Exercising your California consumer rights. Should you wish to request the exercise of your rights as detailed above with regard to your Personal Information, we will not discriminate against you by offering you different pricing or products or by providing you with a different level or quality of products, based solely upon this request. Please note that you are limited by law in the number of requests you may submit per year. In some instances, we may decline to honor your request. For example, we may decline to honor your request if we cannot verify your identity or confirm that the Personal Information that we maintain relates to you. To verify your requests, we ask that you provide information required to match the request with the consumer about whom information has been collected or utilize the authentication practices for your password-protected account.
