        6. Non-Discrimination: You have the right to not experience discriminatory treatment, and we will not discriminate against you, because you have exercised any California consumer privacy rights.

      3. Verifying Your Requests. To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your Personal Information or complying with your request. If we are successful in validating your identity, we will respond to your request within the time and in the manner required by CCPA. If we are unable to verify your identity, we will need to deny your request. We reserve the right to deny requests in certain circumstances, such as where we have a reasonable belief that the request is fraudulent.
        1. Consumer Verification. If you request to know, access, delete, and/or correct your Personal Information, we may require you to provide any of the following information: address, date of birth, state or country of residence, telephone number, email address, or details of a transaction. In addition, if you ask us to provide you with specific pieces of Personal Information, we may require you to sign a declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose Personal Information is the subject of the request. We will use the information you submit and the information we have in our systems to try to verify your identity and to match the Personal Information we have collected about you, if any, to your identity.
        2. Authorized Agent. If you designate an authorized agent to make an access or deletion request on your behalf, we may require you to (1) provide the authorized agent written permission (e.g., via a notarized letter) to do so, and (2) verify your own identity directly with us (as described above), and confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.
