Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

How to Exercise Your CCPA Rights

1. Contact Us

To exercise your rights under the CCPA, please submit a verifiable consumer request by calling us at this telephone number 1-866-649-8473, by completing this webform or emailing us at web@tbccorp.com.

You may submit a verifiable consumer request on your own behalf or on the behalf of your minor child.

In addition, you may designate an agent to submit a verifiable consumer request on your behalf for a request to know information or to delete information. However, you must provide the agent written permission authorizing the agent to submit the request on your behalf. The agent must also verify his/her identity with us directly before we will provide him/her your information. This is not required of the authorized agent if you have provided the agent a power of attorney through Probate Court.

An authorized agent must provide the requested proof or we may deny the request. Additionally, the verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us reasonably to verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative. It must also 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. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.

Requests are limited. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.

2. Requests

  • Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and verify your request, we will disclose to you:

  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information (if applicable).
  • The categories of other parties with whom we share that personal information.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).

    • disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.f we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:
  • Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we have about you, subject to certain exceptions.

  1. We may deny your deletion request, or fulfill it only in part, based on our legal rights and obligations. For example, we may keep personal information as permitted by the CCPA, such as for tax purposes or to process transactions and facilitate customer requests.

3. Response Timing and Format

Upon receiving your request to know or a request to delete, we will confirm receipt of the request and provide information about how we will process the request, including our verification process. We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request to know and/or to delete within 45 days of its receipt, though we may take up to an additional 45 days (for a total of 90-days) if necessary. Any disclosures we provide may only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt.

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.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
