153

154

We will let you know via email if we need more information from you to verify your request. Please reply to our requests promptly.

155

**We aim to promptly verify and respond to your requests to know,** access the specific pieces of personal information we have about you, **delete and correct inaccuracies in your personal information within 45 days of receipt, but may require a total of 90 days to respond to your requests.** If we require additional time beyond the initial 45 days and that time is reasonably necessary, we will let you know within the first 45 days. We respond to requests you submit to us to opt-out of the sale of your personal information within 15 business days.

163

164

**We do not ordinarily charge a fee for our response to your requests.** However, we may do so if your request(s) are excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.

167

168
