How to Submit a Request Under the CCPA
You may submit a Request to Know, Request to Delete or Request to Correct (“Consumer Rights Request”) by contacting us via phone at +1-888-547-5679 or +1-332-207-4650 or through our website at the following link http://kirkoswald.com by clicking on “Contact Us” and sending an email.
We are only required to respond to verifiable Consumer Rights Requests made by you or your authorized agent. When you submit a Consumer Rights Request, we may ask that you provide clarifying or identifying information to verify your request. Such information may include, at a minimum, depending on the sensitivity of the information you are requesting and the type of request you are making, your name, phone number and email address, and we may require you to discuss the request with us over the phone. This measure is in place to help ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who does not have the right to receive it. Any information gathered as part of the verification process will be used for verification purposes only.
You are permitted to designate an authorized agent to submit a Consumer Rights on your behalf and have that authorized agent submit the request through the aforementioned methods. In order to be able to act, authorized agents have to submit written proof that they are authorized to act on your behalf, or have a power of attorney. We may deny requests from authorized agents who do not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf. We may also require that you directly verify your own identity with us and directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.
We will deliver responses to verifiable consumer requests, free of charge, either through your online account with one of our service providers, if you have such an account already, or, if you do not have a pre-existing online account, by mail or electronically, at your election.
