We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request. If you are incurred notary cost when submitting your request, please provide the cost of notary so that we may reimburse you.
Authorized Agent
An authorized agent is any person or legal
entity registered with the California Secretary of State that you have authorized to
act on your behalf. If we receive a request through your authorized agent, we may
require:
- Submission of a written document signed by you with your permission for the authorized agent to submit a verifiable request on your behalf and require the authorized agent to verify its own identity to us; or
- You to directly verify with us that you have provided the authorized agent to submit the request.
We may not require either of the above if your authorized agent provides a copy of a
valid power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code, and we are able to
verify the authorized agent’s identity.
We will deny a request from an agent
that does not submit adequate proof that they have been authorized by you to act on
your behalf and cannot verify their own identity to us.
