Authorized Agents
Some states permit their residents to designate an authorized agent to submit requests to exercise certain privacy rights on the individual’s behalf. Even if you use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, pursuant to applicable law, we may still require that you verify your identity depending on the nature of the request and sensitivity of the information at issue.
