      • Through our existing authentication practices for your password-protected account with us, if you have one. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us, if you do not make a request through an account with us.
      • If you do not have a password-protected account with us, we may require you to provide certain information such as first name, last name, phone number, service address, and/or invoice number to verify your identify.
      • Regardless of whether or not you have a password-protected account with us, if we are required by law to verify your identity to a reasonably high degree of certainty, we may require you to verify additional pieces of information and/or sign a declaration under penalty of perjury verifying your identity and request.

      • Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. If you requested a copy of the specific Personal Information we have on file about you, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance. We will not provide certain Personal Information in response to a request when the information is too sensitive, for example your social security number, financial account number, or account passwords.
    • We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
