Exercising Consumer Privacy Rights:

You may submit a request to exercise most of your privacy rights under U.S. state privacy laws by submitting a Data Subject Request form available here and send it to our privacy team at: contact@wochit.com 

For certain rights, we will take steps to verify your identity and your request by matching the information provided by you with the information we have in our records. In some cases, we may request additional information to verify your identity, or where necessary to process your request. If we are unable to verify your identity after a good faith attempt, we may deny the request and, if so, will explain the basis for denial and how to remedy any deficiencies, where applicable.

Authorized agents may initiate a request on behalf of another individual, provided that they provide proof of their authorization, and we may also require that the individual directly verify his/her identity and the authority of the authorized agent.

We will respond to your request within the timeframe required under applicable law, and we reserve the right to extend the response time subject to applicable law requirements. If we refuse to take action on a request, we will notify you and our notification will include a justification for declining to take action and instructions on how you may appeal. Within the timeframe set out under applicable law of our receipt of your appeal, we will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written explanation of the reasons for the decisions. If the appeal is denied, you may submit a complaint to the applicable authority or Attorney General of your jurisdiction.
