Re: Verified Consumer Request to Delete Personal Information and Opt Out of Sale / Sharing

To the Privacy Officer:

I, [USER FULL NAME] (also known as: [USER ALIASES]), a resident of [USER STATE], am a "consumer" as defined under applicable U.S. state privacy laws — including, as applicable, the California Consumer Privacy Act / California Privacy Rights Act (Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1798.100 et seq.), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, the Colorado Privacy Act, the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, the Utah Consumer Privacy Act, and any analogous statute of my state of residence.

This is a verified consumer request that you, within the time periods required by the controlling statute:

  (1) DELETE all personal information you have collected, processed, sold, shared, or otherwise made available about me, and direct any service providers, contractors, or third parties to which you have disclosed such information to do the same; and

  (2) OPT ME OUT of any sale or sharing of my personal information, including for cross-context behavioral advertising and any targeted-advertising disclosure; and

  (3) CONFIRM completion in writing to the address above within forty-five (45) days.

The following information identifies the personal information at issue and is provided solely to enable you to verify and effectuate this request — not to update or expand your records:

Name(s): [USER FULL NAME] ; [USER ALIASES]
Current address (verification only — do NOT republish): [USER ADDRESS]
Prior addresses appearing in your records: [PRIOR ADDRESSES]
Associated phone numbers / email addresses: [PHONES EMAILS]
