Upon receiving a request pursuant to this Policy, we will confirm receipt within 10 (ten) days and provide you with information about how we will verify and process the request. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity (or the identity and authority of your authorized representative) prior to responding to your requests under CCPA. You agree to respond to reasonable requests by us for additional information to enable us to verify your identity in connection with your requests for information or deletion of information under the CCPA.
