS), and your email address. Plugins may transfer information about you to the Plugins' respective platform without action by you. This information may include your platform user identification number, which website you are on, and more. Interacting with a Plugin will transmit information directly to that Plugin's social network and that information may be visible by others on that platform. Plugins are controlled by the respective platform's privacy policy, and not by our Privacy Policy. You can find the privacy policy for a platform on their website.
Disclosures to Service Providers
We may share your Personal Information with third parties for the purpose of providing or improving the Services to you. We may share your Personal Information with third-party service providers which perform services on our behalf ("Service Providers"). This includes, without limitation, Service Providers which provide: outbound and/or inbound communications, process payments, analyze data, provide credit checks, screening, collection services, marketing assistance, managing customer information, promotion fulfillment, create, host and/or provide customer or support services on our behalf. These Service Providers may have access to your Personal Information in order to provide these services to us or on our behalf. If we engage Service Providers for the foregoing, their use of your Personal Information will be bound by obligations of confidentiality and their use will be restricted to providing their services to us. We may store Personal Information in locations outside our direct control (for instance, on servers or databases located or co-located with hosting Service Providers). In some instances, we use third-party companies to help us in providing our products and services to you, to assist us in managing customer information, to fulfill promotions and to communicate with you. Some of these third-party Service Providers are given access to some or all of the information you provide to us, including your e-mail address, and may use cookies on our behalf.
Disclosure of De-Identified Personal Information
De-Identified Personal Information or non-Personal Information is aggregated for system administration and to monitor usage of the Website. It is utilized to measure the number of visits to our Website, average time spent, number of pages viewed, and to monitor various other Website statistics. This monitoring helps us evaluate how visitors use and navigate our Website so we can improve the content. We may share De-Identified Personal Information or anonymous information (including, but not limited to, anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, IP address, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third parties to help them understand the usage patterns for certain Services, and for any other purpose we deem appropriate. We may disclose, sell, rent, etc., your De-Identified Personal Information to third parties and we may receive valuable consideration for doing so.
Required Disclosures
Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose your Personal Information to any third party unless required to do so by law, court order, legal process, or subpoena, including to respond to any government or regulatory request, or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law, comply with legal process served on us or our affiliates, subsidiaries, contracted vendors, or affinity partners, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (b) enforce our Terms (including for billing and collection purposes); (c) take precautions against liability; (d) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations; (e) assist government enforcement agencies or to meet national security requirements; (f) to protect the security or integrity of our Website, our Services, or any software we provide related thereto; or, (g) exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of us, our users, or others.
We will attempt to notify you about these requests unless: (a) providing notice is prohibited by the legal process itself, by court order we receive, or by applicable law, or (b) we believe that providing notice would be futile, ineffective, create a risk of injury or bodily harm to an individual or group, or create or increase a risk of fraud upon us, our users, our Website, or our Services. In instances where we comply with legal requests without notice for these reasons, we will attempt to notify that user about the request after the fact if we determine in good faith that we are no longer legally prohibited from doing so and that no risk scenarios described in this paragraph apply.
It is likely that the identity and categories of such third parties will change during the life of your account. We require that our third-party service providers only use your Personal Information as necessary to provide the requested services to us and each service provider is subject to a set of terms consistent with the applicable portions of this Privacy Policy.
Your Consent to Disclosure and Transfer of Your Personal Information
We may buy or sell business assets or be acquired by or acquire other companies. In such transactions, personal information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Your consent to our disclosure of your Personal Information and other information to a potential or actual buyer of our company or other successor for the purpose of considering a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, change in control, or sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation or other court proceeding, in which Personal Information held by us is among the assets transferred. In such case, you agree to and do hereby consent to (and shall not object to) our assignment, conveyance, transfer, and/or license (whether by contract, merger, or operation of law) of any or all of our rights to your Personal Information and your consents, in whole or in part, and other information, with or without notice to you and without your further consent. Please know that if such a transfer takes place, the third party acquiring the information will be advised of your preferences about how we use your information.
Disclosure to Third Party Merchants "Presented by Rand McNally"
If you make a purchase from a merchant site with a link originating from our Website or a merchant catalog or website "presented by" Rand McNally, the information you provide to that merchant, such as your credit card number and contact information, is provided to the merchant and not to Rand McNally. Providing this information to the merchant enables the transaction to take place. However, you should know that the merchant may share your name and postal and email addresses with third parties, including Rand McNally. You should also know that these merchants have their own privacy and data collection practices and are not covered by our Privacy Policy.
Merchants presented on (or that have links from) the Rand McNally Website and those merchants, who send catalogs or host websites "presented by" Rand McNally, have separate privacy policies and data collection practices. We have no control over and therefore no responsibility or liability for these merchants or their policies or practices. For more information regarding merchants who send catalogs or host websites "presented by" Rand McNally and their privacy policies, please see the merchant's home page or review the customer service section of any catalog you may receive from the merchant.
When you see either a solid key icon or a locked padlock icon at the lower portion of your browser window, then your site is secured through Secure Sockets Layer. We use industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving your information on our Website. If you do not see one of these icons, please contact your Internet service provider. When we transfer and receive certain types of sensitive information, such as financial information, we will redirect you to a secure server and notify you through a pop-up screen on our Website.
We have implemented measures designed to secure your Personal Information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do use security measures designed to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted to us or which we obtain.
Please note that email is not encrypted and is not considered a secure means of transmitting sensitive information, e.g., credit card numbers.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. You should maintain good internet security practices. Where you have password-protected access to an account or certain parts of the Website or Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. You should not share your password with anyone. You must prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer or device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. If your email account or Facebook account is compromised this could allow access to your account with us if you have given us those details and/or permitted access through those accounts. If your email account is compromised it could be used to ask us to reset a password and gain access to your account with us. If you think that any of your accounts have been compromised you should change your account credentials with us, and in particular make sure any compromised account does not allow access to your account with us. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by other users. We will never email you to ask for your password or other account login information. If you receive such an email, please send it to us so we can investigate.
Our "Careers" page (available here) has information about employment opportunities with us, and contains a link that directs you to a third party's website (but which contains our brands) through which you can submit an application for employment. This application will request certain Personal Information of you. The Career Opportunities Privacy Policy set forth at the end of this Privacy Policy applies to our Careers page and information collecting/processing in connection therewith, in addition to this Privacy Policy. The third party's website has its own terms of use and privacy policy which you should review prior to submitting any Personal Information through that website. That site may provide us with your application, including some or all of the Personal Information (and other information) you submit.

We require that our service providers and such other third parties keep your personal information confidential and that they only use the personal information in furtherance of the specific purpose for which it was disclosed. We and our service providers may use your personal information in an anonymized format (in a form in which your identity cannot be determined) for other purposes not specified above, including in the development and testing of products and services.
Security and Confidentiality. Except as otherwise stated in this Career Opportunities Privacy Policy, or as required for legal or regulatory purposes, we treat your personal information as confidential and will not disclose it to third parties without your consent. We maintain, and require our service providers to maintain, reasonable administrative, physical, and technical controls designed to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information. Our employees who may have access to personal information are required to keep that information confidential.
We may employ security procedures at our facilities and on our computer systems to monitor and maintain security, including the use of closed circuit television. Any monitoring of our facilities, systems or assets is performed in accordance with applicable law.
Retention and Access. We may retain your information to consider you for other job opportunities. To the extent permitted or required by law, we may delete data at any time; accordingly, you should retain your own copy of any information you submit to us.
You may access and correct personal information you have submitted online using our careers website. You may submit other requests by mail to the Rand McNally HR Coordinator, P.O. Box 7600, Chicago, IL 60680-9915 .
Your Responsibilities. You are responsible for the information you provide or make available to us, and you must ensure it is honest, truthful, accurate and not misleading in any way. You must ensure that the information provided does not contain material that is obscene, defamatory, or infringing on any rights of any third party; does not contain malicious code; and is not otherwise legally actionable.
We have our headquarters in the United States. The Personal Information we collect may be stored and processed in servers within or outside of the United States and wherever we and our service providers have facilities around the globe. As such, we and our Service Providers may transfer your Personal Information to, or access it in, jurisdictions that may not provide equivalent levels of data protection as your home jurisdiction. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that your Personal Information receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it.
The time periods for which we retain your Personal Information depend on the purposes for which we use it. We will keep your Personal Information for as long as your account is active, or as long as you are a registered account holder or user of our Services or for as long as we have another business purpose to do so and, thereafter, for no longer than is required or permitted by law, or our records retention policy, reasonably necessary for internal reporting and reconciliation purposes, or to provide you with feedback or information you might request. This period of retention is subject to our review and alteration.
Following termination or deactivation of your account, we may retain your profile information and all information posted to public areas of the Website. Following termination or deactivation of your account, we may retain your Personal Information and other data, but will maintain it as confidential according to this Privacy Policy, and as required by applicable law. We have the right to delete all of your Personal Information and other data after termination of your account without notice to you.
We may retain De-Identified Personal Information for as long as we choose.

Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies.
We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our Service Provider(s) to:
1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the Personal Information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
6. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with Consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
7. Comply with a legal, regulatory or law enforcement obligation.
8. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.
Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights
To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable Consumer request to us by: using our webform, or sending an email to us at website@randmcnally.com. Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable Consumer request related to your Personal Information. You may also make a verifiable Consumer request on behalf of your minor child. You may only make a verifiable Consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable Consumer request must:
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you. Making a verifiable Consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable Consumer request to verify the requester's identity or authority to make the request.
Verification Process
Email Verification Method: Upon receiving a data access or deletion request from you we will send an email to you at the email address we have for you on file. The email will ask you to respond to verify you as the Consumer making the request. Upon receipt of your verification we will match your information to that which is in our file. Upon verification of your identity we will proceed to process your request (subject to the exceptions stated above).
Webform Verification Method: When you submit a request using our webform we will match the information you submitted with the information we have for you on file. Upon verification of your identity we will proceed to process your request (subject to the exceptions stated above). We may not be able to comply with your request if (a) we are unable to verify your request, (b) if we are unable to match you with information in our database, or (c) if an exception under the law exists exempting us from complying with your request.
Response Timing and Format
We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) days of receiving it. We will respond to a verifiable Consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to an additional forty-five (45) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
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 verifiable Consumer 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 will not discriminate against you simply for your exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
Through your account settings, you may access and, in some cases, edit or delete certain information you've provided to us, such as name and password, email address, address, user profile information, etc. The information that you can view, update, and delete may change as the Services or our practices change. If you have any questions about viewing or updating information we have on file about you, please contact us.
We will evaluate each request and reply as required by applicable law or our policy in an appropriate manner and form of communication that respects the security of the information you have requested.
