In the last 12 months, we have not disclosed any categories of your Personal Information identified under “Information We Collect” for a business purpose.

YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) provides consumers (i.e., California residents) with specific rights (listed below and subsequently referred to as “California Privacy Rights”), subject to some limitations and the verification of their identity, regarding their Personal Information:

1. Consumers have the right to request access to the specific pieces of personal information Verity has collected, disclosed or sold about them in the last 12 months, including the categories of information, sources and business purposes of collection, as well as the categories of third parties to whom Verity has disclosed or shared the personal information.
2. Consumers have the right to request deletion of their personal information (subject to certain exceptions).
3. Consumers have the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information.
4. Consumers have the right to receive equal service and price and not be discriminated against for exercising their privacy rights under the CCPA.

In order for Verity to process a request for you to exercise your California Privacy Rights, Verity will first verify certain personal information that you provide, depending on the nature of the information you require, which we will attempt to match with information we maintain about you to verify your identity. Information to identify and verify your agent can be submitted through the same mechanism and at the same time that you submit information to verify your identity. Please submit your requests by contacting us at this toll-free number: 877-433-8068 or by using the “Exercise Your California Privacy Rights” interactive web form, available here: Contact Us

You may designate an authorized agent to exercise your California Privacy Rights on your behalf in accordance with the CCPA. Verity may require that you provide the authorized agent with written permission to act on your behalf and that the authorized agent verify his or her identity directly with us. Information to identify and verify your agent can be submitted through the same mechanism and at the same time that you submit information to verify your identity.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable 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.

When you submit a request to exercise your California Privacy Rights, Verity will do its best to respond to your request as soon as possible, and, in any event, no later than 45 days after receiving your request. You may only make a request twice within a 12-month calendar year.
