To exercise any of the rights described above, you may submit a request either by clicking here and completing the linked Oregon Consumer Rights Request form or by contacting us at the following toll-free number: 1-844-413-6884. Except requests to opt-out of selling, we will consider only those requests submitted using these two options. For a request to opt-out of selling of personal data on sites the browser or device visits, we will also recognize an opt-out preference signal enabled on your device or browser as described above in “Opt-Out Rights.”
Exercising Your Rights to Confirm and Access, Delete, Correct, and Opt-Out
Only you or your authorized agent may make an authenticated consumer request to confirm and access, delete, correct, or opt-out your personal data. If you use an authorized agent to submit an authenticated consumer request on your behalf, you will be required to provide additional information as described below.
In order to authenticate your identity to process your request, we will request your full name, street address, city, zip code, phone number, and email address. For us to treat your request as an authenticated consumer request, you must:
- Provide sufficient information, commensurate to the type or sensitivity of the information you are requesting, that allows us to reasonably authenticate that you are the person about whom we collected personal data or an authorized representative; and
- Describe your request in sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal data if we are unable to: (a) authenticate your identity or authority to make the request, (b) confirm the personal data we have in our systems relates to you, or (c) locate your data in our systems. If the information you provided us does not match our records, in certain circumstances we may request additional information from you. If the information you provided us does match our records, your request is authenticated (an “authenticated consumer request”).
In certain circumstances, an authorized agent may submit a rights request for you. An authorized agent is a natural person or business entity you have given permission to submit a request on your behalf. An authorized agent must submit a request using one of three designated methods described above. We must be able to authenticate the authorized agent has the authority to act on your behalf. In order to authenticate the authorized agent’s authority, we generally require evidence of either (i) a valid power of attorney; or (ii) a signed letter containing your name and contact information, the name and contact information of the authorized agent, and a statement by you authorizing the authorized agent to submit an authenticated consumer request on your behalf. Depending on the evidence provided, we may still need to separately reach out to you to confirm the authorized agent has permission to act on your behalf and to authenticate your identity in connection with the request.
Response Timing and Format
We endeavor to respond to an authenticated consumer request to confirm and access, to delete, correct, or opt-out within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 45 additional days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your authenticated consumer request unless you have already made a request within the preceding twelve (12) months. 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.
Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your OCPA rights.

When we make changes to this Notice, we will post the updated Notice on the website and update the Notice’s effective date. Your continued use of our website following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
