7. Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of the rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:
- Calling us at (312) 506-5200
- Contacting Us
Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. A verifiable consumer request must include sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information and describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you.
8. Authorized Agents
California residents have the right to designate an authorized person or entity to exercise their rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). To make this designation, please contact us. We will honor your designation if we are able to verify your identity and if we receive information necessary to verify the identity and scope of authority granted to your authorized agent.
9. Response Timing and Format
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and the legally permissible extension period in writing. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
10. Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
