Any disclosures we provide will 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.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.

Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights

We do not sell the personal information of consumers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we also do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age.
