If you are a California resident and an agent makes a request on your behalf, we may request a power of attorney provided to the agent by you pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4121 4130. If you have not provided a power of attorney, we may require proof that you have provided signed permission authorizing the agent to make a request on your behalf. (“Signed” means that the permission has either been physically signed or provided electronically in accordance with the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, Civil Code 1633.7 et seq.) We may also require you to: (i) verify your own identity directly with us; or (ii) directly confirm with us that you provided the agent permission to submit the request. If an agent wants to make a request to opt-out of the sharing of your Personal Information on your behalf, we may only ask for the proof that you have provided signed permission authorizing the agent to make a request on your behalf.
