This section describes additional rights provided to individuals in states with privacy laws that provide additional rights to their residents (collectively, the “State Privacy Laws”).

For the purposes of this section, “Personal Information” has the meaning given to “personal data,” “personal information” or other similar terms in applicable State Privacy Laws, and does not include information exempted from the scope of applicable State Privacy Laws.

The State Privacy Laws may provide residents with some additional rights. However, please note that some State Privacy Laws do not provide these rights to their residents. Therefore, we may decline your request in certain cases as permitted by applicable state law. These rights include:

  • Right to Know. You have the right to know whether we are processing your Personal Information and request how we collect and use your Personal Information;
  • Right to Access. You have the right to request a copy of your Personal Information that we process;
  • Right to Appeal. You have the right to appeal if we deny your validly submitted request;
  • Right to Correct. You have the right to require the correction of any mistake in your Personal Information, whether incomplete or inaccurate, that we hold about you;
  • Right to Delete. You have the right to request the deletion of your Personal Information in certain situations, such as when you withdraw your consent or if we no longer need your Personal Information; and
  • Right to Non-Discrimination. You are entitled to all of the other rights described above free from discrimination.

If you are a resident of a state that has a State Privacy Law that provides you with additional rights, you have the right to file a complaint with your state’s data privacy authority if you believe that we have not followed your applicable State Privacy Law.

More information about your rights as a consumer may be found on your State’s Department of Justice Website. For more information about how to exercise your rights or make a request under your applicable State Privacy Law, please reference Section 11 (“How to Exercise Your Rights”) below.

  1. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your privacy rights, please submit a verifiable consumer request to info@wcbglaw.com

We will contact you to confirm receipt of your request under State Privacy Laws or other data protection laws and request any additional information necessary to verify your request. We verify requests by matching the information provided in connection with your request to the information contained in our records. Depending on the sensitivity of the request and the varying levels of risk in responding to such requests (for example, the risk of responding to fraudulent or malicious requests), we may request that you verify your identity. You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request under certain State Privacy Laws on your behalf, provided that you provide a signed agreement verifying such authorized agent’s authority to make requests on your behalf, and we may verify such authorized person’s identity using the procedures above.

The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information, or an authorized representative.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to understand, evaluate, and respond to it properly.

We will not be able to respond to your request or provide you with specific pieces of Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity and authority to make the request.

Our goal is to respond to any verifiable consumer request within 45 days of receiving it and, in any event, within the timeline required by applicable law. If we cannot meet that timeline, we will inform you in writing. Please contact us at info@wcbglaw.com with any questions about this Privacy Notice.
