Wewill provide a confirmation email to you within 10 days of receipt of a request for access, deletion, or correction. The confirmation email will explain how we will verify a request which will vary depending on the type of request made. We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request for access or to delete within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our response to the email address you provided when you made your request.
