You may be required to submit proof of your identity for certain of these requests to be processed. Such information may include your name, address, date of birth and government ID. This information will be used only for the purposes of verifying your identity and processing your request. We may not be able to comply with your request if we are unable to confirm your identity or to connect the information you submit in your request with personal information in our possession.

You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf subject to proof of identity and authorization as required under the applicable U.S. Consumer Privacy Laws. Requests made through an authorized agent should be submitted via our Rights Request Form or telephone at 1-800-246-8371. As part of our verification process, we may request that the agent provide, as applicable, proof concerning his or her status as an authorized agent. In addition, we may require that you verify your identity as described above or confirm that you provided the agent permission to submit the request.

We will respond to your request consistent with applicable law. If you are a Virginia resident and we refuse to take action on your request, you may appeal this refusal within a reasonable period after your receipt of the decision by submitting a request for appeal via our Rights Request Form.

We offer the opportunity to participate in programs that provide certain perks, such as rewards and exclusive offers, and promotions, such as sweepstakes and contests, which might be interpreted as a “financial incentive” because participation involves the collection of personal information. To opt-in to a program, provide your name and contact information (such as email address and/or telephone number), complete any questions, and agree to the terms and conditions of the program. We have made a good faith estimate that the value of the personal information provided to us is equivalent to the value of the benefits we provide less their expense. You have the right to withdraw from the financial incentive at any time by canceling your participation. Visit the terms and conditions of each program to view full details.

Where we maintain or use de-identified data, we will continue to maintain and use the de-identified data only in a de-identified fashion and will not attempt to re-identify the data.

We will update this Notice from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
