REQUESTS TO CORRECT
If the information we collect about you is inaccurate, you have the right to request that we correct the inaccurate information, subject to certain exceptions and limitations (“right to correct”). If we receive a verifiable request from you to correct your personal information, we will correct the information in our records and systems and will direct our service providers to do the same, unless we determine that the information is more likely than not accurate or that complying with your request would be impossible or require disproportionate effort. We may require you to provide documentation in support of your request.
REQUESTS TO DELETE
You also have the right to request that we delete your personal information (“right to delete”). If we receive a verifiable request from you to delete your personal information, we will delete the information from our records and systems and direct our service providers to do the same, unless we are permitted by law to maintain the information. If the information is stored on archived or backup systems, we may delay compliance with your request until the data is restored to an active system or is next accessed or used.
