What Personal Information Do I Provide to Verify My Identity?
We take the privacy of your personal information seriously and want to ensure that we provide only you or your authorized agent with your personal information. Applicable law also requires that we verify the identity of each person who makes a request to know what personal information we have about you or to delete the personal information we have about you. To verify your identity, we ask you to provide your:
• First name*
• Last name*
• Middle initial
• Email address
• Phone number
• Order number
• *required field
How Do You Verify My Identity?
We may verify your identity in a few different ways in order to balance the requirements of state law and our obligation to keep your information private. When you make your request, you will be asked to answer a few questions about yourself to help us validate your identity. This is a two step process using information unique to you, such as an order number, a product in an order, an address or email address, etc. If you chose to make the request online, it can be made by contacting us via our contact form.
In some instances, we may ask you to provide other documentation to verify your identity. If this happens, we will reach out to you directly with this request.
What If You Can’t Verify My Identity?
If we can’t verify your identity, we will not be able to process your request to know what personal information we have about you or to delete the personal information we have about you.

An authorized agent is a person or business who has authorization to request to know what personal information we have about you, to delete the personal information we have about you, or to opt out of the sale of personal information on behalf of a California, Virginia, or Colorado resident. Authorized agents use the same links described above to submit requests.
If you are submitting a request on behalf of another person, we require a valid power of attorney or other documentation demonstrating your authority to submit this request. This can be a letter or other documentation signed by the California, Virginia, or Colorado resident authorizing you to submit this request. You can download a sample letter from the request form.
How Do I Send You My Documentation?

Any disclosure we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt.
