You may submit a request described below or submit one through an authorized agent (examples of an authorized agent may include a power of attorney, guardian, conservator or one registered with the California Secretary of State). Requests submitted to us are subject to review, identification, and verification.

In some cases, we may suggest that you receive the most recent or a summary of your personal information and give you the opportunity to elect whether to receive the rest of your personal information. We reserve the right to direct you to where you may access and copy responsive personal information.
