Submitting CCPA Rights Requests. To submit a CCPA Rights request, please contact us at 888-232-9574 or email us at HR@afognak.com. We reserve the right to only respond to verifiable Requests to Know, Delete, or Correct that are submitted as instructed. A verifiable consumer request is one made by any individual who is:
- the individual who is the subject of the request,
- an individual on behalf of the individual’s minor child, or
- the authorized agent of the individual.
What to submit. If we request, you must provide us with sufficient information to verify your identity and/or authority to act on behalf of the individual. In general, we may ask you to provide identifying information that we already maintain about you, or we may use a third-party verification service. In either event, we will try to avoid asking you for Sensitive Personal Information to verify your identity. We may not be able to 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. However, making a verifiable request does not require you to create an account with us.
Additionally, you will need to describe your request in sufficient detail to allow us to review, understand, assess, and respond. We will not use the Personal Information we collect from an individual to determine a verifiable request for any other purpose, except as required or permitted by law.
Our response. We reserve the right to charge a fee to process or respond to your request if it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that a request warrants a fee, we will attempt to notify you as to why we made that decision and provide a cost estimate before completing your request. We will endeavor to respond to a verifiable request within forty-five (45) calendar days of receipt, but we may require an extension of up to forty-five (45) additional calendar days to respond and we will notify you of the need for the extension.
Authorized Agent. You may authorize a natural person or a business (the Agent) to act on your behalf. When you submit a Request to Know, Correct, or Delete, the Agent must provide proof that you gave the Agent signed permission to submit the request, and you either must (i) verify your own identity with the business or (ii) directly confirm with us that you provide permission to the Agent. However, these steps are not required when you have provided the authorized agent with power of attorney pursuant to Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465. We reserve the right to deny requests from persons or businesses claiming to be authorized agents that do not submit sufficient proof of their authorization.
Spouses, Dependents, and Associates. If you have knowledge that the Company collected Personal Information related to your spouse, dependent, or associate, please share a copy of this notice with all such individuals.
