Article 10 (Disclosure, Correction, or Removal of Personal Information.)
If a User requests disclosure, correction, or removal of his or her Personal Information, Company shall comply with such requests, except where prohibited by law. Note that Company's fulfillment of a User’s request to remove Personal Information may not ensure complete or comprehensive removal (e.g., if the content or information has been captured or reposted by another User).
Article 11 (Requests and Inquiries)
For requests to know what Personal Information Company collected about the User in the preceding 12 months, or for requests to correct or delete Personal Information, Users must submit a verifiable consumer request that (1) provides Company with sufficient information to reasonably verify that the person making the request is a User about whom Company collected Personal Information or an authorized representative of a User and (2) describes the User’s request with sufficient detail to allow Company to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to the User’s request. A verifiable consumer request should include, at a minimum, the requesting User’s full name (first, middle, and last name), the email address the User used to register for Company’s products, and the username that he or she used in registering for Company’s products or services. Company will use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request only to verify the requesting party’s identity or authority to act on behalf of the requesting party. If Company is unable to verify that the person submitting a verifiable consumer request to know, correct, or delete Personal Information is either a User or is authorized by a User to act on such User’s behalf, Company will be unable to respond to such a request and will be unable to disclose Personal Information. Company may submit one or more requests for further information to allow Company to verify the legitimacy of such a request. To exercise his or her rights to know, to correct, or to delete Personal Information, a User may submit a verifiable consumer request to Company by any of the three means provided for below.
Users may submit requests to opt-out of the sale of Personal Information or may provide comments, questions, concerns, or other feedback about Company’s handling of Personal Information, by any request, which need not be a verifiable consumer request.
Users may submit verifiable consumer requests (to know, correct, or delete Personal Information) or ordinary requests (to opt-out of sales of Personal Information or for inquiries or feedback about Company’s handling of Personal Information) to Company by any of the following methods:

Company will attempt to respond to a User’s request to know, correct, or delete Personal Information within forty-five (45) days of the User’s request. If Company needs more time (not to exceed an additional 45 days), it will notify the requesting party of such need in writing within 45 days of the User’s request. If a User has an account with Company, it will deliver its written response to that account. If a User does not have an account with Company, it will deliver its written response by mail or electronically, at the User’s election. Company does not charge a fee to process or respond to a verifiable consumer 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.
Article 12 (Do Not Track Requests)
Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring Do Not Track (DNT) signals, Company does not respond to them at this time.
Article 13 (Changes to Privacy Policy)
Company reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy without the prior agreement of the User when it deems it necessary and at any time.
In the event Company makes changes as provided for in the preceding paragraph, Company will promptly notify Users, such as by posting a notice on Company’s website. After Company makes changes to this Privacy Policy and notifies Users per the preceding sentence, continued use of the Services by the User will be deemed acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
